The 2023 model year isn’t a time of change for the Ram trucks, but it is a time for upgrades. In an effort to offer more of what we want, the half-ton Ram 1500 models receive some tech upgrades that could be useful during your drive. Let’s take a look at how the Ram 1500 half-ton truck is improved for 2023.
The 2023 Ram 1500 receives an interesting new digital screen
Frameless Gauge Cluster 2023 Ram 1500 | Ram
Ram recently announced that all 2023 versions of the half-ton truck will offer an available 12-inch frameless digital instrument cluster. While we don’t know which trims will have access to this feature, this new screen is pretty cool.
The new frameless screen features nearly two dozen menus and five reconfigurable tiers to ensure you have the information you need during your drive. If this screen sounds familiar, that’s because Stellantis already features a similar screen in the new Jeep Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, and Grand Wagoneer models.

- Rear-Seat Reminder for all trims
- LED hitch lamp

A special edition Ram 1500 returns for the 2023 model year
Ram 1500 RED Edition | Ram
The Ram RED Edition returns for this new model year as an optional package for this truck’s Limited Crew Cab model. This package is available for half-ton trucks with either the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 or 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engines. As the name suggests, the RED Edition brings cosmetic changes to the truck. These upgrades include:
- A red R-A-M grille
- Special door badging
- A badge on the center console lid
This might not sound like much, but the main goal behind this special edition is to support the RED project. This project works to fight against health emergencies, and Ram, Jeep, and Fiat have pledged a minimum of $4 million to the project.
