The 2023 RAM 1500 is a capable and powerful pickup truck that consistently impresses drivers with its performance features. It is designed to perform well on and off the road, and it offers a variety of performance enhancements to suit different driving styles and needs.
The Ram truck offers two powerful engine options: a 5.7L HEMI V8 and a 3.6L Pentastar V6. Both engines pair with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. The V6 puts out 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, while the larger V8 delivers an impressive 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. When properly equipped the V8 engine can tow up to 10,620 pounds.
The 1500 also boasts a five-link coil rear suspension. This suspension uses five links to connect the axle to the body, which provides more control over the movement of the axle. This results in a smoother ride and improved handling, especially when driving over rough terrain.
