Used 2023 RAM 1500 for Sale nearAbbotsford, BC

How much does the 2023 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 9.52% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,385 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory for you to compare.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2023 RAM 1500 earns a 4.7/5 user rating and a 7.2/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Owners consistently praise the upscale interior, comfortable ride, and solid performance, and many also like its stylish design and good fuel economy for its size. The truck’s polished cabin and car-like feel make it especially appealing if you want a full-size pickup that feels more refined than purely utilitarian.

The trade-offs are clear: advanced safety features are not standard, and the competition offers more technology. That makes it a stronger fit if you value comfort, refinement, and a premium-feeling interior more than the newest feature list.

There are 33.9% good and great deals in the market, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a truck that feels dependable in daily use, with praise for its comfortable ride, solid performance, and upscale interior. The review summary also highlights good fuel economy for a vehicle of this size, which can matter if you plan to keep it for the long haul.

The expert review reinforces that sense of durability through its smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic and well-sorted powertrain behaviour. The truck’s five-year/100,000-kilometre powertrain warranty also adds some ownership reassurance.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic dependability and more about whether you can live with the missing standard safety equipment and feature gaps.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 RAM 1500?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The trim walk runs from Tradesman to TRX, with the Limited sitting near the top and adding a more upscale cabin with leather, open-pore wood, metallic trim, and a 12-inch portrait-oriented screen. Lower trims are more basic, so you should check whether the features you want are standard or only available higher up the range.
• Powertrain: You can choose rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with a standard 3.6-litre V6 on lower trims, an optional 5.7-litre Hemi V8 on lower trims and standard on upper trims, and a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel available on most trims. The V8 brings strong passing power, while the eTorque system improves fuel economy and adds low-speed torque.
• Safety package: The Ram 1500 does not come with standard advanced driver-assist systems, and even forward collision warning is not standard. Blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning are optional or bundled, so you should confirm exactly what is fitted on the truck you are considering.
• Infotainment: Lower trims get a 5-inch screen, mid trims use an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and upper trims can have a portrait-oriented 12-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and some trucks can also have a head-up display, digital rearview mirror, and surround-view camera system.
• Fuel efficiency: The most fuel-efficient setup is the 3.0-litre turbo diesel at 11.1 L/100 km city, 8.0 highway, and 9.7 combined. The V8 4WD eTorque model is rated at 13.5 L/100 km city, 10.5 highway, and 12.1 combined, while our test truck returned 13.0 L/100 km.

Which 2023 RAM 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2023 RAM 1500 is offered in 8 trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn, Sport, Rebel, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, Limited, and TRX.

Here's the short version:

• Tradesman: This is the least expensive path into the range, but it is also the most basic. It makes sense if you want the Ram’s core capability and are willing to give up the upscale cabin touches and higher-end tech found farther up the line.
• Big Horn: This is a sensible step up if you want a better balance of equipment and value than the Tradesman. It should suit you if you want a more comfortable daily driver without chasing luxury-trim pricing.
• Sport: Choose this if you want a more distinctive appearance and a stronger feature set than the entry trims. It sits in the middle of the range and should appeal if you want a nicer-feeling truck without going all the way to the premium models.
• Rebel: This is the trim to consider if you want the more rugged character in the lineup. The content points to off-road-oriented hardware and a more adventurous setup, so it suits buyers who want a tougher-looking truck with added capability.
• Laramie: This is a strong middle-to-upper choice if you want a more premium interior and a better overall balance of comfort and equipment. It is a good fit if you care about refinement but do not need the top-end luxury touches.
• Limited Longhorn: This trim is for you if you want a more upscale, distinctive cabin with a premium feel. It sits close to the top of the range and is aimed at buyers who value comfort and presentation.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim if you want the Ram’s most convincing luxury feel without jumping to the extreme pricing of the TRX. It brings the leather, wood trim, and 12-inch screen that make the cabin feel especially special.
• TRX: This is the performance-focused halo model, with the most extreme powertrain and the most aggressive character in the lineup. It is the right pick only if you want the wildest version of the truck and are prepared for its very high running costs.

Advanced driver-assist features are not standard, so make sure you verify which safety package is included on any used example.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 RAM 1500?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,385 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.52% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $41,040 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 RAM 1500's resale value?

The current average of $41,073 CAD sits slightly below last year's $45,393 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become more favourable for buyers, which can make future resale a little more competitive for you as an owner. If prices stay near this level, you may not see the same upside that a tighter market would support.

Even so, the RAM 1500’s strong owner satisfaction and premium-feeling cabin should help it remain appealing to used shoppers. Trucks with broad appeal and a comfortable reputation tend to hold attention better than more ordinary alternatives.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 safe?

The Ram 1500 earns five-star ratings from NHTSA overall, and the IIHS gives it Good marks across the board except for Marginal grades for seat belt reminders and LATCH ease of use.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

The Ram 1500 falters a bit on standard advanced driver-assist systems. Nothing is standard across the board, not even forward collision warning. Other features like blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning are all either optional or part of a package.

If you do add blind-spot monitoring, it can cover the length of any trailer you might be dragging behind you. That is a useful feature if you plan to tow regularly.

The main caveat is that safety equipment is trim-dependent, so you should not assume a used truck has the driver aids you want.

Should I buy a 2023 RAM 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.52% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model year adds a new available reconfigurable 12-inch gauge cluster and keeps the Ram’s refined, comfort-first character.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $39,995 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $41,073 CAD average.
• It is a polished, comfort-focused full-size truck with strong owner praise.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year advantages and are shopping for a well-liked, comfort-oriented full-size truck, the 2023 is the better target. If your priority is saving money and you still want the Ram’s core strengths, the 2022 is the more price-sensitive path.
