Whether reversing into a tight spot at a Monrovia event or parking at a local trailhead, ParkSense makes these maneuvers stress-free and precise.
Visibility is key to safe driving, especially during inclement weather or nighttime conditions. RAM trucks incorporate advanced lighting systems to ensure you can see and be seen in all circumstances.
Automatic High-Beam Headlamps are a prime example of this innovation. These headlamps automatically switch between high and low beams depending on oncoming traffic and surrounding light conditions. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments and ensures optimal visibility without blinding other drivers. For those early morning or late evening drives to Monrovia Canyon Park, this feature proves invaluable.
The Digital Rearview Mirror further enhances visibility by providing a clear, unobstructed view of what’s behind the truck. Unlike traditional mirrors that can be blocked by cargo or passengers, this digital mirror uses a rear-mounted camera to deliver a high-resolution feed. This ensures you always have a full view of your surroundings, no matter the load in your truck bed.
RAM trucks are built to handle a variety of terrains and conditions, and their safety features are designed to keep them stable and responsive at all times.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) plays a critical role in maintaining vehicle stability, particularly during challenging conditions like wet roads or sharp turns. By detecting loss of traction, ESC can automatically apply brakes to individual wheels and reduce engine power, helping the driver regain control. Coupled with Traction Control, which prevents wheel spin on slippery surfaces, these systems ensure your RAM truck performs reliably on both city streets and rugged trails.
For towing and hauling, features like Trailer Sway Control and an available Trailer Camera System take the stress out of managing heavy loads. Trailer Sway Control detects and mitigates any side-to-side movement of your trailer, while the camera system provides a clear view of your trailer and its surroundings. These tools are indispensable when towing equipment or recreational vehicles through Monrovia’s winding roads or beyond.
Safety isn’t just about technology; it’s about creating an environment where drivers and passengers can focus on the road ahead. RAM trucks achieve this with a blend of comfort and convenience features designed to reduce fatigue and enhance the driving experience.
Spacious and quiet cabins are a hallmark of RAM trucks. Active noise cancellation minimizes road noise, creating a serene interior that allows drivers to focus and passengers to relax. For those extended road trips or long days on the job, features like heated and ventilated seats add a layer of comfort that reduces physical strain. This thoughtful design ensures that safety isn’t compromised by driver fatigue, particularly during holiday travel or work commutes.
RAM is committed to continuous improvement, and the future of its safety features promises even greater advancements. Technologies like Active Driving Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering for semi-autonomous driving, represent the next frontier in automotive safety. By reducing the workload on drivers while maintaining control and vigilance, these systems pave the way for safer, more efficient journeys. As RAM trucks evolve, so too does their ability to protect and empower drivers. From advanced warning systems to enhanced visibility tools, every feature is designed with safety in mind, making RAM a leader in delivering peace of mind on the road. Whether you’re exploring Monrovia or tackling the open highway, RAM trucks ensure you arrive safely, every time.
RAM trucks are renowned for their power, durability, and cutting-edge safety technologies. While features like Forward Collision Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Blind Spot Monitoring are often highlighted, there’s a range of additional driver assistance technologies in RAM trucks that elevate safety and convenience. These lesser-discussed but equally impactful features enhance the overall driving experience, making RAM trucks a reliable companion for everyday commutes and adventurous road trips alike.
Parking a large vehicle like a RAM truck can be challenging, especially in crowded urban areas or tight spaces. Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist takes the guesswork out of parking by using ultrasonic sensors to guide your truck into a spot. Once activated, the system identifies suitable parking spaces and assists with steering, leaving you to control the accelerator and brakes. Whether you’re parking near Monrovia’s Old Town or at the bustling farmer’s market, this feature makes maneuvering effortless and precise.
The 360-Degree Surround View Camera provides a bird’s-eye view of your truck and its surroundings, a crucial tool for navigating tight spaces or off-road trails. Unlike the traditional rearview camera, this system combines feeds from multiple cameras to create a comprehensive image of the truck’s perimeter. This feature is particularly helpful when towing, as it offers a clear view of both the truck and trailer, ensuring safe navigation in confined spaces or uneven terrain.
RAM trucks cater to towing enthusiasts with specialized features like Rear Trailer Guidance. This system uses cameras and dynamic gridlines to assist in aligning your trailer hitch and offers guidance while reversing with a trailer. The feature simplifies a traditionally tricky process, making it easier to attach and maneuver trailers, whether you're loading up for a camping trip in the San Gabriel Mountains or transporting heavy equipment for work.
RAM trucks are designed to perform in various terrains, and features like Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control enhance control and safety on inclines. Hill Start Assist prevents rollback by holding the brakes momentarily as you transition from the brake pedal to the accelerator. Hill Descent Control, on the other hand, maintains a steady speed and applies braking automatically while descending steep grades, ensuring stability and control without excessive driver input.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) keeps you informed about the health of your tires by providing real-time pressure readings for each tire. Properly inflated tires improve fuel efficiency, enhance handling, and reduce the risk of blowouts. TPMS alerts you when tire pressure drops below optimal levels, ensuring you're always aware of potential issues before they escalate. This system is especially beneficial during long road trips or when hauling heavy loads.
Building on collision prevention systems, Automatic Emergency Steering is an advanced feature that assists in avoiding obstacles.
