The 2023 Ram 1500 offers uncommonly smooth driving manners because of its distinct rear suspension design. You also get unique upscale interior highlighted by the optional 12-inch touchscreen display. The V6 and V8 engines are both solid choices, but the second-generation EcoDiesel V6 has even more going for it.

The reasons why are many but include an upscale interior, a surprisingly comfortable ride quality and, of course, the utility you might expect from a large pickup truck. And much like other full-size trucks, the Ram 1500 is available in a bewildering array configurations and can be dressed up or dressed down to suit the needs of its buyer.

The Ram 1500 can also get as dirty as you dare thanks to the TRX, a no-holds-barred off-road monster. Aimed squarely at the Ford Raptor (T. rex vs. Raptor — get it?) the TRX boasts a hysterical 702-horsepower supercharged V8, suspension designed for high-speed desert running and enough creature comforts to almost make you forget you're barely getting 10 miles to the gallon.
No doubt you're familiar with the Ram's closest rivals, the Chevrolet Silverado and the Ford F-150. All three of these trucks offer similar levels of power, capability, technology and customization. Toyota's back with its recently redesigned Tundra, too. Be sure to read our Expert Rating below to see if the Ram 1500 has what it takes to earn a spot in your garage.
What's it like to live with?
One reason we're such big fans of the Ram 1500 is that we bought one and lived with it for two years and more than 35,000 miles. The crew-cab short-bed Laramie's 5.7-liter V8 utterly guzzled gas, but aside from an unusual number of minor recalls, the 2019 Ram 1500 proved comfortable, capable and trouble-free. Get all of the details in our Ram 1500 long-term test.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Great
8.4
out of 10
We drove the 2023 Ram 1500 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8.5/10
How does the 1500 drive? Our test truck had the V8 engine and the eight-speed transmission. They work so well together that we could recommend this truck on that basis alone. It's strong and it's easy to drive in just about every situation. The same can largely be said for the EcoDiesel powertrain — especially if you appreciate the pulling power of diesel torque.
But there's much more to the Ram than solid powertrain choices. We've tested many Ram configurations, and they all impress us with their steady steering, confident braking and secure handling. Ram's decade-old decision to walk away from leaf springs and switch to a coil-spring rear suspension continues to pay dividends.

Ram's decade-old decision to walk away from leaf springs and switch to a coil-spring rear suspension continues to pay dividends.
Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the 1500? Wind and road noise is minimal, particularly in higher trim levels. Even the rumbling V8 provides only a soothing soundtrack unless you decide to open it up. The Ram 1500 expertly soaks up varying road imperfections and does it without the rough ride you'd normally expect from a light-duty pickup.
The front seats are nicely shaped to provide comfort and support over long distances, and that's even true of the entry-level Tradesman. Even the rear bench has an agreeable backrest angle, and it reclines a surprising amount in higher trims. We also like the Ram 1500's effective climate control system, which offers rear center A/C vents even if you get three-across front seating.

Interior
8.5/10
How’s the interior? The Ram 1500 crew cab's interior is a pleasing place to spend time. The doors open wide to make it easy to get in, and all four doors have their own chunky and well-positioned grab handles. For the driver, there are easy-to-reach controls and a commanding view of the road.
Passengers in any seat will find plenty of headroom, legroom and shoulder room. The cabin is spacious, and the Ram has more rear legroom and foot clearance than competing trucks. Although the rearview mirror is a bit small, the Ram's large windows and clever hood design help with outward visibility overall.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? The optional 12-inch touchscreen is a dazzling addition to any vehicle, let alone a pickup truck. It offers a huge map and sharp graphics. The 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system is also impressive and offers navigation. Both get multiple USB and USB-C ports, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility. Meanwhile, the 5-inch screen in the Tradesman has the basics down pat.
Ram unfortunately does not include any driver assist features as standard equipment. Only the Laramie model and above offer parking sensors, forward collision mitigation and lane departure mitigation. When it's equipped, adaptive cruise control does a good job of bringing the truck down to a complete stop. Automated parking assistance is available, and it works admirably.

