Engines and Towing

This edition of the 1500 pickup gives drivers a wide array of engines to choose from, including both V6 and V8 options. While there’s an engine for just about any task, two obvious standouts in the group are the 702-horsepower 6.2-liter HEMI V8 and the 260-horsepower 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6, which offers an estimated driving range of 1,000 miles.

As for towing, a 12,750-pound maximum towing capacity is achievable with one of the other engines, a 395-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI V8, making both work jobs and recreational outings with a trailer more than possible.


Off-Road Capabilities

The 2023 1500 is also more than capable of conquering rugged terrains with its available four-wheel drive, which is complemented by Selec-Speed Control, a cruise control for low-speed off-road driving.

For even more trail-tackling capabilities, both the Rebel and TRX trims have been designed for tougher challenges with additional features like 33-inch tires on Rebel models, 35-inch ones on the TRX, and performance-tuned shock absorbers on both.


Interior and Exterior

Inside the truck, you can relax in the leather-trimmed seats, which offer both heating and ventilation settings, while an active noise cancellation system is available to reduce road noise. Also available is a dual-pane panoramic sunroof that’s 10 square feet in size, allowing everyone in the cabin to enjoy a cool breeze when it’s opened.

Keeping cargo organized and covered is also easy, thanks to the available RamBox Cargo Management System, which is not only weatherproof and lockable but also features a 115-volt/400-watt power outlet.


Technology and Safety

Helping to guide the way while also keeping everyone entertained, the Uconnect 5 NAV system pairs with a full-color 12-inch touchscreen and provides everything from advanced navigation assistance to hands-free calling, as well as smartphone connectivity. Then there’s the Digital Rearview Mirror, which uses a rear-facing camera to show you what’s happening behind the vehicle in real-time.

Monitoring for hazards in front of you, Forward Collision Warning can let you know if it detects obstacles in your path, while Active Braking can fully stop the truck if you’re unable to do so. When reversing the truck out of parking spaces or into roads, Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection watches for oncoming traffic from either side and can notify you of threats before you pull out.
 
Thanks to its stunning engine options, off-road capabilities, and innovative technology that can be found throughout both its cabin and driver-assist features, the 2023 1500 pickup has it all.
