The new 2023 RAM 1500 is among the most refined trucks in its competition, with interior and exterior features that stand out. The 2023 RAM 1500 bears a new instrument cluster, various styling updates, and a change in the powertrain to make the vehicle more powerful and efficient. Stone Motors LLC in Middlebury, VT is pleased to bring you up to speed with amendments made to the RAM 1500, what to expect and how to find one at our local Middlebury, VT Ram dealership.

Performance

Stellantis, the parent company of RAM, is discontinuing the 3.6-L V6 Pentastar that used to be the base engine of the RAM 1500 in favor of a 3.0-L I-6 engine called the Hurricane. The Hurricane features a standard powertrain generating 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque. The engine has a twin-turbo variant that produces 510 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. This new development aligns with Stellantis' pledge to reduce its carbon footprint.

The higher trims have the up-charged HEMI V8 engines for greater power and torque. The powertrains include a 5.7-L HEMI V8 with eTorque, pumping out 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. The supercharged 6.2-L HEMI V8 engine produces 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. The 2023 RAM 1500 has high durability and stiffness because 98% of its frame is high-strength steel. This solid foundation gives the vehicle the ultimate strength to tow heavy loads efficiently.

Technology

The RAM 1500 comes with a 12-inch frameless TFT cluster, which marks the first time RAM has installed a digital instrument cluster. This digital cluster features various menus for the user to select, including adaptive cruise control, among other driver-assist technologies. The vehicle has night vision, a speed limit display, and a detector for a drowsy driver. The full-screen navigation system helps the driver to commute from Burlington, VT to South Burlington, VT with ease.

The display is in full color for a glance at the data, and the driver can choose between the manual and digital instrumentation. The Uconnect 5 has memory settings to save the user profile of each driver for a smoother and faster transition when a new driver is on duty.

Interior and Exterior Features

When you visit Stone Motors LLC, you will realize that the new 2023 RAM 1500 has various updated features, including the bumper design and the grille. This model has subtle body lines and increased chrome, making it appear more premium. The RAM 1500 has a luxurious cabin with high-quality materials, sturdy materials, and a good mix of analog and digital controls on the dashboard. The seats are primarily comfortable because of the high-end cushions and fabric used.

Trim Level

The 2023 RAM 1500 has eight trim levels and 33 configurations. The lower trims include the Tradesman, three engine variants, and the eight-speed automatic transmission, sending power to either RWD or 4WD.
