How much does the 2023 RAM 2500 cost?

Prices have softened 6.36% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,830 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $49,133.70, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2023 RAM 2500 a good car?

Generally — the 2023 RAM 2500 earns a 4.2/5 user rating, and our experts give it 7.5/10 overall.

The standout strength is Performance at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise its blend of power and comfort, along with its towing ability and the value it brings for heavy-duty work. The user feedback also points to a truck that feels well suited to both work and leisure, with many owners appreciating the spacious cabin and strong engine options.

The trade-offs are real, though: the expert review calls out the column shifter as flimsy and notes that the turbodiesel engine option is expensive. The overview also frames this truck as a heavy-duty model that can serve as both a work tool and a more comfortable daily-use truck, which helps explain why it appeals to buyers who want capability without giving up refinement.

With 31.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 RAM 2500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.2/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a truck that many owners find dependable for heavy-duty use, with repeated praise for its strong performance and overall usefulness over time. At the same time, some drivers mention transmission concerns and reports of failures, so the reliability picture is not spotless.

The expert review also describes the truck as refined and surprisingly docile in everyday driving, which supports the idea that it can be a comfortable long-term companion if you choose carefully. For used buyers, the main ownership risk is that transmission-related concerns could turn into costly repairs if you skip a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 RAM 2500?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because even a strong accident-free share does not tell you how a specific truck was used or maintained. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on drivetrain condition, towing wear, and signs of hard use. Pay close attention to how the truck drives, shifts, and feels under load, since this model is often bought for demanding work.
