Ram 3500 Smart Towing Features
The 2022 Ram 3500 can tow some massive toys and equipment, from boats to horse trailers and everything in between. However, ensuring a successful towing experience doesn’t solely rely on numbers.
It’s just as important that your truck offers the technology and driver-assistive systems to help foster a safe and secure ride. Luckily, the Ram 3500 does that through its suite of smart towing features.
Maximize Towing Potential
If you want to max out the towing capability of this reliable workhorse, you can hitch up the Ram 3500 with both Fifth-Wheel and Gooseneck trailers. When outfitted with the optional Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, you’ll have everything you need to move forward with the heaviest loads in tow thanks to the available factory-installed rear-axle structural crossmember.
Hitch with Ease
Speaking of connecting your truck and your trailer, Ram also offers the available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension. Using its included Bed Lowering Mode, this feature will bring the rear suspension to its lowest position when you want to hook up your trailer. For extra convenience when hitching at night, you can upgrade your truck with the available Trailer Light Hitch.
Eyes on All Sides
There’s also the optional Trailer 360° Surround View Camera, which gives you a bird’s-eye view of the area around your heavy-duty truck. Along with that, you can select the available Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode.
This handy feature displays a live feed from a camera located on the trailer directly onto the Digital Rearview Mirror, giving you a clear view of the area behind your truck even with a trailer in tow.
Keep Trailers in Check
Another useful feature is the available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring system, which can generate live pressure readings for up to four trailers and 12 tires per trailer as you travel.
Additional 2022 Ram 3500 Safety & Driver-Assistive Measures
The Ram 3500 is so jam-packed with confidence-boosting features that we couldn’t fit it all in the previous section. Below, you’ll find a few more innovative ways your Ram truck will work to help keep you and your passengers safe and sound:
- Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
If an accident is imminent, this available feature will display a warning inside your vehicle, giving you enough time to react. If no action is taken, the brakes can activate to bring the truck to a complete halt, even with a trailer attached. - Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop
This optional system works to maintain your selected following distance from vehicles in front of you. In slower traffic, the speed can automatically adjust down to zero MPH, too, regardless of if you’re towing a trailer. - Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection
This safety feature is available on all Ram 3500 models and will scan the blind spot zones behind and beside your vehicle for trailer security while maneuvering. It can even automatically sense and account for the length of the trailer.
With these safety and driver-assistive features keeping an extra eye out on the road, you’ll be ready to move forward with greater confidence and peace of mind.
Ram 3500 Cargo Capacities
Cargo and towing go hand in hand. After all, you wouldn’t hook up your pontoon for a fishing trip and leave your bait, rods, and tackle behind, would you? Of course not! Thankfully, the Ram 3500 offers lots of cargo space for everything you’ll need to make the most out of your time on the water.
Organize on the Fly
Use the optional RamBox® Cargo Management System to keep everything nice and tidy. It comes with two lockable and drainable storage bins with LED lighting as well as a 115-volt power outlet.
Remote Access
Here’s more—using the available power release tailgate with key fob control makes opening the tailgate a breeze. When it’s time to pack up and head home, the optional bed step deploys with a simple kick for a sturdy foothold.
Impressive Cargo
As for dimensions, the pickup box has a maximum width of 66.4 inches, a maximum length of 98.3 inches, and a maximum volume of 74.7 cubic feet, so you can easily accommodate all your equipment, gear, and belongings.
