Don Johnson Auto Group - Better Backing and Big Screens — How the 2026 Ram 2500 Simplifies Trailer Maneuvers around Chippewa Falls, WI If you have ever tried to guide a long trailer into a tight driveway off WI-124 or back a fishing boat down the ramp at Lake Wissota, you know the difference the right tech can make. The 2026 Ram 2500 blends brawn with brains, pairing serious towing muscle with an intuitive interface that reduces stress when space is limited and angles get tricky. This is a closer, practical look at the features that make backing, lining up, and moving with a trailer feel less like a juggling act and more like second nature around Chippewa Falls, WI. Two systems headline the Ram’s trailer-maneuvering toolkit — the available Trailer Reverse Steering Control and the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera. Together, they simplify slow-speed tasks like campsite parking, alleyway access behind a shop, or a tight turn into a storage unit. Factor in the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen and the available Digital Rearview Mirror with tow mode camera, and the 2026 Ram 2500 gives you a clearer picture — literally — of what’s happening around your truck and trailer. The Core Tech That Makes It Easier Trailer Reverse Steering Control: Use the dedicated knob to intuitively guide the trailer while the system manages steering inputs 360° Trailer Surround View Camera: A bird’s-eye perspective around your trailer helps you verify clearances from the driver’s seat Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode Camera: Get a real-time video feed behind your trailer to monitor what’s directly in line Large, readable screen: Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch touchscreen keeps camera feeds and guidance easy to read Tow-specific pages: View Trailer Light Check and Trailer Brake Status right in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display Individually, each of these technologies is helpful. Together, they create an ecosystem that reduces the mental overhead of trailer management. With Trailer Reverse Steering Control, you no longer fight the counter-steering logic that makes new owners second-guess their inputs. The 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and the Digital Rearview Mirror augment your perspective, giving you the confidence to make small, precise corrections without hopping in and out of the cab to check clearances. Real-World Wins around Chippewa Falls Backing down the Lake Wissota ramp on a busy weekend? Use the Digital Rearview Mirror’s tow camera feed to align with the waterline, while the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera confirms side-to-side space as others queue up. Delivering equipment behind a downtown storefront? The Trailer Reverse Steering Control knob makes threading through a narrow alley less of a sweat. Even tight campground sites along the Chippewa River feel more accessible when you can see corner-to-corner around your trailer and steer by aiming the trailer where you want it to go. The point is not just capability — it is reduced friction. When towing tasks turn routine, you spend less time staging setups and more time doing the thing you hauled your boat, camper, or equipment to do in the first place. Step-by-Step: Using Trailer Reverse Steering Control Position truck and trailer: Pull forward so you have enough room to set up the backing angle. Activate the system: On the touchscreen, select the trailer steering function and confirm your trailer profile. Use the control knob: Turn the knob in the direction you want the trailer to go; the system handles the steering wheel. Watch your views: Keep the trailer and 360° camera feeds visible on the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch screen. Make minor adjustments: Use small inputs and confirm side clearance while letting the system do the heavy lifting. Practice builds muscle memory quickly, especially when you can see everything on the large display and verify angles with the bird’s-eye perspective. If you have never used a system like this, we encourage hands-on time — once you try it, you will wonder how you managed without it. Powertrains That Back Up the Tech High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6: Delivers up to 1,075 lb-ft of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque for confident towing 6.4L HEMI® V8: Strong gas option with impressive towing and the quick throttle response many drivers prefer TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed: Smooth, smart shifting that keeps the truck composed at low speeds and on grades Available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension: Class-Exclusive system helps stabilize loads and reduce squat Tow tech works best when the truck’s fundamentals are dialed in. The 2026 Ram 2500 pairs intuitive controls with powertrains that pull hard and manage heat, vibration, and shift quality under load. If your towing is frequent and heavy, the available High-Output Cummins® brings diesel muscle that feels nearly effortless. If you prefer gas responsiveness