Perkins Motors - Smarter Trailering Around Centennial, CO - Camera Tech and Tow Features on the 2026 Ram 3500
Modern trailering demands more than raw numbers. Around Centennial, CO, busy job sites and tight residential streets call for visibility, control, and stress-reducing tech that turns big tasks into straightforward routines. The 2026 Ram 3500 brings that formula to life with an array of available camera systems, driver-information tools, and towing aids that make hitching, backing, and lane changes feel natural—whether you pull a fifth-wheel, gooseneck, or conventional trailer.
Start with the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and the available 360° Surround View Camera. Together, they provide a bird’s-eye perspective around both truck and trailer, helping you spot obstacles, negotiate narrow approaches, and line up perfectly at the ramp or jobsite. The available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration complements these views with real-time video, while an available wired Tow Mode Camera delivers a clear vantage behind the trailer itself. In the cluster, Trailer Tow Pages inside the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display bring Trailer Light Check, Trailer Brake Status, and more into crisp focus, so you can confirm readiness without walking circuits around the rig. Add the Tow Tech Package to unlock available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring across up to four trailers, with live pressure readings displayed right where you need them.
- 360° views: Available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera plus 360° Surround View Camera help monitor blind spots around truck and trailer.
- Digital mirror: The available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration supplies confidence when merging or overtaking under load.
- In-cluster tools: Trailer Tow Pages on the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display streamline checks and status updates.
- TPMS for trailers: Available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring tracks up to four trailers for smarter, safer travel.
- Hitching help: The LED Trailer Hitch Light illuminates hookups in the dark.
Backing a long trailer into a precise space can be the most intimidating part of the day—until you try available Trailer Reverse Steering Control. Instead of counter-steering the truck’s wheel, you guide the trailer’s direction with a dedicated knob while the system manages steering inputs. The result is a shorter learning curve and more consistent, repeatable maneuvers. Layer in the Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension and you get an even stance after you hitch up, which helps with stability, headlight aim, and camera image consistency as you load and go. And for those who value maximum situational awareness, Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors power-extend and retract, add forward and reverse spotter functionality, and pair with mirror-mounted cameras to boost confidence at speed and during slow-speed positioning.
Under the hood, the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 and the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic offer muscular torque and intuitive shift logic that shine in stop-and-go urban towing and long interstate pulls alike. Prefer gas power? The 6.4L HEMI® V8 with the TorqueFlite® 8 eight-speed automatic is a refined, robust option for mixed-use duty cycles. Both powertrains integrate cleanly with the truck’s trailering tech, so you’re never fighting the powertrain to execute a precise maneuver.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Does the camera tech help with fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers?
Yes. The available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration, and available wired Tow Mode Camera are designed to support a wide range of trailer types, including fifth-wheel and gooseneck setups.
What does Trailer Reverse Steering Control actually do?
It lets you steer the trailer’s direction with a dedicated knob while the system handles the truck’s steering wheel inputs. The goal is smoother, more predictable backing with less trial and error.
How does the Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension help when I’m hitched?
The Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension maintains a level ride height under load, which can improve stability, headlight aim, and the overall visibility you see on camera views.
Can I monitor trailer tire pressures from the driver’s seat?
Yes. With the Tow Tech Package, available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring shows live readings for up to four trailers on the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display.
Are the Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors worth it?
For frequent towers, the Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors are an excellent upgrade. Power-extend/retract, forward and reverse spotter functionality, and integration with mirror-mounted cameras make lane changes and backing more confident.
When you combine these systems—camera tech, in-cluster towing tools, Trailer Reverse Steering Control, and Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension—you get a heavy-duty truck that respects your time and lowers the learning curve for new drivers on your crew. Add in the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch touchscreen with Uconnect® 5 NAV, and you have a cohesive, modern interface that streamlines everyday operations.
