- Monitoring Tools
Ram’s advanced monitoring tools make hauling and parking a trailer easier. Monitoring tools include:
- Trailer Light Check: When activated, the Light Check system checks your trailer’s brake, reverse, left turn, and right turn lights to ensure that they are in proper working condition.
- Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System: This system provides live tire pressure readings. This system can monitor up to four trailers, with 12 tires per trailer.
- Trailer Camera Prep: Adds up to two auxiliary cameras within or on your trailer to provide extra visibility.
- Center High Mount Stop Light Camera: Mounted above the rear window, this camera provides complete trailer visibility and dynamic gridlines when in reverse.
- Surround View Camera System: Ram’s advanced camera system provides a 360-degree view of your surroundings. Surround View uses four cameras in the tailgate, side mirrors, and front grille. Images from cameras are displayed on the dashboard touch screen. You can also zoom in to images up to four times by pressing the magnifying glass icon on the touch screen.
- Trailer Reverse Guidance: This system makes backing up with a trailer easier by providing adjustable camera views of your trailer and its surrounding area. Images from the side-mirror cameras are displayed side-by-side on your touch-screen display.
- Digital Rearview Mirror: The available Digital Rearview Mirror provides a live-stream video from your rear-facing camera, providing a complete view of the area behind your truck, even when the bed is fully loaded.