and haul mixed loads, the 6.4L HEMI® V8 is a confident, proven partner. Add the available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension for more consistent ride height and better aim of your camera views under changing tongue weights. More Tools That Help Every Day Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring: Available live readings for up to four trailers in the 12-inch Digital Cluster Display LED Trailer Hitch Light: Extra illumination where you connect — helpful at early-morning launches Onboard power: Best-in-Class available 2.4-kW inverter to run tools, chargers, or a compressor RamBox® system: Class-Exclusive available lockable, drainable bedside storage to organize straps, chocks, and gloves These conveniences do not make headlines, but they remove friction. That matters on real jobsites and on your driveway when you are packing up for a trip. Fewer steps, fewer trips back inside for missing gear, and fewer pauses to check a setting — that is how the 2026 Ram 2500 saves time across a whole season of towing. Frequently Asked Questions: Can the camera views and trailer steering features work together? Yes. You can keep the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera on the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch screen while using Trailer Reverse Steering Control, so you always see corner-to-corner as you guide the trailer with the control knob. How does the Digital Rearview Mirror help when the trailer blocks the standard mirror? It provides a real-time video feed from a rear-facing camera. When paired with available side mirror cameras and the wired Tow Mode Camera, you can monitor what is behind the trailer and alongside it. Is the Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension worth it for occasional towing? If you regularly switch between no load and a heavy trailer, the Class-Exclusive available system helps keep your truck level, improve ride consistency, and maintain clearer camera angles. It is a smart add-on even if you tow a few times a month. What other features should I consider for easier towing? Look at the available fifth-wheel/gooseneck prep package for quick hook-ups, Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring for safety, and the Snow Plow Prep Package if your winter routine includes clearing lots or long driveways. Our team is here to set up a hands-on demo of these features, walk you through the Uconnect® 5 NAV menus, and help you test the system in a truck configured like the one you want to buy. At Don Johnson Auto Group, we love showing how this tech works in the real world — especially for drivers who spend time around Lake Wissota, downtown Chippewa Falls, and the job corridors off WI-29. If you are comparing options, remember that we are serving Chippewa Falls, New Richmond, and St. Croix Falls with easy access to inventory, test drives, and convenient service. From building the right powertrain to choosing the tow-tech mix that fits your trailer and routes, we have you covered with local know-how and a streamlined process.

Don Johnson Auto Group - Onboard Power and Smart Storage Make the 2026 Ram 2500 a Work-Ready Choice around Barron, WI For many heavy-duty truck shoppers, capability starts with towing numbers, engine strength, and payload capacity. Those details absolutely matter, especially in a truck as powerful as the 2026 Ram 2500. But once the truck is part of daily life, the smaller utility features often become the ones owners appreciate most. That is why the available onboard power systems and available Class-Exclusive RamBox® Cargo Management System deserve a closer look. These features help transform the Ram 2500 from a powerful pickup into a mobile work partner, giving drivers more ways to organize tools, power equipment, secure gear, and move from one task to the next with fewer interruptions. Around Barron County, truck needs can vary from jobsite support and property maintenance to towing recreational equipment and hauling supplies between towns. One day may call for pulling a trailer, while another may involve carrying tools, lumber, outdoor equipment, or supplies for a small business. A heavy-duty truck that can tow confidently is useful, but a truck that can also help keep equipment powered and organized becomes much more valuable. The 2026 Ram 2500 addresses that reality with thoughtful bed technology, cabin flexibility, and practical storage solutions that make sense for drivers who want their truck to work hard without creating extra hassle. Why Onboard Power Matters in a Heavy-Duty Truck The available onboard power system in the 2026 Ram 2500 is designed for drivers who use a truck as more than transportation. Ram offers a 400-watt inverter, and drivers can go even further with Best-in-Class available onboard power through a 2.4-kilowatt inverter. In practical terms, that can help support tools, chargers, lights, and other equipment when a convenient outlet is not nearby. For contractors, property owners, farmers, and outdoor-focused drivers, this type of built-in utility can reduce reliance on separate power