Four engines are available for the Ram 1500 in the 2023 model year. Looking under the hood, you'll find a 305-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 as standard equipment. Pushing out 260 lb-ft of torque, this engine allows drivers to tow up to 7,730 pounds. For better performance and higher towing capacity, the sought-after 5.7L V8 HEMI is optional, pushing out 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, hauling up to 11,610 pounds. If you select the available 5.7L V8 with eTorque mild-hybrid technology, that towing capacity is boosted to an impressive 12,750 pounds! Meanwhile, hauling up to 12,560 pounds with 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque is the 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel. Last but certainly not least, the Ram 1500 TRX pumps out an exhilarating 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque from a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine, ripping from 0-60 in just 4.5 seconds. With any engine, the Ram 1500 comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive as standard equipment, while 4x4 is optional. The only exception to this is the TRX, which comes standard with 4x4.

The Ram 1500 is so popular because Ram finds new ways to upgrade the truck while continuing to provide everything drivers already love about it. In the 2023 model year, Ram adds a wide selection of new available features. The rugged Ram 1500 Rebel now comes with Selec-Speed as standard equipment. Selec-Speed aids in off-roading control by automatically maintaining a consistent speed while driving on trails, much like cruise control. This system also comes standard with Ram 1500 Big Horn trims that are equipped with the Back Country Package and Big Horn, Laramie, and Limited trims equipped with the Off-Road Group. The new available 12-inch frameless digital gauge cluster offers 3D graphics, easy-to-see vehicle stats, gauges, navigation, and more directly in your line of sight. This driver information screen is fully customizable with five configurable tiles. Lastly, the 2023 model year brings a new special edition, called the Ram 1500 Limited Elite Edition. This takes the already luxurious Ram 1500 Limited and adds even more luxury with premium leather bucket seats, 12-way power-adjustable front seats, heated/cooled front seats, a suede headliner, a bright pedal kit, and a unique digital gauge cluster theme. Outside the Limited Elite Edition, you'll find a deployable bed step, four adjustable cargo tie-down hooks, an open tailgate warning lamp, a locking multi-function tailgate, and a bed extender and cargo divider.

The IIHS Top Safety Pick has been given to the Ram 1500 numerous times, with its high-strength steel frame protecting cabin occupants from collision impact. In the event of a collision, drivers are protected by front, side, and knee airbags. Meanwhile, the front passenger is provided with front and side airbags. Both front airbags are equipped with adaptive damping technology, which detects the severity of the crash and the occupant's size and weight and adjusts the airbags deployment rate accordingly. To provide superior stopping power to keep you, your passengers, and your cargo safe, the Ram 1500 features the largest brakes in its class, spanning 14.9 inches. To add even more safety to the Ram 1500, the Advanced Safety Group is available. This group of high-tech driver aids offers features including but not limited to lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, blindspot monitoring, rear cross-traffic warning, and lane-keep assist.
