Who says you can’t have it all? Gone are the days of sacrificing performance for luxury when shopping for a new truck. Visit a Ram dealer near you, like our own Spirit CDJR, and you’ll see that the Ram 1500 is a workhorse that many favor over other brands. Ruggedly capable from its high-strength steel frame to the power it delivers under the hood, the Ram 1500 is also refined and innovative with a suite of the latest technology that will make your time behind the wheel truly enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a rugged road warrior that can get the job done, then your search is over with the 2021 Ram 1500. Its capability speaks for itself, but what truly sets the Ram 1500 apart is its technology features that are designed to give you confidence whether you’re cruising the highway and towing a heavy load or running errands around town. Here’s the technology that sets the 2021 Ram 1500 apart from its fierce competitors in the class of half-ton trucks.
#1 A Stunning Center Display
Delivering on its promise to make the 1500 the most advanced truck in its class, Ram leads the way with a stunning center display. The available 12-inch touchscreen is home to the Ram 1500’s Uconnect 12.0 infotainment system with available Navigation. Fully customizable to give you access to the apps you need and want at your fingertips, the touchscreen display offers a split-screen view that enables you to use multiple apps at once. Designed like a tablet or smartphone, you can also use your fingers to pinch and zoom, which gives you a clearer view of the map and makes it easier to get from Point A to Point B.
#2 Seamless Smartphone Integration
One of the best ways to stay connected when you’re in the Ram 1500 is to sync your smartphone using the Uconnect system and either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. When you pair your smartphone, you’ll have access to all your favorite apps on the touchscreen display. This means you can make phone calls, listen to your favorite playlists, open your calendar, send messages, and more with the touch of a button or a simple voice command.
#3 Always Connected, Always Entertained
If you’re tired of listening to your playlist, the Ram 1500 has an answer for that with the available SiriusXM with 360L. Offering personalized recommendations, voice control, and engaging new content, you can stay entertained wherever the road takes you. What’s even better is that you and your passengers will always be connected thanks to the available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. This makes the Ram 1500 a traveling hotspot, which is especially helpful if you’re working on the road.
#4 Everything You Need Within Eyesight
To keep your focus and your eyes on the road, Ram outfits the 1500 with a stunning 7-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display and an available Head-Up Display. The 7-inch display makes it easy to quickly glance at data like your speed, mileage, and fuel level, but the head-up display takes this to the next level. Completely reconfigurable to your needs, the crisp image on the windshield shows you everything from your speed and gear to incoming calls and navigational cues. This puts everything you need right in front of you at all times.
#5 An Innovative Rearview Mirror
The Ram 1500 is equipped with a traditional rearview mirror, which is standard on any vehicle. However, Ram ups the ante with the all-new Digital Rearview Mirror that’s easily turned on using a switch on the mirror. The digital mirror gives you a real-time video stream of the area behind the truck, which enhances your visibility and makes navigating busy or congested areas a breeze.
#6 Premium Audio and a Quiet Ride
Whether you’re listening to SiriusXM, talking on the phone, or taking your lunch break in the truck, the Ram 1500 delivers an exceptionally quiet ride. The 1500 boasts noise-canceling technology that reduces ambient sounds and the noises of the world outside to deliver a peaceful ride. This noise-canceling technology makes listening to the available 900-watt Harman Kardon audio system even more enjoyable, especially since the 19-speaker system offers the most speakers in its class to give you the best audio system of any half-ton truck on the road.
#7 Tow Smarter
With a workhorse like the Ram 1500, you can expect it to be a capable hauler. This capability comes from the truck’s suite of smart towing technology that’s designed to make your job easier whether you’re towing a boat, the family camper, or a large trailer. Innovative features like Trailer Reverse Steering Control eliminate the stress of parking a trailer by simplifying the process with a Trailer Steering Knob that allows you to control the direction of the trailer using the center touchscreen display while the system controls the 1500’s steering wheel.
Safety when towing is also a top priority on the Ram 1500, and this is why you’ll find available tools like Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring and Trailer Light Check. You can monitor up to 12 trailer tires and four trailers using the Trailer Pressure Monitoring tool, which gives you live pressure readings on the Driver Information Digital Cluster Display. To optimize your visibility, you can engage the Trailer Light Check to ensure your trailer’s lights are working. And, speaking of visibility, you’ll have plenty of that with the available Power-Fold Tow Mirrors and the 360-degree Surround View Camera that uses five cameras to give you a birds-eye view around the truck and trailer. You can add two more cameras using the available Trailer Camera Wiring to further customize your view.
#8 Stay Safe, Stay Secure
There’s no shortage of safety features on the 2021 Ram 1500, which will give you confidence wherever the road takes you. Designed to minimize the potential for collision and enhance your visibility, these features include Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Pedestrian Emergency Braking, and LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist. The Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking gives you more time to react to potential collisions and can easily bring the 1500 to a complete stop to avoid a collision, while the LaneSense tool helps you keep the truck centered in its lane.
You can also take advantage of advanced tools like Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go. Traditional cruise control requires you to monitor the traffic ahead and reset the cruise control based on the flow of traffic. Adaptive Cruise Control streamlines this process by monitoring the traffic for you and adjusting the truck’s cruising speed as needed. If it senses the traffic ahead has slowed, it will apply the brakes to maintain a safe distance.
Fortunately, Ram’s innovation isn’t limited to the highway. You’ll find the 1500 can be equipped with remarkable tools like Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist. This tool controls the truck’s steering and guides you into the designated parking space by giving you cues to engage the right gear and the accelerator or brake pedals. This takes the guesswork out of parking and is especially helpful when paired with tools like the 360-degree Surround View Camera that gives you a clear view of the rear of the truck.