sources and help simplify the workday. Consider how often a pickup bed becomes a staging area. Tools need charging, a saw may need power, lighting may be useful during setup, and devices in the cab need to stay ready. Instead of treating the truck as a place to store equipment only, available onboard power lets the truck support the work itself. It is especially helpful when tasks are spread out across multiple locations, such as moving between rural properties, job locations, storage buildings, or community projects. The value is not just the power output; it is the convenience of having that power integrated into the truck you already depend on. RamBox® Cargo Management Adds Secure Everyday Utility The available Class-Exclusive RamBox® Cargo Management System gives the Ram 2500 another layer of functional design. With two lockable, drainable storage bins, LED lighting, a front driver-side 115-volt power outlet, and remote access through the key fob, RamBox® helps keep frequently used items accessible without taking up the main bed floor. That can be a major advantage if you haul larger cargo but still need smaller tools, tow straps, gloves, chargers, tie-downs, or recovery gear within easy reach. For drivers who regularly carry work gear, unsecured cargo can quickly become frustrating. Items slide around, disappear under larger loads, or need to be moved every time the bed is loaded. RamBox® helps solve that by creating dedicated side storage that stays separate from the main cargo area. Since the bins are lockable, important gear can be secured when the truck is parked. Since the bins are drainable, drivers can also use them for items that may be wet or dirty without treating the entire bed as a catch-all. This is the kind of feature that sounds simple at first, then becomes difficult to give up once it is part of your routine. How These Features Support Towing and Jobsite Efficiency The 2026 Ram 2500 is already built for serious towing, with available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 power, the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, up to 1,075 pound-feet of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque, and up to 20,000 pounds of available diesel towing capacity when properly equipped. Features such as available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, available fifth-wheel/gooseneck prep, and available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera can help drivers manage trailers with greater awareness. Onboard power and RamBox® storage complement those towing systems by keeping trailer-related tools and accessories close at hand. That matters because towing rarely involves the trailer alone. You may need safety chains, hitch tools, electrical adapters, gloves, straps, wheel chocks, air pressure tools, or a portable device charger. With smart storage, those items have a dedicated place. With available onboard power, your truck can support certain powered tools and devices at the destination. For drivers serving New Richmond, St. Croix Falls, and Barron, this combination can be useful across a wide range of tasks, from hauling equipment to managing property projects or supporting a business fleet. Interior Technology Keeps the Workday Organized The truck bed is not the only place where the 2026 Ram 2500 shows its intelligence. Inside, available Uconnect® 5 NAV can create up to five driver profiles, display tow-specific navigation, and connect to available Ram Connect Services. The Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen gives drivers a broad, clear view of navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings, while the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display can show important information such as Trailer Tow Pages, gauge summaries, safety alerts, and vehicle diagnostics. This matters for anyone who uses a truck to manage a busy schedule. Instead of juggling separate systems, the Ram 2500 brings more information into the driver’s line of sight. Available Trailer Tow Pages can help with Trailer Light Check and Trailer Brake Status, while available Off-Road Pages can show pitch, roll, traction control information, gear shifting, and other vehicle dynamics. When paired with smart storage and onboard power, the cabin technology helps create a more complete mobile workspace. Don Johnson Auto Group can help shoppers compare available configurations and determine which technology and utility features best match the way the truck will be used. Features Worth Considering Together Available onboard power: Choose from a 400-watt inverter or available 2.4-kilowatt inverter capability for added jobsite usefulness. Available RamBox® Cargo Management System: Secure, lockable, drainable side bins help organize tools and trailer gear. Available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display: View navigation, trailer details, safety alerts, and diagnostics with full-color graphics. Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control: Use the trailer steering knob while the system controls the truck’s steering wheel during reverse maneuvers. Available Digital Rearview Mirror: Add real-time camera visibility, including available side camera integration for trailer awareness. Frequently Asked Questions: Is the available RamBox® Cargo Management System useful if I tow often? Yes. It can be especially helpful for storing hitch accessories, gloves, straps, adapters, and tools without sacrificing the main bed floor for larger cargo. Does onboard power replace a generator? The available onboard power system can support many practical tasks, but whether it replaces a generator depends on the equipment you plan to use and its power requirements. Can I combine RamBox® with other bed features? Available configurations can vary, so it is smart to review trim, bed length, packages, and accessory compatibility before choosing a build. Why focus on utility features instead of just towing capacity? Towing capacity is important, but everyday usability determines how convenient the truck feels. Storage, power access, camera views, and digital tools all make the truck easier to live with. The 2026 Ram 2500 stands out because it does not treat strength and practicality as separate ideas. Its available diesel torque, heavy-duty braking, available towing technologies, and standard Snow Plow Prep Package create the capability foundation buyers expect from a Ram Heavy Duty truck. At the same time, available onboard power, available RamBox® storage, accessible exterior elements, LED bed lighting, available power side running boards, and available Mopar® bed step make the truck easier to use once the work begins. If you are comparing heavy-duty pickups, pay close attention to how the truck supports your routine after the trailer is connected and the cargo is loaded. The right truck should help you work cleaner, organize better, move confidently, and spend less time searching for the gear you need. With smart utility features built around real-world use, the 2026 Ram 2500 offers a compelling combination of strength, technology, and practical design for drivers who expect their truck to be ready for more than one kind of day.

Don Johnson Auto Group - Smart Towing Tech and Everyday Confidence in the 2026 RAM 2500 around New Richmond, WI When you tow regularly—whether that’s gear out to Willow River State Park, a work trailer along WI-64, or a camper for weekend escapes—visibility and control matter as much as raw power. That is where the 2026 RAM 2500’s integrated towing technology quietly changes the entire experience. It is not just about the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 and its 1,075 lb-ft of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque, impressive as that is. It is also the confidence of dialing in your trailer direction with available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, the clarity of the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, and the reassurance of live trailer tire readings with available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring. New Richmond drivers want capability, but they also want an easier day. This truck speaks that language. How camera views and displays cut through the noise Mirrors are essential, but mirrors alone can leave you guessing around the trailer’s corners. The RAM 2500 solves this in layers. Start with the available Digital Rearview Mirror, which can stream from a rear-facing camera to provide an unobstructed view—even with a tall trailer in tow. Pair it with the available exterior mirror cameras and the wired Tow Mode Camera for left-right-and-behind trailer visibility that makes lane changes on US-65 near Roberts or merges through Hudson far less stressful. Then add the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, which stitches feeds together for a bird’s-eye perspective of your truck and trailer. With this system, navigating a crowded trailhead lot or backing into a tight storage bay in New Richmond is simply more manageable. What ties it together is the RAM 2500’s screen real estate. The available Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch touchscreen presents big, easy-to-read views and Trailer Tow Pages without burying menus. Meanwhile, the available 12-inch Digital Cluster can display trailer brake status, light checks, and tow-specific information directly within your line of sight. Instead of fumbling through settings or relying on guesswork, you can glance, adjust, and go. Backing a trailer, simplified Ask anyone who regularly backs a trailer into a tight driveway or boat launch—the steering inputs can feel counterintuitive and the margin for error is small. The available Trailer Reverse Steering Control in the 2026 RAM 2500 puts a trailer steering knob at your fingertips. Turn the knob in the direction you want the trailer to go, and the system manages the truck’s steering. This instantly lowers the learning curve and can save you multiple “pull-up and try again” attempts. For New Richmond families who split driving duty on weekend trips, it is a game changer—especially when you combine it with the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and real-time