2023 Ram 1500 Limited - REVIEW and POV DRIVE - Still the BEST 1/2 Ton Truck?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- In 2019, Ram came out with the 5th generation of their 1500 series truck, and it was FAR nicer than the competition both inside and out.. Does that still hold true for 2023 with both Ford and Chevy's redesigned interior and exterior? Watch the video and decide that for yourself...

Incredible truck !!!! I drove 2020 Limited and couldn't believe how this damn truck rides. I forgot I was in a pick up truck. Dodge nailed it GOOD !! Thank you for a nice review.
They do ride great.. I agree, Ram did a great job with the 2019+ trucks
Great review sir I have a 2022 myself. There were several features that the dealer didn’t show me and I had to watch manufacturers videos in order to learn. One feature in particular that blew my mind. Is the rear seats recline. They actually have 3 setting including the upright position.
My dad always insists we take his truck when I visit him in Detroit (a 2016 RAM 1500 5.7 L V8). It's always a joy getting to be his chauffeur because of how nice that 5.7 Liter sounds getting up to speed for highway merging. Currently saving up for one myself. Definitely going for the 6.2 😏
I have a 2020 Big Horn North Edition with the Hemi. Fantastic truck. Really great. Not a single issue with it.
Dude, thank you so much, very informative about the ram truck explaining everything, when I purchase mine I wish I could hire you to help me with the purchase.
Glad to help
Ya Ram dominates the truck world hands down 😂, I own a TRX and it’s got all the options covered and a beast !!!
TRX is an absolute beast. Had one as my work truck at my last job for like 6ish months and 7/8k miles. Loved it. Just was hard to park in parking garages 😂
no doesn't. The truck on the road tells us it doesn't.
Thanx for the thorough review. I watched TFL (Roman/Nathan) who is a superb truk guy n who secretly adores the RAM 1500 BUT cannot say it. I have the Limited and did not know the gear selector was dummy proof. This is super important to know. I can attest that the gear selector +/_ is not dummy proof as I found out the hard way.
Lol.. Glad you liked the vid
I wish there was a setting on the ram to auto lower to park mode when parking the car. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has this and it’s a nice feature
Consumer Reports, Motor Trend, and Car & Driver all state the RAM 1500 is the best 1/2 pickup. I got the limited and love it. The RAM's ride and handling are superior when compared to the others on twisty roads with uneven surfaces. RAM quality has dramatically improved, as noted by CR. However, resale values are still higher with the Toyota, Tondra, which was my second choice. Lastly, RAM is now aggressively pricing its trucks due to slower sales.
This is the only truck I must have one bro.
It is very nice
Me in wife is buying a 2024 limited edition Dodge ram
Just got a lightly driven 23 Limited demo and love it so far. Shopping for a Ram now has finally turned back into more of a buyers market with rebates and pretty aggressive dealer discounts as well.
If you don’t mind me asking, what did you get it for?
@@703Speed A 16K discount off the sticker price of just over 80K. Last business day of the year can make for a motivated seller.
I just had two mechanics who repair rams all the time tell me not to get the ram. They told me they see too many and make to many repairs which is also why they dont drive anything that has to do with ram. My father had one and it had nothing but problems so he also said he will never get another one.
The look of it looks reliable but is the engine really reliable. I believe the mechanics and my father.
Reliability means more than nice looks.
Just say you’re broke
Nice catch with the dual exhaust setup for the F150 Black Appearance package. Ford also offers it in the Tremor, Raptor(of course), and I think the Limited Edition. I have a 2023 XLT with the Black package; full leather also. It's great, but I gotta admit, RAM makes a beautiful truck. I also love the Hemi rumble. You can also get sport/dual exhaust in the Black package with the Ecoboost. That's what I have(3.5). I know it's a V6, but it actually has a really aggressive growl to it that's not piped in like in higher trims. More like a European boosted sports car instead of a big American V8. I was actually surprised at how good it sounds at startup and acceleration.
Thanks for the review! Q: Is it possible to get massage seats in the 2023 RAM 1500?
No, I don’t believe so. Which is a HUGE miss by Ram IMO. But it doesn’t matter really bc Ford has removed massaging seats from their Platinum and Limited trims due to the “chip shortage”. But eventually I definitely think Ram NEEDS to add massaging seats
Great review covering everything ! Thank you
Excellent video… very thorough…!
Nice, will look into getting one.
If you get the Ram Box on the bed, there will not be a canopy that will fit. Checked most makers of canopies and can up empty. If you know of one, please reply. Great video thanks!
