The Big Horn trim, also known as the Lone Star, features chrome exterior trim, power-adjustable and heated exterior tow mirrors, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The Laramie trim level is up next, and it features a soft-opening tailgate, power-sliding rear window, and power-folding chrome tow mirrors. Consider the Limited Longhorn trim level if you want LED headlights, LED cargo bed lighting, a spray-in bedliner, remote tailgate release, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and upscale exterior design details. The top-of-the-line Limited trim level is the most luxurious and features 20-inch wheels.

The entry-level engine option of the Ram 3500 is a 6.4-liter V-8 engine that can produce 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque.

If you choose the standard engine option of the 2023 Ram 3500, you get an eight-speed automatic transmission that is smooth and easy to use. On the other hand, if you opt for a diesel engine, you can enjoy the six-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is the basic setup for this heavy-duty pickup truck, but four-wheel drive is standard for the Limited Longhorn and Limited trims and optional for the other trims. The maximum towing capacity for this vehicle is 37,090 pounds and the maximum payload capacity is 7,680 pounds.

Drivers can choose between the crew cab and the mega cab when picking out a 2023 Ram 3500.

Meanwhile, the mega cab also comes with 40.9 inches of legroom for front-seat passengers, but those in the rear get an increased 43.1 inches of legroom. The entry-level Ram 3500 has a 5-inch touchscreen on the dash that works alongside Bluetooth connectivity. Higher trims add features like a 12-inch tablet-style infotainment display, Stellantis Uconnect 5, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay.

Safety is a must when you're behind the wheel of a vehicle as capable and powerful as the 2023 Ram 3500. That is why the vehicle is available with safety technologies that can provide peace of mind and an extra set of eyes. Adaptive cruise control allows drivers to operate the vehicle at a set speed that brakes and accelerates with the flow of traffic, while lane-keeping assistance helps drivers stay on their path. Forward collision warning, automatic braking, a surround-view camera system, and more also all come standard.
