Why St. George Drivers Zero In on the 2026 Ram 3500’s Towing Tools
Big trailers, tight trailheads, and crowded boat ramps—St. George, UT puts heavy-duty trucks to the test. The 2026 Ram 3500 steps up with tech that eases the hardest parts of towing, helping you manage long loads with finesse instead of white-knuckle guesswork. It starts with the available Trailer Reverse Steering Control that lets you guide your trailer with a dedicated knob while the truck handles steering inputs, and it’s supported by an available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera that gives you a bird’s-eye perspective when inches matter. Pair that visibility with the available Digital Rearview Mirror’s camera feed and you’ll feel like your trailer finally got a set of eyes.
The payoff is real when you’re sliding into a tight backing lane at a St. George storage yard, sneaking a fifth-wheel into a snug driveway along a hillside neighborhood, or lining up at a boat ramp near Sand Hollow. The Ram 3500’s tow-first tech is designed to save time, reduce stress, and keep your trailer pointed exactly where you want it—even if you’re newer to backing or you’ve graduated to a longer rig this year.
Power You Can Use—And Control
Of course, confidence isn’t just about cameras. It’s about the instant, predictable response you need when hustling a fully loaded trailer onto SR-18 or pulling up a grade. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 pairs with a TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic to deliver up to 1,075 lb-ft of torque and up to 36,610 pounds of maximum available towing capacity. That’s not just headline power—it’s the kind of steady, low-RPM pull that helps you merge decisively and crest hills without hunting for gears. Heavy-duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes and an available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake further support your control on long descents out of the high country.
For drivers who want a dependable gas option, the 6.4L HEMI® V8 provides refined operation, confident throttle response, and serious payload capability. Whether diesel or gas, the Ram 3500’s suspension and steering feel planted and composed, and the Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps your setup maintain a level stance that supports handling, braking, and headlight aim when you’re hitched and loaded.
See More, Stress Less—Displays That Work Hard
Big screens aren’t just for show when you’re towing. The Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen and available 12-inch Digital Cluster are information hubs that simplify your setup and keep you in the loop. Trailer Tow Pages present vital data like Trailer Brake Status and Trailer Light Check, while the available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring can keep tabs on up to four trailers. Add the available 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display and your co-pilot can manage nav suggestions, media, and camera views without stealing focus from the driver.
Together, the displays turn your dash into a well-organized command center. That’s especially helpful when a sudden desert crosswind hits, traffic stops abruptly on I-15, or you want to verify a gate clearance before you commit to a turn. You’re not guessing—you’re informed. And with available 360° Surround View Camera, 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, and the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration, you’ll build a reliable mental model of what’s happening around your truck and trailer at all times.

No single feature makes towing simple—the whole package does.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How does Trailer Reverse Steering Control help?
It inverts the usual backing logic—turn the trailer steering knob the way you want the trailer to go, and the system manages the truck’s steering inputs to match. It reduces overcorrections and shortens the learning curve for longer and tandem-axle trailers.
Can I get camera views around both the truck and the trailer?
Yes. The available 360° Surround View Camera shows the truck’s surroundings, and the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera adds a bird’s-eye perspective around the trailer. When paired with the available Digital Rearview Mirror and side camera integration, visibility is extensive.
Is diesel the only way to tow confidently with Ram 3500?
No. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 is ideal for maximum towing, but the 6.4L HEMI® V8 is a refined, capable gas option for drivers who prioritize payload and steady towing without diesel ownership considerations.
What helps the Ram 3500 stay level when I’m hitched?
The Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps maintain a level stance under load, which can support ride quality, handling, and headlight aim when towing.
Can my co-pilot help with towing tasks from the passenger seat?
With the available 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display, your passenger can handle navigation suggestions, camera views, and media—keeping the driver focused on towing and traffic.