Towing and Storage
9/10
How are the towing and storage? Tow ratings, particularly for the diesel, are stout for this class. With the V8 or the diesel engine, most of the Ram 1500's common configurations can pull more than 11,000 pounds, and some exceed 12,000 pounds. The optional RamBox locking bins built into the side of the bed are useful for storing tools or towing equipment. There's also an optional two-way tailgate that can open downward or outward like doors.
Interior storage space is another area where the truck shines. Its center console is enormous and highly configurable. The Ram can be ordered with hidden compartment spaces in the rear floor, underneath the rear seats or in the back cushions themselves. The rear seat folds up as one piece or in a 60/40 split on higher trims.

The rear seat folds up as one piece or in a 60/40 split on higher trims.
Fuel Economy
8/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Ram's combined city/highway fuel economy ranges, for the most part, from the high teens to the low 20s depending on the engine and whether you get rear- or four-wheel drive. But the EcoDiesel V6 is the mpg star here. With rear-wheel drive, it posts an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined. With the optional 33-gallon tank, it can go about 1,000 highway miles on a fill-up. Our 4WD test truck with the diesel returned a 24.2 mpg average over 923 mixed-driving test miles.
Value
7.5/10
Is the 1500 a good value? The Ram 1500's build quality, at first, feels and looks great, especially in the more upscale trim levels such as Big Horn, Laramie and beyond. However, after spending some extended time in a long-term test truck, we experienced a few part failures, revealing lesser quality than we originally perceived. Ram pricing remains pretty competitive, though.
Ram's engine choices are largely independent of trim, so you're not forced to spend more for a big engine if you want an economical V6 in a nicely trimmed truck. On the flip side, you can also buy the top-tier diesel in something like a Tradesman work truck, a unique move that makes it a diesel bargain compared to the competition. You won't find anything more than the usual warranty coverage, but that's no bad thing.

You won't find anything more than the usual warranty coverage, but that's no bad thing.
Wildcard
8.5/10
The Ram 1500 is a smart and civilized truck that doesn't drive like anything else in its class. Much of that is attributable to its independent rear suspension, which makes it pleasing to drive and gives it an uncommonly smooth ride. Opting for the Rebel off-road version will get you more off-road potential with no real loss in comfort.
Once known for big-rig styling, the Ram 1500 is now more stylish and aerodynamic. It doesn't hit you over the head with a tough-truck theme. This aesthetic carries over inside, where the Ram impresses with a handsome look that is logically laid out and oozes quality. And the 12-inch screen and reclining rear seat never get old.

2023 Ram 1500 trim level differences
The 2023 Ram 1500 comes in seven core trim levels: Tradesman (and Tradesman HFE), Big Horn (called the Lone Star in Texas), Rebel, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, Limited and TRX. Compare the 2023 Ram 1500 trim levels in-depth.
Which 1500 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Because there haven't been any significant changes to the trims this year, we suggest the Laramie as the best all-around choice. There's a healthy amount of standard equipment as well as access to countless powertrain and other options.

I have had five Ford F-150 including two raptors. I test drove the Ram 1500 Limited and the ride was incredible. It reminded me of my 2009 Lexus LS 460 . I really liked the soft Lexus ride. It could not believe that the Ram 1500 Limited drives like a Lexus as a result of the Air suspension. I immediately purchased the vehicle .

2022 Ram 1500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 5.6 ft SB (3.6L 6cyl gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
Love the drive and the plush interior. My last 4 cars from oldest to most recent were BMW, and then 3 consecutive Audis and I have to say, this truck is a pleasure to drive. Definitely different from the German engineering and tight suspension but a delight to drive.
Updating my review after 1 year and 16k miles. Still loving the truck. I have the turbo diesel and took the family to … Florida last summer. Averaged 32 mpg while averaging 78 mph. Absolutely no issues thus far.
Update Jan. 2024. Have owned the truck for 2 years. 33500 miles. Still running great. Love the 4 cyl eco diesel mpg. I’m shocked that after 2 years there have been no rattles, etc.

