Used 2023 RAM 1500 for Sale nearEdmonton, AB

How much does the 2023 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 11.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,067 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — with a 4.65/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating, you’re looking at a truck that clearly resonates with shoppers and testers alike. 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 refined cabin and strong road manners make it appealing if you want a full-size pickup that feels more premium than purely utilitarian. On the other hand, the expert review notes that advanced safety features are not standard and that the competition offers more technology.

That makes it a strong fit if you want a well-rounded truck with a comfortable, polished feel rather than the most feature-packed option in the segment. With 33.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.65/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a truck that feels dependable in daily use, with praise for its comfortable ride, solid performance, and upscale interior. It also highlights good fuel economy for its size, which can matter over the long haul if you plan to keep it for years. The expert review adds that the eight-speed automatic shifts smoothly and that the truck’s ride quality is one of its best traits, both of which support a sense of durability and ease of ownership.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that some features and safety aids may be missing unless the truck is equipped with the right packages.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lower trims are more basic, while the Limited brings a more upscale cabin with leather, open-pore wood, a portrait-oriented 12-inch screen, and a stealthier Night Edition appearance package on the review truck. If you want the most premium feel, the Limited stands out; if you want value, the lower trims will be simpler and less richly equipped.
• Powertrain: You can choose rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with a 3.6-litre V6 with eTorque on lower trims, a 5.7-litre Hemi V8 on upper trims, and a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel available on most trims. The V8 brings strong passing power, while the eTorque system adds smoother stop/start operation and extra low-speed torque.
• Safety package: The truck 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 check carefully for the equipment you want.
• Infotainment: Lower trims use a 5-inch screen, mid trims get an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and upper trims can have a 12-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and the available system can also support a reconfigurable 12-inch gauge cluster, head-up display, digital rearview mirror, and surround-view camera system.
• Fuel efficiency: The 3.0-litre turbo diesel is the most efficient engine mentioned, 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.

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 lineup, but it is also the most basic. It makes sense if you want the Ram 1500’s core capability and are willing to give up the richer cabin materials and more advanced tech found higher up.
• Big Horn: This is a sensible step up if you want a more balanced everyday truck without jumping too far in price. It should suit you if you want more comfort and convenience than the Tradesman, while still staying relatively accessible.
• Sport: Choose this if you want a more distinctive appearance and a stronger visual presence without moving into the luxury-focused trims. It sits in the middle of the range and should appeal if style matters to you.
• Rebel: This is the trim to consider if you want the most off-road-oriented character in the standard lineup. The content points to a 2.5-centimetre lift, skid plates, and hill-descent control, so it suits you if trail use matters more than luxury polish.
• Laramie: This is a strong middle-to-upper choice if you want a more premium-feeling cabin and better equipment without going all the way to the top. It should be a good fit if you want comfort and features to matter as much as capability.
• Limited Longhorn: This trim is for you if you want a more upscale, distinctive interior and a richer overall presentation. It sits near the top of the range and should appeal if you value style and materials.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim if you want the most luxurious feel and the strongest mix of comfort, materials, and tech. The review model’s leather, wood trim, 12-inch screen, and available equipment group make it the standout choice for shoppers who want a premium truck experience.
• TRX: This is the extreme performance and off-road model, with a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 and serious desert-running hardware. It is the right pick only if you want maximum performance and are prepared for its very high fuel use.

The safety content also notes that advanced driver-assist features are not standard, so you should verify which systems are included on any trim you’re considering.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,067 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.69% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $41,372 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 $42,211 CAD sits slightly below last year's $47,799 CAD.

That softer pricing can be good news if you’re buying now, but it also means future sellers may face a more competitive resale environment than owners did a year ago. If prices remain near the current average, depreciation pressure should be more manageable than it was when values were higher. The truck’s broad appeal, upscale cabin, and strong owner satisfaction should still help support demand when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.65/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 safe?

The 2023 Ram 1500 crew cab earns five-star ratings from NHTSA, while 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 truck’s safety story is mixed because advanced driver-assistance features are not standard. Forward collision warning is not standard, and blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning are optional or bundled in packages. If you tow, blind-spot monitoring can be especially useful because it can cover the length of a trailer.

IIHS also notes a trim-level caveat: Limited, Longhorn, and TRX headlights earn Good grades, while all other trims receive Marginal marks for headlights. That means you should pay close attention to the exact trim and equipment list if safety tech matters to you.

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:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.69% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.65/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 keeps the Ram 1500’s upscale cabin, smooth ride, and strong powertrain appeal intact.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $41,067 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $42,211 CAD average.
• It offers a polished blend of comfort, utility, and value.

The bottom line: If you want the better current-market balance of price, inventory, and owner satisfaction, the 2023 is the stronger all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2022 is the sensible alternative and still delivers much of the same comfort-focused Ram character.