guidance on the huge touchscreen. Plus, when you are working alone, the available LED Trailer Hitch Light integrated into the tailgate handle area makes late pickups and early starts easier. Line up, confirm with the camera, and get rolling without a spotter. It is a small touch that pays dividends in the real world. Power is the foundation—control is the multiplier Of course, none of the tech replaces strength. The 2026 RAM 2500 offers up to 20,000 pounds of maximum available diesel towing and pairs the High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 with the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic for broad, confident torque delivery. But what makes this truck stand out for New Richmond drivers is how power and control are integrated. The available Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps keep the truck level under load to aid stability and headlight aim. Heavy-duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes provide serious stopping power, and the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake helps manage downhill speeds with a heavy trailer. Those are the long-haul benefits you feel on the way to a cabin beyond Somerset or when you are returning with a full trailer and crosswinds off the river. Fewer corrections, more composure, and a setup that lets you relax a bit more behind the wheel. Everyday ease in and around town Between tows, the RAM 2500’s cabin earns its keep. The available Class-Exclusive dual wireless charging pads are great for keeping phones topped off between jobsite stops. The available 900-watt Harman Kardon® audio elevates daily commutes down Knowles Avenue, and the available RamBox® Cargo Management System makes it simple to stash tie-downs, tow straps, and a few essential tools in lockable, drainable bed-side bins. If you haul crews, Mega Cab® models with available Class-Exclusive Reclining and Forward Fold-Flat Rear Seats make it easy to balance people and gear without a full re-pack. Driver-assistance is equally thoughtful. Class-Exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control that can function even with a trailer attached, available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, available Drowsy Driver Detection, and available Traffic Sign Recognition all add up to a truck that has your back—from WI-64 to county roads out by Boardman. Helpful tips for local shoppers dialing in their setup Match your trailer weight: Know your fully loaded trailer weight and select the engine and axle ratio accordingly to maintain a buffer under your max towing rating. Prioritize visibility: If you frequently park or back in tight spaces, budget for the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and Digital Rearview Mirror. Balance bed length and range: If you need long-run fueling, consider the Crew Cab 8-foot bed for the available 50-gallon tank. Plan for winter work: Standard Snow Plow Prep—with 220-amp alternator and plow wiring—streamlines upfitting if you maintain driveways or lots around New Richmond. For many shoppers, a smart place to start is a test drive configured with Tow Tech features. Bring your typical trailer specs and payload details. Our team can walk you through the screens, illustrate how Trailer Reverse Steering Control operates, and show the camera overlays so you see exactly how the system behaves on a real loop near Paperjack Park or along County Road A. Frequently Asked Questions: Can the RAM 2500 display trailer tire pressures while driving? Yes. The available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring system can provide live readings for up to four trailers, viewable on the available 12-inch Digital Cluster. Does the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera work with fifth-wheel or gooseneck setups? Yes, the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera is designed to add visibility around many trailer types. Pair it with the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package for a factory-ready, heavy-haul setup. What if I am new to backing trailers—will the steering knob really help? For most drivers, yes. The available Trailer Reverse Steering Control translates your intended trailer direction into precise truck steering, reducing overcorrections and the need for multiple pull-ups. Which display setup is best if I tow often? We recommend the available 14.5-inch touchscreen and the available 12-inch Digital Cluster. Together, they let you keep cameras, Trailer Tow Pages, and navigation in view without juggling menus. At the end of the day, tech should simplify—not complicate—towing. The 2026 RAM 2500’s suite of camera views, Trailer Reverse Steering Control, and in-cluster Trailer Tow Pages does exactly that while leaving you with the power and braking backbone you want in a heavy-duty truck. If your New Richmond routine includes regular hauling, this is a setup you will feel good about on day one and day 1,001. Don Johnson Auto Group is serving New Richmond, St. Croix Falls, and Barron with a team ready to tailor the right RAM 2500 configuration for your work and weekends.