Thank you for all the support recently Martin! I greatly appreciate you watching and commenting. Are you looking for the textile canopy or the fiberglass cap?
@@703Speed Does not really matter. Can be a steel canopy to. Just want to cover the bed with a canopy for winter weather here in Northern California. Thanks for asking. Appreciated!
Nice video , in NZ we drive on the other side of the road . It would take a bit of concentration to drive there for us visiting
Outstand review, one of the best i have seen of the 2023 Limited
Thank you!
Limited Rams lower year models had real wood on steering wheel and throughout cabin. i see that FCA screwed up a few things in their equipment groups
Honestly I‘m happy that they removed the wood, just didn’t really look good with the truck.
The exterior is incredible
Incredible 🤣not that great
Still my favorite ram trucks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She’s a beauty. I still prefer the GMC Sierra & their vertical 13.4 infotainment screen. My eyes read better left to right, not up & down.
Yeah, I can understand that. GM really stepped up their interior game
I think you mean Horizontal??
Yeah it’s not vertical 😂
@@casmithc2 american education system, dont expect too much
Great reviews! You would get more likes if they were shorter. You might consider splitting your reviews into segments.
Thank you! I’ve though about shortening them, but it seems like people like the longer stuff. At least from what Ive seen
@@703Speed I’m good with 15-20 range but this is my first time watching your channel.
@703Speed I would give him like no matter what he does a gteat job
Great review and I will try to afford this truck.
Great Job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great demonstration..thank you.😊
Thanks for watching!
As you were driving, what are the blinking lights on the sides of the intrument panel?
That's just due to the frame rate of the camera.. It doesn't do that in person
Erica Ramsey is the GOAT
She is awesome!
I want to buy it , and need help to trade my Ram 1500 2019.
Like it! Ordered one...
The rear brake lights are weird with the dull center lense.
It looked like a flashing light on either side of the cluster group. If so, that could be distracting.
Can you explain to me one thing, what is this light on the cluster that blinks all the time? I saw this on many UA-cam videos and I just wander
That is just the refresh rate of the camera picking that up. It doesn't do that in person
@@703Speed great thanks
Wrong - I do expect to go off road and I have a nice little marsh near my 20 degree back yard hill. I don't want to spend the $$ for a TRX or take the mpg hit. But after street tires wear out I'm getting AT or more off road tires.
Beautiful truck!
It seems like ram went cheap on door handles. It used to be chrome so I don't why they changed it
Maybe more people prefer the look of this
Painted are way better than chrome
How about showing us a 2023 TRX with the new digital dash?? It would get a lot of views!
Let me see what I can do
Did a vid with a 23 TRX yesterday bc of this comment.. If anyone else has any requests, leave them below
I’m trying to hold out until the new hurricanes come out!! If the HO comes in the TRX and Limited hands down trading in my ‘21 😂
Just drove the new Hornet the other day with the Hurricane engine - I gotta say it was pretty darn peppy
@@703Speed nice we just got our ‘23 Wagoneer with the Hurricane and bruh!!! That thing is QUICK puts my truck in the rear view mirror!
Yeah that's smart get the 1st yr of a new motor🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡
Surprised there’s no adaptive cruise
This 5.7 hemi does it take high test fuel.
Regular is ok, mid-grade recommended
You must be a Chris Fix fan! Lol
What makes you say that?
Dude people understand how power windows work duh
Lol
Hello. Do you have interest in testing our Ram 1500 product? If so, please reply to me.
What sucks is that I really don’t want the H/K sound system, but in order to have safety features, I’m bullied into getting that system
(Since people apparently can’t read the comments and call me “cheap” or “lazy” because I don’t want this system, let me make it _ABUNDANTLY_ clear that I was planning to REPLACE the Alpine speakers with far better ones from someone like Focal)
What a cheap comment: (most truk guys are not audiophiles) HOWEVER; the RAM - Harmon Kardon beats the Ford system any day of the week, although Alpine is pretty good. The thundra has the cheap sony/lg one i believe.
@@dol3980 I don’t know how me not wanting the H/K system is cheap. It’s preference and I’d rather have the Alpine system so I can mod it easier. Also means I don’t have to unplug/disable all the roof speakers and whatnot
@@feraltrafficcone4483 I do not want to get into my personal preference or audio engineering design bio. Why the hell do 80 + % of Eng ineers of all stripes buy the RAM 1500 Limited?? I can respect U r an audiophile but I will let RAM Engineers decide the placement and bass/treble parameters and gain functions for my speakers including when the moonroof is sheltered or not. It took me 6 years of STEM U to become a nuclear physicist and I still struggle with the basics of audio engineering but can solve gamma radiation patterns.
