One of the most highly sought-after safety systems is Adaptive Cruise Control. This advancement can be equipped on the new 2021 Ram 3500, and it will change your entire world.
 

While it does provide the ability to set a speed limit, this feature goes above and beyond the average cruise control mechanism. It also lets you choose a following distance between your truck and the vehicle that is traveling in front of you.
 

As the flow of traffic begins to slow, so will the Ram 3500. It can even come to a complete stop with a trailer in tow without any extra input from you as the driver. If movement picks up again within 2 seconds, you won’t need to step on the accelerator. If you are halted for a long period of time, the pre-sets will be cancelled, the electric park brake will be engaged, and your intervention will be required to go.
 

To activate it, simply push the ACC On/Off button located on your steering wheel followed by SET+ and RES+. If another car moves in front of you, the “Sensed Vehicle” icon will appear on your instrument cluster.

Illumination is a vital part of any vehicle. However, not all bulbs are created equal. The new 2021 Ram 3500 is a heavy-duty pickup that offers stellar lighting systems.
 

The Tradesman and Big Horn models come with standard automatic quad halogen headlamps. “Quad” means that there are two bulbs in each casing for a total of four. These are each filled with halogen gas and come with plastic lenses. They are sometimes referred to as composite bulbs.
 

Next, the Laramie uses LEDs. This new and improved technology uses Light Emitting Diodes and filament bulbs instead of conventional gas. The result is a bluer, crisper light and less energy.
 

Finally, the Limited Longhorn and Limited trims include premium bi-functional LED directional projector headlamps. While that may seem like a mouthful, it’s actually fairly simple. An internal shutter is moved out of the way in order for you to activate your high beams.
 

If you want to take things a step further, you can also add the class-exclusive Adaptive Forward Lighting System. This instantly bumps your headlights brightness up by 15 degrees at night to provide enhanced visibility.

With large trucks come big blind spots. It can be difficult to see other vehicles, especially smaller ones, when they drive up beside you. That’s why the 2021 Ram 3500 can be equipped with Blind-Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Path Detection.
 

The first feature serves as a second set of eyes on the highway. If you try to change lanes while another transport is hidden in a position that you can’t see, this component will let you know that it is unsafe to take this action. Once the way is clear, you can proceed with making the switch.
 

The second aspect of this suite gives you a set of peepers in the back. Cameras and dual wide-band radar sensors are mounted on the rear and inside the taillamp casings. These will catch any moving obstacles behind you as you travel in reverse. This is best suited for crowded parking lots. You can avoid fender benders altogether with this handy function.

Keeping you and your passengers safe on the streets is a top priority at Ram Trucks. That’s why the new 2021 Ram 3500 Heavy-Duty pickup can be fitted with Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist systems.
 

While these are two separate functions entirely, they do work in unison as LaneSense to help keep you in your designated lane. Understanding how they are different and how they operate is crucial to preventing accidents on the highway.
 

First, Lane Departure Warning uses a front-mounted camera to detect the lines on the pavement and the position of your pickup in regards to them. To turn it on, simply press the button located on the Uconnect panel that corresponds with the function. If you begin to drift without activating the turn signal indicator, the component will vibrate the steering wheel in the direction you should go to get back into your place.
 

Next, Lane Keep Assist will make minor steering adjustments to get the vehicle back to the centre if no action is taken by you. This is designed to prevent side-swiping incidents. Keep in mind that you can make preference changes on the touchscreen interface.

The 2021 Ram 3500 is at its best whenever it is put to work. Whether you need to transport a payload or haul an attachment, this heavy-duty pickup can handle whatever you throw at it. It even comes with several driving aids to make your job easier.
 

First on the list is the available Centre High-Mounted Stop Lamp Cargo View Camera. This advancement provides you with a full image of your truck’s bed and everything inside of it. It also shows the back bumper. The live video feed is displayed on the Uconnect touchscreen interface, and it gives you a line of sight to any hookups you have in tow. This includes Fifth-Wheels or Goosenecks.
 

Next is the brand new Trailer Light Check System. This enables you to see if all of the electrical components are working properly after the hookup is complete. This includes the turn signals, taillamps, and brakes. What used to be a two-person job can now be handled by you alone.
 

Finally, the 360-degree SurroundView Camera System is offered with Trailer Reverse Guidance. This allows you to see all angles when you need to back up.

One of the biggest stressors when people first buy a large truck is parking. The average driver isn’t used to manoeuvring such a massive vehicle, and it can be intimidating in the beginning. However, every new 2021 Ram 3500 comes with the ParkView backup camera as a standard safety system. Some models are also equipped with Park-Sense, which is what this article covers.
 

As a Front and Rear Park Assist System, this advanced aid includes front bumper- and dual-rear wheel-mounted sensors to detect obstacles. Sometimes, it is also paired with the 360-degree Surround View Camera and a digital rearview mirror that displays the live video feed. If not, then the image will be displayed on the Uconnect infotainment touchscreen interface.
 

Activated when you shift into the Reverse position, it can be turned on or off by simply pressing the corresponding button located on the centre console. You can also adjust your preferences by selecting the Safety and Driving Assistance menu on the monitor.
 

When an object is detected in your path, a tone will sound. This is a signal that you need to stop. Please remember to keep the sensors clean from dirt to ensure that they are always functioning normally.
