Cedar City Ram – Fifth-Wheel Confidence Around Mesquite, NV — Tow Tech That Makes the 2026 Ram 3500 Manageable
Big trailers and tight spaces do not have to be a white-knuckle combination. Around Mesquite, NV, campgrounds, construction sites, and storage lots can be snug, and that’s exactly where the 2026 Ram 3500’s tow technology earns its keep. This heavy-duty platform combines strength with rare precision: available Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you dial trailer direction with a dedicated knob as the truck manages steering inputs; the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera brings a bird’s-eye perspective; and the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration extends your sight down both sides of the rig. Add the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package with a factory-integrated structural crossmember, and you get a secure foundation for heavy pin weights and quick, clean hitch installs.
Tow-day organization starts inside. The available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display places Trailer Tow Pages, tire pressures for up to four trailers via the available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring system, and even brake controller status where you can see it. The available Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen with Uconnect® 5 NAV supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ so guidance and calls stay hands-free, and the available 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display lets your co-pilot cue up camera angles as you back into narrow sites. Pair those screens with a Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension and the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake (diesel) and you’ll feel how the truck settles quickly and maintains composure across uneven pavement, gravel, and inclines.
