Towing Technology and Features
You can equip your Ram with a wealth of available features to enhance its towing capabilities and take your towing experience to the next level.
Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors
Available telescopic trailer tow mirrors give you an expert view of what's happening behind you. The mirrors retract and extend for perfect positioning, so you can position them just where you need them for optimal visibility, no matter what you're hauling. You can also add a mirror-mounted camera system along with forward and reverse spotter technology. This gives you a copilot's assistance on your journeys and lets you travel solo as though you're accompanied by a team.
Advanced Towing Assist Systems
The available Trailer Auto Hitch Assist features make it quick and easy to hitch up for your next trip. This system enables autosteering to align the trailer tongue with the ball hitch. You control the throttle and brakes while Trailer Auto Hitch Assist handles the rest.
Trailer Reverse Guidance with Dynamic Gridlines is another powerful feature available with the 2025 Ram 1500. This technology displays the trailer's anticipated trajectory on the Uconnect 5 touch screen. Dynamic gridlines provide an intuitive view of what's happening so you can expertly maneuver your truck and trailer. An audible alert sounds if you're at risk of a jackknife condition so you can correct it quickly and avoid hazardous situations.
Digital Rearview Mirror With Tow Mode
The available digital rearview mirror can display a video feed from the trailer-mounted camera when in tow mode. This gives you a clear rear-facing look at what's behind you, even when it's positioned far back due to a long trailer. This level of visibility puts you in greater control with a clear understanding of your surroundings.
Integrated Trailer Health Monitor
The integrated trailer health monitor is a special display you can activate on the dash to access more information about your towing setup. This monitor displays performance and towing data, such as hitch weight and towing capacity, so you can optimize your setup. Easily visible on the Driver Information Digital Cluster Display, this is an informative addition that's ideal if you frequently hitch up and tow heavy trailers.
The Role of a High-Strength Steel Frame
The 2025 Ram 1500 sits on a frame of 98% steel for the ideal combination of flexibility and strength. This means the Ram 1500 can haul exceedingly heavy loads without endangering its structural integrity. Steel gives just enough to prevent a catastrophic break while remaining strong and stable to withstand the strain of the job.
