Sherman Ram – Trailering Made Simple: 2026 Ram 2500 Camera Tech and Steering Assist for Wilmette, IL Drivers
Trailering can feel complex—especially in crowded lots, narrow alleys, or when crosswinds push around a tall enclosed trailer. The 2026 Ram 2500 tackles those everyday challenges with a suite of camera views and trailer-friendly controls designed to boost confidence for Wilmette, IL drivers. Two standout features make the difference quickly: the available 360° Surround View Camera with the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and the available Trailer Reverse Steering Control. Together, these systems expand your visibility and offload the trickiest part of backing a trailer—steering inputs—so you can focus on what matters: aligning smoothly and safely.
The camera system stitches together multiple perspectives to create a near bird’s-eye view around your truck and trailer. It helps you see curbs, posts, and tight angles that can disappear in mirror blind spots, and it pairs well with the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration for real-time video of what’s coming alongside your trailer. When you are lined up and ready to back in, Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you use a dedicated knob to guide the trailer’s direction while the system manages steering inputs on the truck itself. The combination is intuitive within a minute or two—just set your path and the technology helps make it happen smoothly.
Confidence builds further with tow-specific tools embedded across the cabin. The available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display can show Trailer Tow Pages, Trailer Brake Status, and Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, putting key data within your line of sight while you watch the mirrors. And because the Uconnect® 5 NAV system is available with a Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, you get a wide, crisp canvas for camera views and tow-friendly navigation. It is one thing to know where your trailer is; it is another to have the right information at the right moment so your decisions stay calm and precise.
Of course, capability is more than screens and gauges. The Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps keep things level during load-in and when weight shifts as you crest hills or settle onto uneven pads. Pair that with heavy-duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes and an available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake, and the 2026 Ram 2500 feels composed when the grade steepens or the ramp gets slick. If you tow fifth-wheel or gooseneck, the available factory prep package streamlines the setup with integrated mounting points for secure hitching.
These integrated systems matter because real-world trailering stacks variables quickly—weather, visibility, traffic, time pressure. The 2026 Ram 2500 answers with visibility you can trust, one-hand trailer backing via Trailer Reverse Steering Control, and a chassis tuned to support heavy loads without drama. Add the available Class-Exclusive Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors, and you have a towing toolkit that works as hard as you do, without feeling complicated.
If you are planning to tow an enclosed car hauler, a pair of ATVs, or a travel trailer for family weekends, now is a great time to try these features in person. Sherman Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram offers product specialists who can walk you through camera views, trailer setup in the Digital Cluster Display, and how Trailer Reverse Steering Control behaves in different scenarios, from shallow ramps to tight S-curves. We are committed to clear, hands-on demos that help you learn quickly and drive confidently.