2022 Ram 1500 Limited 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.6 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
I have now put about 33000 miles on my 2022 Longhorn Limited with E-tron mild hybrid 5.7 liter gas Hemi engine. I paid 75,000 for the truck. The only options it does not have are two I would have really liked had I known. Air Suspension and the Ram box in the bed sides. I bought this truck after going to Ford wanted who wanted 10 grand over sticker for an F-150 on the lot and 2-5 grand … over sticker on F-150 orders. I paid 1800.00 over sticker on this truck for the dealers "appearance" package. Meaning their checkbook appeared to get bigger.
What I love about the truck.
1. The ride for a big truck is nice. Coil springs in the back make a difference. I have not towed with this truck yet but feel confident in the ability. Tons of power
2. Shifting is smoooooth. Very smooth. Cannot feel it. Update: Transmisson slips on occasion. Takes time to get into gear from stop. Annoying and can be alarming.
3. The interior is one of the best. For 75 grand it should be. The layout is almost perfect.
4. Comfortable seats and with the added heat and vent for A/C. Huge cabin. I could live here. Looks great, leather is beautiful. Real wood and mental accents including belt buckles for the rear seat pockets. Nice touch. Plenty of storage.
5.Gas mileage is better than expected. I use Cruise Control a bunch and have been able to get 20.5 miles to the gallon at the top end, avg around 18.5 overall.
6. Infotainment System is mostly awesome. 12 in screen in great and you can split screen. Apple car play is sketchy. I have had the system on the truck reboot itself and shut down. :(
7. Rear view mirror has a camera option that gives you a very clear picture of the rear, behind the truck.
8. Sensors all around are accurate and everywhere. Good in a big truck.
Things I do not like.
1. Fit and finish- The interior has a gap or two and things stick up when they should not. Had a dent inside the drivers door from delivery. Did not notice it right away. Who would?
2. Transmission from stop. Sometimes get kicked like a mule at start up sometimes. Not always but sometimes.
3. The adaptive Cruise Control is scary at times, really shoddy if you ask me compared to a 24 thousand dollar Honda Accord. Examples: If a car is exiting, the truck will slam on the brakes even after the car is fully out of your lane, like its tracking the car and not what is in front of you. Can cause rear end collisions. Start Stop can leave you on the highway. When traffic starts moving again in front of you, you have to step on the gas to get the truck moving, or you sit there like a fool waiting.
4. The Auto door unlock feature is only on the front two doors. Annoying.
5. Lane Keep assist is VERY weak. Not really worth having. Honda Accord I had 3 years ago had a great system with minimal corrections. The truck oversteers dramatically and will pull you out of the lane into the next lane.
6. Brakes are already squeaking at 3200 miles. May have squeaked before that but its just started getting nice out. Windows down you can hear the squeaks.
7. Infotainment center goes blank from time to time, switches to radio and back to blue tooth.

UPDATE: I spent 80 thousand dollars on this truck. Makes me feel stupid while I type this. The adaptive cruise control will get me killed someday. It’s that bad. Like a five year old programmed it. The 12 inch screen is great but wonky. Bluetooth comes and goes and the screen is sometimes unresponsive. Gas mileage is ok. 16-18 miles to a gallon. Truck is very comfortable and so far two years in, nothing major…yet. Starting wheel cracked at the top (laminate) and is being replaced. Maybe all 2020 to 2022 vehicles are like this due yo COVID but..80,000 is a lot of money to pay for a just ok truck. Hey Ford, want to sell me a hybrid f-150?
PS. It’s a Long Horn Limited model. No air suspension or tool box in bed.
