- Integrated Trailer Brake Controller
The available integrated trailer brake controller allows you to automatically or manually activate the electronic brakes on properly equipped trailers for greater stopping power on downhill grades. The controller and status display are mounted in the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel, and the included control lever can activate the trailer brakes independent of the truck's brakes.
Stopping power is upped further by superior brake pad surface area, brake piston and caliper size. Bigger brakes also mean longer intervals between brake jobs for less time and money spent in the shop. Additionally, a segment-exclusive standard integrated diesel exhaust brakeen_based_auto_news_sprinter reduces brake fade and prolongs brake life.
- Rear Backup Camera
The available ParkView® rear backup cameraen_when_properly_equipped_towing shows you what's behind your truck on the available the full-color multimedia touch screen when you're in reverse. It eases parking and takes the guesswork out of backing up to a 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.
- Trailer harness connector
A combination four-pin / seven-pin trailer harness connector, standard on all Heavy Duty Rams, eliminates dangling wires and makes it easier to connect your trailer.
- Fifth wheel hitch
Count on impressive 16,000-lb capacity. This premium hitch, available from Mopar®, mounts directly to the frame's cross-member. It provides extra clearance to extend the turning radius and prevent damage to the rear window — previously 45 degrees, it's now expanded to 80 degrees.
- Gooseneck trailer hitch
The available Mopar® gooseneck trailer hitch mounts securely in the cargo box using an installation kit that attaches directly to the frame rails under the box. A quick-release handle means it's easily removed.
- Heavy-duty tow hooks
Pull just about anything out of anywhere with these black, forged-steel hooks that mount to your truck's frame. Available from Mopar®.
