James CDJR of Cedar Lake - 2026 RAM 2500: Towing Tech That Eases Hauling around Merrillville, IN
When a truck’s tow rating is only part of the story, the right technology closes the gap between confidence and guesswork. The 2026 RAM 2500 builds that confidence with a suite of towing tools designed to help you connect, maneuver, monitor, and park with less stress. Around boat ramps, job sites, or neighborhood streets outside Merrillville, the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration offer real-time video vantage points that would be impossible to see with mirrors alone. Backing a trailer into a tight spot is no longer a trial-and-error exercise—available Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you turn a trailer steering knob while the system manages the truck’s wheel, helping you place your trailer precisely.
The technology support continues once you are rolling. The available Uconnect® 5 NAV system on the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch touchscreen pairs with the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display to put Trailer Tow Pages front and center—think Trailer Light Check, Trailer Brake Status, and available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring with live readings for up to four trailers. Available Class-Exclusive Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors add power-extend function and camera integration for enhanced visibility, while the LED Trailer Hitch Light built into the tailgate handle area helps with secure connections after sunset. The net effect is a tow-ready cockpit that keeps your attention forward and your rig fully in view.
- 360° Trailer Perspective: Available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera provides a bird’s-eye view around your trailer to spot obstacles and align confidently.
- Hands-on Backing Help: Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you steer your trailer with a dedicated knob while the system turns the truck’s wheel.

- Real-Time Monitoring: Available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring displays live readings for up to four trailers in the cluster.
For drivers who tow often, small conveniences add up. The LED Trailer Hitch Light reduces fumbling at night; the factory Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package includes a structural crossmember with integrated mounting hardware for quick hitch installs; and the available Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps level loads for a composed ride and easier hookups. Tie those together with the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 and TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic, and you get a towing partner engineered to simplify long days and maximize weekends.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does Trailer Reverse Steering Control help with backing up?
Instead of counter-steering the truck, you turn a trailer steering knob to guide the trailer where you want it to go while the system handles the truck’s steering. It helps take the guesswork out of tight maneuvers.
What is the benefit of the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera?
It stitches multiple camera feeds into a top-down perspective around the truck and trailer, making it easier to spot curbs, posts, or pedestrians and align accurately in confined spaces.
Can I monitor multiple trailers’ tire pressures?
Yes. With the available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring system, you can receive live pressure readings for up to four trailers on the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display.
Do the Trailer Tow Pages require the larger touchscreen?
Trailer Tow Pages display in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display and are complemented by the available Uconnect® 5 NAV on the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch touchscreen for a comprehensive view of towing functions.
Which mirrors should frequent towers choose?
Opt for the Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors for power-extend function, forward and reverse spotter capabilities, and integration with available mirror-mounted cameras for broader visibility.
