It’s no secret that full-size trucks tend to have massive blind spots. Luckily, the new 2021 Ram 1500 Limited comes with two trailer-inclusive driving aids to help reduce your risk of causing an accident on the highway or in a parking lot.
Â
The first enhancement is blindspot monitoring. Keeping tabs on your side view even with an attachment in tow, this feature will alert you if another vehicle is next to you. This will let you know that it is not the right time to change lanes. Once the other car pulls ahead, the alert will cease.
Â
The other system is known as rear cross-traffic detection. Operating with the ParkView backup camera and sensors, it will notify you if a moving obstacle travels behind you. Keep in mind that this is only active when you are in reverse.