@@dol3980 yeah that’s neat and all, really, it is, but I genuinely do not care. It’s just personal preference, saves me some time and effort later on, and the little nubs do be kind of annoying and a bit of an eyesore, but that’s just me
Love the HK system it’s not made for all music though but using the xm hd Chanel country music
Nice looking truck too bad that 5.7 Hemi is such a slow doggy motor for a mid to bigger size V8.
You need a TRX for more power! Lol
This has ALWAYS BEEN MY ISSUE WITH THE DODGE RAM 1500 !! IT JUST DOESNT HAVE THE POWER THAT THE 6.2L and the amazing 10speed …! If you’ve ever felt how the Denali acceleration and how it shifts…then you’d laugh at ALL THE OTHERS… that’s NO EXAGGERATION…😊
My rebel gt begs to differ
@@Nelsonwilly67 What type of super charger did you go with ?
Yep. I always see guys with 6.2's feeling all that acceleration as I pull away from them in my Ecoboost.

I would be willing to bet the payload on that truck is nowhere’s near 1800 pounds. Likely closer to 1100.
Woooooow
I watched the entire video 😊 initially I was gonna rip you a new one over your extreme biases..! But again… I watched the entire video and towards the end you redeemed yourself and admitted that you may be biased😊.

Hahaha
So the chevy doesn't sound starting up🤔🤡
Not much.. I mean a little sound, yes
RAM just for me dropped into the dumpster. Putting tomtom as the nav software, and ramcare/uconnect doing NOTHING to get rid of them!!! Angry? You bet I am. If you expect the 2023 NAV with tomtom to work- take this warning and flat leave the RAM dealer. The dealer can't fix the problems, uconnect nor ram care will. They say there will be an update- and they have no idea what they're talking aboit as an update does not come. And I read in mu package the update for tomtom lasts 3 months after you buy. RUN AWAY before you buy a worthless NAV system. My 2017 and 2018 RAMs NAV were great.
Wow, sorry you’re having so many difficulties with the TomTom navigation software. I’ve been blessed so far and haven’t had any problems since purchasing my 2024 Limited with the level one & 27M packages. The nav has performed well even provided an alternate route around a wreck on the interstate near Georgia. I pray it works out for you. Regards
So expensive and no 360 camera
Definitely wish that that was standard on the Limited!
Hate the blacked out crap!
Then you wouldn’t like the night edition
HDMI ports 😂😂
Lol
no the ram 1500 was never the best truck... consumer reports and car and driver can be bought. Just look at trucks on the road how many older ram are still on the road compared to ford
Air suspension not good
Why?
@@rickvann3489
I got a limited once’s you put weigh on the payload air suspension light 💡 turn on i put 10 cases of water light turn. I took it to the dealership and they told me i cant put no more than 700 lbs. I was really i told them it was bs. A month ago one of my air bag went out and they didnt want to replace because it was something i did by putting to much weight. Iam thinking to trade it in
10 cases of water made the light come on?? What kind of cases of water were they??
When was ram ever the king of Half ton trucks? They have a nice interior so what
With the interior, air ride, 5.7 V8 you can actually hear stock, optional 6.2 hellcat engine w/trx, different front fascia & headlights w/limited longhorn, limited, and trx models, etc. don’t get me wrong I like Chevy, Ford, and GMC, but they didn’t step up their trucks until after 2019 when Ram updated their 1500’s
Bro, just drive your silly truck and stfu.
A$$ hol: Ford has just announced their 60th recall on 150s and laid off 15,000 in Dearborn becuz they cannot produce a quality product and U knock RAM LOL..
@dol3980 I knock Ford too. lol.
Ram always been up there on the throne 💪 don't tell me, you love toyota 😅
Heres the list
1 - Ram
2- Ford
3- toyota
4- chevy
5- GMC
The new toyota and chevy premium lines are definitely stepping it up and now theres a fight for the top 😅 Trx > Raptor > TRD > highland
70 SOMETHING THOUSAND DOLLARS TRUCK AND NO ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL? NO THANKS!
Limited Level 1 Group has it.
Really???
That boxes are good for my Tecates Original and a lot of ice
Haha - there ya go!
Not a king no more. In the near future yes
Air ride sucks, will fail, it's almost killed me in the winter time.
How??
@@703Speed It failed, when it goes you have 0 shocks at all, you hit a bump and you truck is gone.