Don Johnson Auto Group - Why the 2026 Ram 2500’s Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch Touchscreen is Ideal for Barron, WI Drivers If you’re towing, hauling, or juggling a workday that takes you from County Highway SS to project sites on short notice, screen real estate matters. The 2026 Ram 2500 offers an available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen—the largest in its class—and it’s more than a bragging right. The layout, speed, and way it connects with the 12-inch Digital Cluster Display create a dashboard command center that streamlines everyday tasks in and around Barron, WI. Think about how often you need to switch between camera views, trailering settings, navigation, and your favorite apps. On the Ram 2500, Uconnect® 5 NAV spreads these essentials across a bright, high-resolution canvas. The result? Fewer taps, clearer icons, and tow-specific details that feel exactly where your eyes expect them to be. It’s not just bigger—it’s designed to be faster, more intuitive, and downright helpful when you’re balancing a full day. A clearer view of towing and trailering Hookups and maneuvering get easier with the way Ram integrates towing tools on that massive touchscreen. Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control gives you a dedicated knob to guide the trailer’s direction while the system manages the truck’s steering—excellent when backing near shop doors or tight alleys. Then, the available 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera overlays your immediate surroundings. With the screen’s size, camera feeds are more legible and the detail you need is easier to spot. It’s also the small things that add up: Trailer Tow Pages consolidate your Trailer Brake Status and Trailer Light Check, while available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring populates readings to the cluster for at-a-glance assurance. When you’re making a quick morning connection or setting up for a late-day haul, the system helps you move faster and more confidently. Driver information where it belongs The available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display lets you promote key readouts—tow/haul indicators, trailer brake gain, a compass for backroad runs—so vital info lives inside your natural sightline. On the center screen, keep navigation and camera views visible. On the cluster, keep stats top-of-mind. This dual-display synergy reduces toggling and helps you stay focused on what your hands and mirrors are telling you. Pair this with the available Digital Rearview Mirror, which can present a video feed behind the truck, and the available exterior mirror camera views to the left and right of your trailer. It’s a broader perspective that eases lane changes on US-8 and helps when you’re threading through town on short-notice deliveries. Everyday connectivity without the cables Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ make it simple to keep calls, music, and podcasts at your fingertips without adding clutter to the console. The available Class-Exclusive dual wireless charging pads mean your phone and a coworker’s device can recharge at the same time—a nice touch on longer days or when you’re sharing the truck. And if you’re spending long stretches on the road, the available 900-watt Harman Kardon® premium audio and Interior Active Noise Cancellation help keep the cab calm. Even at lower volumes, spoken instructions and calls sound clearer, which is exactly what you want when you’re juggling logistics and waypoints. Screen size that supports real work One of the unsung heroes of the Ram 2500’s tech package is how the touchscreen pairs with work-friendly hardware throughout the truck. Best-in-Class available 2.4-kW onboard power lets you run tools and charge gear at job sites. The Class-Exclusive available RamBox® Cargo Management System keeps essentials secure and accessible. And for drivers who frequently load and unload, the available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps maintain a consistent hitch height for repeatable setups. That’s the “bigger story” of a bigger screen. It’s not just about scale—it’s how the interface ties together the Ram 2500’s strength, storage, and power solutions so it all works like a single system rather than a set of bolt-on features. Why Barron drivers notice the difference In a place where you might move from errands on LaSalle Avenue to a quick pull onto farmland or a stop by Red Cedar River trails, having a truck that adapts quickly is a real advantage. Tap into the available 14.5-inch screen for crisp camera feeds when backing a trailer, glance at the cluster for tire pressures and light checks, and keep navigation zoomed further out so you can read the road network at a glance. The interface encourages a smoother rhythm to the day. From a safety perspective, pairing that visibility with systems like Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking and available Adaptive Cruise Control, LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, and available Drowsy Driver Detection helps make longer routes more manageable. When tech and power complement each other, you notice it in how relaxed you feel at day’s end. What about the competition? Rivals bring strong credentials, but this is where the Ram’s integrated approach shines. The Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch touchscreen consolidates towing and navigation in a way that feels less fragmented than smaller displays. Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control reduces the learning curve for less experienced drivers and saves time for veterans. When you add Best-in-Class available 1,075 lb-ft of base diesel torque from the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 and the available 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera, the package looks and feels comprehensive. And don’t overlook daily convenience: the available 50-gallon fuel tank on Crew Cab 8-foot-bed models stretches intervals between stops, while the LED Trailer Hitch Light adds visibility when conditions are dim. It’s the unglamorous-but-crucial layer that, once you have it, you never want to give up. Frequently Asked Questions: Can I view multiple camera angles at the same time on the 14.5-inch screen? The system makes switching among available views quick and clear, including the 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera, exterior mirror cameras, and the available wired Tow Mode Camera. The larger canvas helps you identify obstacles faster as you toggle. What towing tools show up on the cluster versus the center screen? Tow-specific data like Trailer Brake Status and select Trailer Tow Pages can appear in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display, while the center screen manages wider-angle camera feeds, navigation, and media—so you can divide and conquer information. Does the big screen help when backing to a gooseneck or fifth-wheel? Yes. The available camera suite and the clarity of the large display help you align precisely. And if you add available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, the knob-based input simplifies backing maneuvers with a bumper-pull trailer, reducing stress in tight spaces. How does the screen help on regular workdays without a trailer? It streamlines your routine—bigger maps, quicker access to frequently used menus, and cleaner integration with wireless smartphone mirroring. Add available onboard power and RamBox® storage, and your tools, chargers, and tech are all in sync. When you’re ready to see how the 2026 Ram 2500’s display strategy plays out in real life, our team can set up a focused test drive that highlights trailering tools, cluster customization, and the camera integrations you’ll use most.

Don Johnson Auto Group - Can I order a 2026 Ram 2500 with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch near Chippewa Falls, WI? Drivers who haul fifth-wheel campers to Lake Wissota, pull gooseneck equipment trailers along WI-29, or move livestock around the Eau Claire region want a heavy-duty pickup that is truly trailer-ready. At Don Johnson Auto Group, we help shoppers near Chippewa Falls, WI, configure the 2026 Ram 2500 for confident fifth-wheel or gooseneck towing from day one, and that starts with understanding what the factory prep package includes, why it matters, and how to choose the right setup for your trailer and bed length. What does the factory prep actually include? The 2026 Ram 2500 offers an available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package that builds in the structure you need for heavy trailers. This package includes a factory-installed rear-axle structural crossmember with integrated mounting hardware that can be paired with a compatible hitch for quick and easy towing. Because it is engineered into the truck at the factory, you get clean, precisely located attachment points, robust under-bed reinforcement, and bed hardware designed to work with popular fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitches without a maze of aftermarket brackets. Beyond the hard points, Ram surrounds you with advanced towing tech that eases hookup and maneuvering with large trailers. Available features like Trailer Reverse Steering Control, 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, Trailer Tow Pages in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display, and available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring all work together to reduce stress when you are backing into a campsite near Lake Wissota or threading through tight lots in downtown Chippewa Falls. Why the 2026 Ram 2500 is a strong match for fifth-wheel and gooseneck duty The 2026 Ram 2500 is built for big-league tasks. When properly equipped with the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 and TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, Ram cites up to 20,000 pounds maximum available diesel towing capacity, along with Best-in-Class available base diesel torque of up to 1,075 lb-ft. That torque matters when you are pulling a tall fifth-wheel up the hills west of the Chippewa River or merging onto US-53 with a loaded gooseneck equipment trailer in tow. Stopping and stability are just as important. Ram Heavy Duty pickups bring heavy-duty four-wheel disc Antilock Brakes and an available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake to help modulate downhill speed with a heavy trailer. The available Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension can help promote a level stance and consistent control when the pin weight drops into the bed, and the available 50-gallon fuel tank on Crew Cab 8-foot-bed models reduces fuel stops on long weekend hauls across northern Wisconsin. Fifth-wheel vs. gooseneck — which one should you choose? Picking between a fifth-wheel and a