- Trailer Sway Control

Trailer Sway Control+ (TSC) recognizes a swaying trailer and automatically applies individual wheel brakes and/or reduces engine power to attempt to eliminate the trailer sway.
- Integrated trailer hitch
Ram 1500 competitors are content with the status quo. Messy, dangling trailer hitch wires are the norm. We have a better way. All Ram models offer a 4- and 7-pin trailer hitch wiring harness and connector with a convenient plug-in connection integrated into the rear bumper.
