Towing is a challenging undertaking. Luckily, trucks like the Ram 3500 come with various safety features that make the process easier and more secure. For example, pickups often have trailer sway control. This system relies on a combination of upward and downward pressure on the spring arms and hitch tongue to steady the load when needed.Â
Standard active safety systems can also aid in towing. Blind-spot monitoring, for instance, alerts the driver when other vehicles are in the next lane and parallel to the trailer. This tool can supplement extra-wide mirrors (such as 7x11 ones), which offer a better view behind the vehicle.
In addition, some tire monitoring systems include a hookup for trailer wheels. This component allows the driver to get an early warning about a puncture that could lead to a loss of control.Â
