Matthew Sessoms Ram - Smithfield, NC, Guide to the 2026 Ram 2500’s Tow Tech and Onboard Power
When your week includes jobsite trailering and your weekend involves a camper or boat, the right tech makes heavy-duty tasks feel refreshingly simple. This Smithfield, NC guide zeroes in on two standout advantages of the 2026 Ram 2500—advanced tow technology and available onboard power—so you can line up, hitch, monitor, and move with confidence. With available Trailer Reverse Steering Control that lets you guide trailer direction via a steering knob, plus an available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera for a more complete view as you maneuver, you gain extra precision in lots, ramps, and campgrounds. Link that awareness to available Trailer Tow Pages in the Digital Cluster Display—featuring Trailer Light Check, Trailer Brake Status, and even available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring—and you elevate your towing routine from reactive to proactive.
Productivity does not stop at the hitch. Available onboard power turns the truck into a mobile workbench or campsite hub. Choose the 400-watt inverter for quick cuts and charges, or upgrade to the Best-in-Class available 2.4-kilowatt inverter for more demanding tools and gear. Add the Class-Exclusive available RamBox® Cargo Management System with lockable, drainable bins—plus available bed lighting and a Mopar® bed step—and you have a cargo area that is as organized as it is capable. Inside, the available Uconnect® 5 NAV with the Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen and available dual wireless charging pads keep directions, devices, and data at your fingertips—handy when coordinating a team or navigating to a lakeside launch and back again.

Drivers often ask how these systems work together in real scenarios. Picture a tight public ramp at dusk: the LED Trailer Hitch Light in the tailgate handle area helps you connect the coupler; the available camera suite assists with line-of-sight challenges; Trailer Reverse Steering Control makes precise adjustments second nature; and Trailer Tow Pages confirm brake status and lights before you travel. On arrival, onboard power supports setup—from power tools for quick fixes to lighting for a safer work area or campsite.
