As the base model and the largest version in the current lineup, the new 2021 Ram Chassis Cab 5500 Tradesman is quite impressive. As a working truck, it doesn’t need all of the bells and whistles to be successful. However, it does come with a few safety enhancements that are designed to protect you on the roads.
Â
The first is the advanced trailer tire pressure monitoring system. It monitors the amount of air within all of the tires including those on any attachment that you may have in tow. This helps prevent a blowout by alerting you to the change in psi before it becomes a major issue.
Â
Next, this vehicle includes the Electronic Stability Control suite. Bolstered by Traction and Trailer Sway Controls, it also includes Hill Start Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Rain Brake Support, and Ready Alert Braking. All of these elements combine together to keep you driving steadily even in the worst conditions. You won’t have to worry about hydroplaning or rolling backward on a steep incline.
Â
Finally, several multistage airbags have been placed strategically throughout the cabin to cushion occupants in the event of an accident.
