2023 Ram 1500 | Family Pickup Review

After being an F-150aholic since 1986 I ordered a '22 Ram 1500 Laramie 3/5.7L Hemi last year. At 5K miles in I still can't believe how comfortable, quiet, and how well the truck drives. Zero problems so far, and it gets respectible mpgs in town and on the highway. We like it so much, instead of taking the wife's car, we're taking the Ram to the Badlands in May. Yes, it's that impressive. BTW, if you want you can push the "minus" on the gear limit switch, and then push the "plus" up to 8th gear, the engine will not drop to 4 cylinder mode while cruising.

I have always liked your solo reviews, and your family interaction adds so much more. I have had my Ram Limited since new in 2020. It is the best ever. I also tow a 6,000 lbs travel trailer and it never let's me down. Shame the gas mileage is still poor.

Happy Sunday all ☕️

I own a new model loaded RAM 1500 Laramie - bought new now with 80k miles and it’s been flawless. I love it in the city and I love it in the back country on rough roads throughout New England.

Excellent review as always

I have had a Ram for a while now. I have driven all the competitors and I keep coming back to Ram. They make a killer truck, especially for my 6’2” 350 lbs frame.

I test drove a ram pick up yesterday and I’m going back today to purchase it. Most comfortable pick up I have ever driven. With all the recalls and everything that Ford goes through constantly I think it’s a better decision than the Ford.

I’m a simple guy and just needed a simple work truck so I got myself the Ram 1500 Classic Tradesman extended cab with 2wd and the Hemi. $32k at the time in 2020, and finished paying it off last November. $80k for a 1/2 ton family hauler is too much.

Wow, this is really a cool review. Great job!

Funny and very engaging review:)! Thank you!

Love your reviews hope you guys do Ram 1500 vs F-150

Beautiful looking truck. That color with the blackout package!!

Micah, the rear seats also recline. How did you miss it? I pulled a fully loaded max tow weight 30' trailer from Bakersfiekd Ca to Soldotna Alasaka, and the Ram was amazing.

As commuter, as well as casual outdoorsman and occasional Home Depot shopper, I’m finding it increasingly hard to justify paying 60k and up for a truck. Add to that the poor mileage and I just can’t seem to bring myself to buy one. As much as I’d love to drive around in one I can’t get past the through of $100 per week at the pump and the price of those 22” tires

Excellent review!!

Good review. The only annoyance that all reviews seem to not mention are that the rear seats slide and recline. And that the entire center seat drops down. Both are massive positives vs. The competition.

Love there is a family review for trucks!!

I have this same truck in an older model and while I love it but just had a valve body malfunction and the part alone was over $2000.00 plus mechanic but other than scheduled maintenance it’s been a great truck and I’ve looked at newer models and there really not that different from what I own now so I’ll keep this till the wheels fall off!

The one thing I notice a lot of reviews forget about in the mid to high trim level rams. The rear seats recline.

Great review, but the title is misleading as this is a 2022. The 2023's have the digital gauge cluster and don't have the "wood" steering wheel.
