The new 2023 Ram 3500 HD is a class-leading truck that will get some refreshments for the next year. According to the latest reports, the manufacturer will make this truck more robust, keeping the same proportions. We also expect some changes inside as well, including a more modern cabin and lots of new technology.
Like before, the Ram HD will continue to be available with either a gas-powered 6.4-liter Hemi V8 or a Cummins 6.7-liter turbo-diesel inline-6. The standard V8 produces great output, but the Cummins is a worthwhile upgrade. This unit can produce 420 horsepower, and 1,075 lb.-ft torque. Thanks to this engine, the Ram 3500 HD offers class-leading towing capacity of 37,100 pounds.
2023 Ram 3500 HD Redesign
The 2023 Ram 3500 HD is a muscular American pickup truck that will receive some refreshments. For the next year, this truck will include a more massive grille and more curves through the body. Size-wise, this truck is right in line with rivals like Ford Super Duty and GM Sierra HD. However, compared to the mentioned rivals, Ram is the only one that offers the massive Mega Cab option. Likewise, the exterior look can be changed quite dramatically depending on the trim level.
If you go for the most expensive Limited model, you will get a special grille and unique 2-tone paint options. On the other hand, Power Wagon as one of the most favorite options has a rugged off-road appearance similar to the Ram 1500 Rebel.
Interior Design and Cab Options
The interior of the new 2023 Ram 3500 HD is spacious and functional. Like before, this truck is available with a few cab options. It comes with a Regular Cab, a Crew Cab with roomy back seats, and a massive Mega Cab that offers 43 inches of rear legroom.
Depending on the trim level, the interior of the Ram HD will change drastically depending on the trim. The base Tradesman model still comes with a comfortable but practical interior. However, more features are added on the upper models. For example, the luxurious version, Limited, comes standard with a 12-inch infotainment system, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and a 360-degree camera. You can also get a few various appearance packages and option packages throughout the model range. One of the favorite options is Trailer 360, which includes four cameras that make it much easier to see around your trailer.
2023 Ram 3500 HD Engine Specs
Like before, the Ram HD will be available with either a gas-powered 6.4-liter Hemi V8 or a Cummins 6.7-liter turbo-diesel inline-6. The base model that uses the V8 engine produces 410 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft of torque. This unit is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
However, there are two output options choosing the 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel inline-6 unit. The first one delivers 370 horsepower and 850 lb.-ft of torque, while the other one 420 horsepower and 1,075 lb.-ft of torque. When adequately equipped, the Ram 3500 HD with this engine offers a class-leading towing of up to 37,100 pounds.
Release Date, Price
The debut of the 2023 Ram 3500 HD will probably happen next year. Considering some upgrades, price will probably slightly increase. The current Ram HD starts at $35,690 for the 2500 Regular Cab Tradesman RWD model, while Mega Cab costs $48,615. The bigger Ram 3500 Regular Cab starts at $37,140, while Crew Cab is $40,595. If you need more room, the 3500 Mega Cab is an ideal choice that begins at $49,965.
The pricing can get pretty high if you choose to go for the Limited 3500 Mega Cab with the high-output Cummins turbo-diesel. This model can easily pass the price of $80,000. Overall, as you can see, the pricing of the 2023 Ram HD is similar to the Ford Super Duty and Chevrolet Silverado HD models.
