Trucks are large and powerful - but they should also protect drivers while on the highway. The 2021 Ram 1500Â embraces this philosophy. This workhorse has been named the IIHS Top Safety Pick three years in a row for the Crew Cab model that has had Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking and Adaptive LED Projector Headlights installed.
The Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking system helps mitigate accidents by using strategically placed sensors that are constantly looking out for you at the road ahead. If they determine a crash is evident, the truck provides visual and audio alerts. In case no action is taken to prevent an incident, the pickup can even apply stopping power on its own.
And the Adaptive LED Projector Headlights help keep you safe by responding to how the truck is moving. If you turn, they can angle themselves a little to illuminate curves while also adding brightness along straightaways to enhance visibility further.
BC motorists can also add the Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection system. It monitors areas that aren't visible from the driver's seat and broadcasts alerts in case hazards get too close.
