Work and Play Hard With the Versatile 2023 Ram 1500

The new Ram 1500 is here and brings with it a wide array of stunning performance features that are sure to impress, whether you're cruising the streets of Kernersville, NC or taking it off-road. Its cabin is spacious and comfortable, while its design gives off an intimidating look with its wide-bodied stance. So if you're in the market for an off-road-capable pickup that can seat up to six passengers, here's why you should take a closer look at this versatile pickup.

Engines

The new edition of the Ram 1500 offers plenty of powerful engines to choose from, with both V6 and V8 options available. The clear standout in the group is the 702-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI® V8, which is available exclusively for the rugged TRX edition.

An available 395-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 delivers 410 pound-feet of torque, perfect for getting tough jobs done, while even the smallest engine, a 3.6-liter V6, produces an impressive 305 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. For long road trips, the 260-horsepower 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 will give you a greater driving range than any other engine in its class, with over 1,000 miles achievable on a single tank of gas.

Performance

Towing a trailer with the Ram 1500 is easy when you have a 12,750-pound max tow rating, thanks to the 5.7-liter engine, and if you love the outdoors, four-wheel drive is available and is enhanced by a lifted suspension and 33-inch tires on the trail-dominating Rebel model.

To make off-road driving easier, there's also Selec-Speed Control, which works as a cruise control at slower speeds by controlling both brake pressure and engine torque.

Interior

Inside the cabin, you can relax in comfort with leather, power-adjustable seats that offer both ventilating and heating functions, tuck cargo away in the in-floor storage bins or shift the vehicle in style with the all-new jeweled rotary gear shift dial.

Every model also comes with an advanced air system that filters out 95 percent of particulates to help protect you from allergens and air pollution, and for expansive sky views that all passengers can enjoy, there's an available dual-pane panoramic sunroof, as well.

Technology

For all your entertainment and information needs, the Uconnect® 5 NAV system is an all-in-one system that pairs with a 12-inch touchscreen and lets you control music selections and request navigation instructions using your voice. To keep tabs on vehicles behind you, even with taller passengers in the backseat, there's a Digital Rearview Mirror that uses a camera in the rear of the vehicle instead of a traditional reflective mirror.

You can also keep track of your driving speed, monitor vehicle information, or screen incoming calls without even turning your head or looking down, thanks to the Head-Up Display, which puts all this info on the windshield directly in front of you.

Safety

As for safety features, this pickup surpasses most expectations, with intuitive features like Lane Keep, which keeps you centered between lane markers in the road, and a Blind Spot Monitoring System, a feature that warns you of hidden vehicles in your blind spots.

There's also a Pedestrian Emergency Braking feature that can stop the vehicle immediately at slower speeds when people or animals dart out in front of the vehicle, while Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking can do the same on highways when other vehicles suddenly stop in your lane up ahead.
