- Integrated trailer brake controller
The available integrated trailer brake controller allows you to automatically or manually activate the electronic or hydraulic brakes on properly equipped trailers for greater stopping power on downhill grades. The controller and status display are mounted on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. The included control lever can activate the trailer brakes independent of the truck’s brakes. Stopping power is upped further by a wide brake pad surface area, and large brake pistons and calipers. Bigger brakes also mean longer intervals between brake jobs and less time and money spent in the shop. Additionally, a standard integrated diesel exhaust brake reduces brake fade and prolongs brake life.
- Heavy-duty tow hooks
Pull just about anything out of anywhere with these black, forged-steel hooks that mount to your truck frame. These tow hooks come standard on a Ram 3500, Ram 2500 Power Wagon® and Outdoorsman™, also available on Ram 2500. So get going. And get towing.
- ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera
The available ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera+ shows you what’s behind your truck on the available full-color Uconnect® Touch Media Centers when you’re in reverse. It eases parking and takes the guesswork out of backing up to a trailer.
- Trailer harness connector
A combination four-pin / seven-pin trailer harness connector, standard on all Ram Heavy Duty trucks, eliminates dangling wires, and is engineered to make it easier to connect your trailer.
- Trailer tow mirrors
The available large 7x11-inch folding trailer tow mirrors with available integrated turn signals and puddle lamps provide a commanding view of the road on both sides of your truck.
