Inventory Listing

Our customer, who recently purchased a vehicle from us, brought in this 2023 Ram 2500 Tradesman 4×4 as they no longer needed it for daily use. The truck spent most of its life in Texas before being transferred to Hawaii, where it was purchased by the current owner in 2025.  As shown on the Carfax, the bulk of the miles were accumulated by the original fleet/lease company during its time in Texas, with the personal owner adding only a modest number of miles while in Hawaii. This well-maintained, clean-history truck is now available for its next owner. 5-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty is still active.

The original window sticker lists an MSRP of $63,010, confirming it was well-equipped from the factory with the desirable Customer Preferred Package and other options. This truck is ideal for contractors, ranchers, or anyone needing serious towing and payload capacity. With its proven Cummins diesel power, low mileage, and spotless history, it’s ready to go straight to work.

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings

According to the original window sticker and NHTSA data for the 2023 Ram 2500:

• Overall Vehicle Score: ★★★★ (4 stars)
• Frontal Crash: ★★★★★ (5 stars)
• Side Crash: ★★★★★ (5 stars)
• Rollover: ★★★ (3 stars)

These ratings reflect the truck’s strong structural design, multiple airbags, electronic stability control, and available safety features. While heavy-duty trucks carry a higher rollover risk due to their size and weight, the Ram 2500 performs well in its class.

History of the Generation

The 2023 Ram 2500 belongs to the fifth-generation Ram Heavy Duty lineup, introduced for the 2019 model year and produced through 2024. This generation featured a completely redesigned high-strength steel frame, significantly improved ride quality, and a more refined interior compared to prior models. Production occurred at the Saltillo Truck Assembly Plant in Mexico. The fifth-gen trucks were engineered to deliver better on-road manners while maintaining class-leading capability, with the Cummins diesel remaining the cornerstone of the powertrain lineup. The 2023 model year included minor refinements to technology and comfort features while retaining the proven mechanical foundation.

Fuel Economy, Horsepower, Torque, and Tow Ratings

This Ram 2500 is powered by the legendary 6.7L Cummins inline-six turbo diesel engine, producing 370 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and an impressive 850 lb-ft of torque at 1,700 rpm. It is paired with a heavy-duty 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission and 4×4 drivetrain.

EPA-estimated fuel economy for the Crew Cab 4×4 configuration is approximately 15 mpg city / 20 mpg highway / 17 mpg combined. Real-world numbers typically range from 14–18 mpg unloaded and lower when towing or carrying heavy loads.

Maximum towing capacity reaches up to 19,980 pounds when properly equipped, with strong payload ratings as well. This makes the truck exceptionally capable for fifth-wheel towing, heavy equipment trailers, or commercial work where maximum torque and durability are essential.

Reliability of the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel

The 6.7L Cummins I6 Turbo Diesel is one of the most respected and durable heavy-duty diesel engines in the industry. Introduced in Ram trucks in 2007 and continuously refined over the years, it has earned a legendary reputation for longevity. With proper maintenance — including regular oil changes, fuel filter replacements, and timely service — these engines routinely exceed 300,000–500,000 miles in demanding work environments.

The 2023 version benefits from years of engineering improvements in emissions control, fuel efficiency, and overall refinement. Its robust cast-iron construction and strong bottom end make it a favorite among contractors, ranchers, and fleet operators who need a truck that can work hard day after day. This particular vehicle’s low mileage and documented service history further support its excellent long-term reliability outlook.

How It Stacked Up Against the Competition

In 2023, the Ram 2500 competed directly against the Ford F-250 Super Duty, Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, and GMC Sierra 2500HD. The Ram often stood out for its smoother ride quality, more upscale interior (even in the work-oriented Tradesman trim), and strong Cummins diesel performance.

While the Ford Super Duty frequently led in maximum towing ratings and had a dedicated following, many buyers preferred the Ram’s more car-like driving dynamics and quieter cabin. The Chevy and GMC twins offered solid capability and value but were generally viewed as less refined than the Ram. Overall, the Ram 2500 earned strong praise for balancing serious work-truck toughness with everyday comfort and modern features.
