Used 2023 RAM 2500 for Sale nearKelowna, BC

How much does the 2023 RAM 2500 cost?

Prices have softened 14.43% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 428 listings available, which suggests a reasonable amount of inventory for you to compare.

Is the 2023 RAM 2500 a good car?

Generally — the 2023 RAM 2500 earns a 4.2/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating, which points to a truck that lands well with both owners and testers. The standout strength is Performance at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its power, comfort, towing usefulness, and utility-focused features, and they also like the technology and luxury touches. The main trade-offs are reliability concerns, especially around the transmission, along with some minor aesthetic complaints.

That fits the truck’s role well: it is aimed at buyers who want heavy-duty capability without giving up a more accommodating cabin and a more polished feel than many rivals. Good and great deals account for 32.2% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 RAM 2500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.2/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a truck that many people find dependable for power, comfort, towing, and utility, with several noting that it meets their needs well. The same feedback also flags reliability concerns, particularly with the transmission, so you should pay close attention to service history and how the truck has been used.

The expert road test also describes the truck as surprisingly smooth, unexpectedly docile, and remarkably refined, which supports the idea that it can be a confident long-term companion when maintained properly. For used buyers, the biggest ownership risk is that heavy-duty use and diesel complexity can make neglected examples more expensive to live with.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 RAM 2500?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The trim walk includes Tradesman, Big Horn, Rebel, Power Wagon, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited. The Rebel adds a more aggressive look with a Rebel-specific grille, 20-inch wheels, and a crew-cab body with a 6-foot, 4-inch cargo bed, while the Power Wagon is described as a purpose-built off-road tool that is not easy to live with every day.
• Powertrain: You get a standard 6.4-litre V8, and the Rebel also offers a 6.7-litre Cummins turbodiesel inline-six. The V8 is the better choice if you want the truck’s maximum towing and payload capability, while the diesel brings stronger torque and better fuel economy in testing, but at a much higher price.
• Safety package: The available driver-assistance suite includes automatic high-beam headlights, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking including for trailer brakes, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. Our test truck had them all, so check carefully for feature coverage on the specific trim you are considering.
• Infotainment: The truck uses a next-generation Uconnect 5 system with a 12-inch touchscreen in portrait orientation. It includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L satellite radio, and navigation, and the system also supports a 12-inch digital instrumentation panel with gauge and menu tile display configurations.
• Fuel efficiency: The test truck’s Cummins diesel returned 12.3 L/100 km on mostly highway driving, 14.6 L/100 km on mountain roads, and 16.0 L/100 km off-road. By comparison, the 6.4-litre V8 was observed at 22.8 L/100 km under the same route and conditions.

Which 2023 RAM 2500 trim should I buy?

The 2023 RAM 2500 is offered in 7 trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn, Rebel, Power Wagon, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited.

Here's the short version:

• Tradesman: This is the work-focused starting point, so it makes sense if you want the core heavy-duty capability without paying for the more upscale or specialised equipment found higher up the range.
• Big Horn: This is the sensible step-up choice if you want a broader mix of everyday usability and equipment without jumping straight into the more expensive luxury or off-road trims.
• Rebel: This is the best-value trim if you want the strongest blend of off-road hardware, comfort, and modern tech. It adds the aggressive look, the available Cummins turbodiesel, the 12-inch digital instrumentation panel, and trailering and camera upgrades.
• Power Wagon: This is the most specialised off-road model in the lineup, but the test notes make clear that it is less easy to live with day to day than the Rebel.
• Laramie: This is the trim to consider if you want a more upscale cabin and a stronger luxury lean while staying within the heavy-duty lineup.
• Limited Longhorn: This suits you if you want a more premium, distinctive feel and are willing to pay for it.
• Limited: This is the top-end choice if you want the most upscale version of the truck.

The available safety and driver-assistance equipment is broad, but you should confirm which systems are included on the exact trim and package combination you are shopping.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 RAM 2500?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 428 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.43% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $68,389 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 RAM 2500's resale value?

The current average of $68,861 CAD sits slightly below last year's $80,475 CAD.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at the right price and keep the truck in strong condition, you may be better positioned than someone who paid closer to last year’s average. The key for future resale will be choosing a well-equipped example with clean history and avoiding trucks that show signs of hard use or deferred maintenance.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.2/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 RAM 2500 safe?

The 2023 RAM 2500 does not have crash-test ratings listed here.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Ram offers a broad ADAS suite on this truck, including automatic high-beam headlights, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking including for trailer brakes, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. Our test truck had them all, which is a strong sign if you want a heavy-duty pickup with modern driver assistance.

The main caveat is that the truck’s crash-test performance is not documented here, so you should lean more heavily on the available safety equipment and the condition of the specific used example you are considering.

Should I buy a 2023 RAM 2500 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:

• 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.43% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.2/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model year adds useful heavy-duty updates such as the 12-inch digital instrumentation panel, blind-spot cameras, and Trailer Reverse Steering Control.

The bottom line: If you want a used RAM 2500 with strong capability, modern trailering tech, and a market that has already softened, the 2023 is the one to target. If you are especially price-sensitive, you can still shop nearby years, but the 2023 gives you a good balance of updated equipment and improving value.
