That's why Ram continues to innovate with features like trailer tow power-fold mirrors with 360-degree surround-view cameras. Trailer light checks and trailer tire pressure monitors keep you abreast of vital trailer statistics. Once you're on the road with your trailer, a trailer sway control system and hill start assist system make towing easier and safer. Your blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert systems cover your trailer as well. A trailer reverse-steering control system simplifies backing up your trailer. By turning the steering knob in your center stack, the system controls your steering wheel. Turn the knob in the direction you need your trailer to go, and the system does the rest. Ram also offers a trailer wiring system to add two cameras to your trailer for added visibility. Unique Multi-Functioning Tailgate If you've ever towed a trailer, then you know after hooking up, you can't open the tailgate to get gear in and out of the truck bed. Not anymore. Now, with Ram's multi-function tailgate, you can take advantage of the 60/40 swing-away doors. These doors also allow for fork-lift loading, loading of bulky items, and easy step-up access. The tailgate folds down traditionally and holds up to 2,000 pounds. Hard Working Frame and Suspension The Ram 1500 uses a high-strength steel frame that can carry up to 2,300 pounds in the bed. Opt for the class-exclusive air suspension system, and lower your Ram 1500 on the highway to reduce drag and improve efficiency. The lowering capability makes loading and unloading easier too. A snowplow prep kit is available for those working in wintry conditions. With so many great features, the 2021 Ram 1500 is one of the hardest working trucks on the road.
