2023 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn SouthFork Edition

[SouthFork-Edition]

Have had this truck for 3 months and absolutely love it. It has almost every conceivable option one could get including a huge sunroof, automatic side foot rails, HUD, an auto park feature, 19 speaker Harmon Karden stereo system and also heat and cool front and rear seats. The bed has a factory spray on bed liner and My wife and I camp quite a bit here in Northern Arizona and this truck is perfect for that. Already have a quality air mattress thats fit for the truck bed and a nice thick sleeping bag underneath, along with 2 nice 0 degree sleeping bags and a 12 volt diesel heater if needed. No snow yet to use the 4WD but hopefully before Winter is over. So here are a few pics of my first ever Dodge. Take care..

Nice truck. I have a ‘22 Longhorn I ordered taking delivery about 5 months later. Just looking at your pictures, I noticed there is no Longhorn badge behind the R A M. Did you remove them?

 

[PolarisCobra]

Nice color. I never heard of a Southfork Edition, they may not sell them in the Northeast. Interior is very classy.

 

[SouthFork-Edition]

To 542Bob no sir I didnt remove them. I didnt know if there was a badge there or not. Thanks for the info.

PolarisCobra I had never heard of it either. My wife actually bought the truck for me and I had not one dime in it and man even after almost 30 years together she can still surprise me. All I know was that when I first got in it I said to myself holy **** this is nice. The back is full of camping equipment and maybe this weekend I will get a few pics. Also has an optional 33 gallon fuel tank which will come in handy when my wife and I go to Desoto Tx to visit our daughter and her family then we all head to Galveston Island for a week and a half for vacation. That extra fuel capacity comes in handy if you dont need to stop for fuel and wife doesnt need to use the restroom just keep on running.

I have never had a HEMI before and all I can say is WOW. The stock 395 horsepower really carries the mail with ease. Had 2 friends at work tell me to get a K&N air filter system but I said nah im good at stock. I have heard and read a lot of good things about K&N if your looking for a bit of xtra performance, but im just looking at a few interior and exterior accessories starting with a brush guard for extra protection against any large animal that gets in the path. Also a hood deflector, window rain guards and 4 precut window tints at 5%.. When we might go to Phoenix for a day or 2 in the summer for something its hot as hell and with the window tint that dark might help to keep it cooler easier.

Southfork-E, I recommend WeatherTech in-channel visors. I’ve had mine since I bought this truck now.
Plus a couple of pics, one showing the badge & the other my original window sticker

Had the same truck in silver, traded it because the gas mileage was not great . Inside was nice, those floor mats cost almost 900 hundred from the dealer that came with it, I used weather tec and kept the new ones in a bag.

 

[SouthFork-Edition]

542 Bob I will find the window sticker as I done recall seeing anything about a badge on it. There was no badge on there when I bought it either so now my interest has peaked. Will post a pic of the original sticker when I find it with some other info. Thanks again.

MadTrucker $900 WOW. I like the mats that are with it I went up to the truck and got a pic of the mats. Im assuming these are original mats with the truck? They are ok but im going to get another set with colors I like pretty soon.

 

[SouthFork-Edition]

MadTruck we also have a 2021 Camry XLE and not only do I feel like im setting on the ground when I drive it now but man oh man I do miss that Camry gas mileage compared to the truck but I knew it would be quite the difference when we got it...

Yep, those are the mats. I kept them in plastic and brought weather tec mats gave both with the truck when I traded it in.

 

[madtrucker2016]

That truck, I was getting 12 miles per gallon. The dealer gave some bullcrap about different parameters for the bad mileage. I said it is an eTorque Hemi that is for saving gas. But they wouldn't do anything about it. So ended up trading it in and got a 2025 Laramie Night Edition. Now I get like 19 MPG in the city.

 

[SouthFork-Edition]

Im getting about 16.5 here in the city but not a lot of stop and go. I am looking at getting new floor mats I see advertised called CarSilks they look absolutely beautiful. We are going to Galveston Island in May and taking the truck. There is a huge plant store with vases big and small in New Mexico right off I40 and she said now she can bring plants back home I said ok. Will see what type mileage we get on the long stretches.

 

[BILL JAMISON]

I have a '23 Longhorn Limited and just love it!!! Every option you can imagine, Diamond Black Crystal Pearlcoat...an absolutely beautiful truck! The only downside was the MSRP of $84,379.

 

[SouthFork-Edition]

Bill Jamison mine is a Limited Longhorn but a SouthFork edition. By far the best vehicle I have ever had and at almost 400 horsepower man these trucks will carry the mail.

I have the same model in White 2024 with a split tailgate for the wife.
Best MPG so far at 65MPH is 25 (3.21 ring/pinion).
Love the 33 gallon gas tank … we drive 20mins to another town to get 40 cents per gallon cheaper gas.

Best truck I have ever owned!

Nice ride.
Driving 40 minutes to save 5 or 6 bucks sounds odd to me, but to each their own. Guess at least it's another chance to drive the truck!

 

[Old Mopar Guy]

We make a trip out of it…. groceries and wife’s shopping. It works out best for both of us. Bigger city too!
We end up saving $10-$12 in gas per trip. It all adds up.
