Additionally, if you need to tow or haul, the Ram 1500 is up for any challenge. Outfitted with a diesel or V8 engine, these pickups can pull over 11,000 pounds. Mopar Insiders shares even more impressive metrics claiming most Ram 1500s will hit a towing capacity of 12,750 pounds with a 2,300-pound payload.

Inside the 2023 Ram 1500 are luxury interior components, a Uconnect 5 system, and an Alexa-integrated 12-inch touchscreen.

What’s included with the (RAM)RED Edition?

The 2023 Ram 1500 (RAM)RED Edition is back for its second year for the 2023 model year.

New for 2023, the (RAM)RED Edition also offers a UV-C glove box light feature, engaged with the touch of a button. Once engaged, a UV light will begin a three-minute hygiene cycle that kills any unwanted bacteria.
