So if i already ordered my 23 before they announced new options am i getting new digital cluster or old one ? Or is it that no matter when i ordered it all 23 will be with digital?

Looks like all of the 23 TRXs will get the new digital cluster

Looks really nice! Well integrated, and sounds like it has a lot of flexibility and options for personal customization. Cool little tech add-on to compliment the HUD, imo.

Compared to other digital clusters out there it looks cheap and unpolished.
Trying to do "the next thing" RAM keeps pushing the TRX away from its character. The UC5 is a great example of making things worse and IMO looks horrible. I much rather stick with the original gauge clusters. An original ICE muscle truck being itself and not a transitioning electric bore fest to please the geeks

m guessing you’ve had issues with UConnect5, by your post. I’ve had both 4 and now 5, and have had zero issues with either. As it is with sagging springs, clunk in the drivetrain, it’s all random. I’ve had zero issues whatsoever with my truck, I think the digital dash is a nice new feature. To some it may have bugs, to some it may work flawlessly. Don’t take you heartache out on previous issues on new features.

Here’s some more photos of the digital cluster from the Ram website.

23 ordered people love it and most 22 and back do not... hmmmm
Cluster envy?

I like the upgrades, just not enough to trade my paid for 2021 in on a 2023 that optioned the same way is $10,000 more.

Now if a Redeye TRX comes out I reserve the right to try to change my wife’s mind…

Seeing as I’m still waiting for my 22, I’m tempted to order a 23 just because I’ve waited this long and it’s the first “new” vehicle I am buying since like 2010. In my mind if I get my 2022 in 2023 I’ll feel some kind of way. I’m pretty sure my dealer will let me order without a deposit, if that’s the case I’ll order a 23 tomorrow. I like the gauge cluster.

Ordered a 22, if it weren't for the wait I'd totally order a 23 for the cluster. Nav in the cluster is a game changer

I really really didn't want to order a new truck, but that dash is amazing, wonder what kind of equity I have in my truck, lol. Infotainment should have that dash in a year. I can wait if I need too.

I missed the 22 window by 2 weeks with assumption there wasn't any changes in 23. Was able to place order the 23rd of August for 23.

Yawn...I won't be getting excited till they offer a Redeye TRX, then all I will be saying is please take my damm money!!!

Is the digital dash confirmed across all TRX trims? I can’t find an answer. I wish they would add night vision.

I agree with you, my post was ironic being its all a matter of taste.
I've only owned the UC4 but know of someone with a nightmarish UC5 along with reading tons of threads here. Also agree its a hit or miss as many has had unrelated, different issues while I've had zero so far with my '21.

Dodge is running a "last call" for the challenger in '23 with limited unique trims while RAM will slapp a Wagoneer dash on all of its trucks and make the TRX watered down

Not at all, It is another WOW factor that very quickly gets lost and becomes ignored.

Hard to ignore it when it’s right in front of your face every time you drive the thing.

I’m still trying to figure out if these displays will show Airplay navigation, or if they ONLY use built-in navigation? If I can put a Waze map on the cluster, I’ll want it. Otherwise, it’s just a “meh” feature for me.

Hopefully the digital dash will work as perfectly as my uconnect 5…… Sarcasm!

It’s nice but the HUD is much more useful during driving than the digital cluster In our X5. HUD has been the game changer IMO.

@Eighty posted a chart of 2023 build sheets showing all RAM 1500 trims except Bighorn and Tradesman have been getting the new dash.

2023 Model Year Available?

Well, if you can’t get night vision in an EIGHTY-THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR RAM REBEL, I dunno what it would take. But safe to say I can’t afford it. But in all fairness, it gets 0 mpg. That’s a unicorn right there.
