Hastings Ram – How Trailer Tech Elevates the 2026 Ram 2500 for Kearney, NE Drivers
Towing has never been more intuitive, and that is the point with the 2026 Ram 2500. If you are weighing a new heavy-duty truck for workdays around the Platte River corridor or weekends pulling a fifth-wheel to state parks, the latest trailering technology turns complex maneuvers into second nature. Available systems such as Trailer Reverse Steering Control, the 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera, and the Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration coordinate to present clear views and simple controls. Add Tow Tech features like Trailer Tow Pages and Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display, and you finally get the data you want exactly where you need it. At Hastings Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram — serving York, Kearney, and Blue Hill — we see drivers breathe easier after a hands-on demo because these systems reduce stress from the moment you drop the hitch.
Start with visibility. The available 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera stitches multiple feeds into a top-down perspective around truck and trailer, while the available Digital Rearview Mirror streams a real-time rear view that is not blocked by cargo or passengers. Pair the mirror with available exterior mirror cameras and an available wired Tow Mode Camera, and you can scan left, right and behind the trailer before committing to a maneuver. When it is time to back into a tight spot, available Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you use a console knob to guide the trailer’s path as the system controls the steering wheel. That means fewer corrections, easier alignment, and less time walking back and forth to check angles. The available LED Trailer Hitch Light built into the tailgate handle area is a small touch with big impact, making dusk hookups and pre-dawn departures far simpler.
- Trailer Reverse Steering Control: Turn a console knob to guide the trailer’s direction while the system turns the truck’s wheel for you.
- 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera: See a bird’s-eye perspective of your truck and trailer to validate clearances in real time.
- Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode Camera: Get a live, unobstructed rear view and add a wired camera for a look behind your trailer.
- Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring: View live pressure for up to four trailers in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display.
- LED Trailer Hitch Light: Illuminate the coupling area to connect safely and quickly in low light.
Capability underpins the tech. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 teams with the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic to deliver the kind of controlled torque that builds confidence, while heavy-duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes and an available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake help keep speed in check on long grades. If your routine involves frequent hook-ups and varied cargo, the available Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension can help level the load and smooth the ride. For owners who swap hitch types, the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package with an integrated crossmember is a time saver and a durability enhancer. And with available onboard power — choose a 400-watt inverter or Best-in-Class Available Onboard Power at 2.4 kilowatts — you can run accessories and tools without bringing a separate generator.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use Trailer Reverse Steering Control with different trailer sizes?
Yes. The system is designed to work across common trailer types and sizes. After initial setup, you use the trailer steering knob to guide the trailer’s path while the truck manages steering.
How does the 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera help solo drivers?
It gives you a stitched overhead view of the truck and trailer, helping validate clearances at pumps, in alleys and on campsites without a spotter.
Will the Digital Rearview Mirror show around the trailer, not just behind it?
When equipped with available exterior mirror cameras and the available wired Tow Mode Camera, the mirror can display left, right and rear views to minimize blind spots while towing.
Is the Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension useful if I tow only occasionally?
Yes. It helps level the truck for both payload and tongue weight, improving stability and headlight aim even on the days you are not maxed out.
Before you commit to a configuration, map your tow chart. Think about the weights of your trailer, cargo and passengers, the grades you travel and your climate. A discussion about gear ratios, bed and cab lengths, and the right tech bundles pays off in comfort and control for years. Our product specialists can walk through real hookups on the lot, demonstrate Trailer Tow Pages, and set up camera views tailored to your trailer. When the truck works with you — instead of asking you to work harder — everything from a quick supply run to a long weekend at the lake gets easier.
Ready to see how the right tools make every mile easier? Spend a few minutes with the screens, the cameras and the steering knob, and you will understand why smart trailering is quickly becoming a must-have on modern heavy-duty trucks.
