Towing Technology and Features

The 2025 Ram 1500 has the most available towing technology features in comparison to previous Ram 1500 models. Its state-of-the-art technology and intelligent towing capabilities, such as Trailer Reverse Steering Control, provide a more controlled towing experience than the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado.

Integrated Trailer Brake Controller

This feature aligns the trailer’s brakes with your Ram’s brakes to create seamless and effective stopping power. You can set the braking force on the controller based on your trailer’s load and weight.

Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors

The available telescopic trailer tow mirrors extend and retract to help you maneuver the truck when parking in tight spots. With the mirror-mounted camera system, the available forward and reverse spotter functions deliver exceptional viewing range when towing.

Trailer Auto Hitch Assist

Hitch up your load with the available Trailer Auto Hitch Assist. This feature allows the vehicle to steer itself into alignment with the trailer tongue. You control the brakes and throttle at the same time.

Performance and Handling While Towing

Whether you need to haul a livestock trailer or transport a boat to the lake, the 2025 Ram 1500 can do the job, thanks to its exceptional towing abilities. Advanced suspension systems and towing-specific driving modes deliver outstanding performance under any towing load. Compared to top-tier trucks, such as the Ford F-150, these features provide excellent performance and handling.

The 2025 Ram 1500 offers five drive modes depending on road conditions and your towing load: Normal, Tow, Snow, Sport, and Off-Road. With the Tow mode engaged, your Ram’s transmission will hold its gears for extended periods when accelerating and decelerating, allowing you to optimize fuel economy while towing.

With its available four-corner air suspension system with adaptive damping and active leveling, the 2025 Ram 1500 offers three distinct operating modes that prove helpful when towing loads on and off the road:

• Aero: Lowers the suspension for optimized aerodynamics and maximum efficiency
• Off-Road 1: Raises the suspension for increased ground clearance during light off-roading
