Handling both heavy workloads and off-road adventures with ease, the 2023 RAM 1500 is a versatile pickup that’s ready for a challenge. While offering best-in-class horsepower and an upscale interior, this edition also comes with plenty of cutting-edge entertainment features, ensuring no drive is a dull one.

Engines and Versatility

Regardless of which of the four available engines you choose with this edition, all are impressively powerful, with 702 horsepower, a 12,750-pound maximum towing capacity, and up to 29 mpg in fuel efficiency offered among them. Options range from a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel to a 6.2-liter V8 gas engine, and the available 4×4 system can easily take you beyond the beaten path whenever nature calls.

There’s also Selec-Speed Control, which allows you to enjoy every drive and take in your surroundings by acting as a cruise control for off-road scenarios. On highways, the Active Air Dam can improve the truck’s aerodynamics while reducing drag, both of which translate to improved fuel efficiency.

Interior and Technology

Along with room for up to six passengers and best-in-class rear legroom, this pickup offers many comfortable interior options, including leather-trimmed seats that can be heated and fully reclined and a mood-setting ambient lighting feature that provides multiple color options for you to choose from. Also, the active noise cancellation feature makes every drive peaceful, while the 10-square-foot dual-pane panoramic sunroof lets every passenger take in immersive sky views when the weather’s nice.

As for technology, a wide range of advanced features are offered, like the Uconnect 5 NAV system, which offers an expansive 12-inch touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, multiple ways to listen to music, and turn-by-turn navigation instructions to guide you to destinations. This is complemented by an available Wi-Fi hotspot that allows you and all your passengers to connect to the internet at the same time anywhere within a 50-foot distance of the truck.

Driver-Assist Features

Whether you’re exploring city streets or traversing through off-road terrains, the 1500’s many driver-assist features can keep you safe, including both Blind Spot Monitoring and the 360-degree camera system. The first feature notifies you whenever it detects other vehicles hidden in any of your blind spot zones, while the second provides immersive views and different angles of your surroundings to make parking, trailering, and off-roading safer.

Pedestrian Emergency Braking can detect when people are walking in front of your truck while bringing you to a stop if necessary, and both Forward Collision Warning and Active Braking work together to do the same if slower-moving vehicles are blocking your path.

With the performance needed to tackle tough challenges and a stylish interior that’s as tech-ready as it is comfortable, the 2023 edition of the RAM 1500 is a clear standout. Come see all of its other features up close by contacting us today at Mike Molstead Motors.