gooseneck setup is less about the truck and more about your trailer type and how you will use it. Here is a quick way to think about it before you stop by our Rice Lake, Hayward, or Cumberland stores for a hands-on consult. Fifth-wheel RV trailers: Most travel and toy-hauler fifth-wheels use a kingpin and hitch plate for a steady, fore-aft controlled connection and a smooth ride, making them a popular choice for campers near Chippewa Falls who prioritize high-speed stability on WI-29 and I-94. Gooseneck equipment and livestock trailers: Many flatbed, dump, and livestock trailers use a ball-in-bed gooseneck connection that is durable, simple to couple, and often allows tighter turning radii when navigating farm lanes around Bloomer or the Lake Wissota State Park access roads. Bed space and versatility: Gooseneck balls typically remove or flip down for a flatter bed when not towing, while many fifth-wheel hitches are quick-release but still occupy more space. Think about bed utility if you routinely load lumber, ATVs, or salt spreaders. Whichever direction you go, the factory prep package gives you the foundation for both, so you can switch later if your needs change. Short bed or long bed — does bed length matter for a fifth-wheel? Yes, and we will help you choose the right combination. Many fifth-wheel RVs require extra cab-to-trailer clearance on tight turns, which is why short-bed trucks often pair best with a sliding fifth-wheel hitch. Long-bed trucks typically allow fixed hitches and make it easier to distribute weight and maintain clearance between the trailer overhang and the cab. The factory Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package supports both approaches; the key is matching hitch style and trailer nose design to your bed length and use case. For gooseneck setups, bed length is less critical because the ball sits closer to the axle centerline, which helps with turning clearance. Still, our team will measure your trailer coupler height, recommend the right ball height, and set you up with the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration and wired Tow Mode Camera to keep an eye on the connection as you maneuver. How the Ram 2500’s towing tech reduces real-world stress Hooking up and managing a large trailer in everyday Chippewa Falls driving is far easier in the 2026 Ram 2500 thanks to its integrated tech suite. The available 360° Surround View Camera and 360° Trailer Surround View Camera provide a bird’s-eye perspective of the truck and trailer. Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you use a dedicated knob to guide the trailer while the system manages truck steering — perfect for threading into a narrow campsite or backing to a dock on the Chippewa River. Inside, the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen with available Uconnect® 5 NAV complements the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. Trailer Tow Pages bring critical data like Trailer Brake Status and Trailer Light Check right into your line of sight, and available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring can display live readings for up to four trailers. Add the Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors with telescopic function and available mirror-mounted cameras for exceptional visibility down the sides of wide-body RVs or stock trailers. Payload, pin weight, and staying within your limits Every truck and trailer combination is unique, which is why we always verify numbers together before you tow. Fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers shift more weight into the bed — the pin or ball load. As a rule of thumb, many RV fifth-wheels place roughly 15 percent to 25 percent of trailer weight on the pin, and many goosenecks run in a similar range. That load counts against your truck’s available payload, which varies by configuration. The 2026 Ram 2500 lineup offers robust published capacities — including a maximum available diesel towing capacity of up to 20,000 pounds and strong payload figures when properly equipped — but the label on your truck’s door jamb is the final authority for your specific build. When you visit us, we will help you read the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), front and rear Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR), and payload rating on the certification label, then cross-check your trailer’s actual loaded weights. We can also help you select the available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension for consistent ride height under pin weight and review maintenance best practices for heavy towing, from transmission service intervals to brake inspections. Must-have add-ons for Chippewa Falls owners who tow Most fifth-wheel and gooseneck owners around Chippewa Falls quickly appreciate a few thoughtful upgrades that make life easier every day. Based on what we see on local roads, these are the options our team recommends considering with your factory prep. Digital visibility: The available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration and wired Tow Mode Camera removes guesswork when merging on WI-29 or navigating tight campground loops. Air suspension assist: The available Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps maintain a level stance with changing cargo loads and pin weights. Integrated trailer data: Trailer Tow Pages and available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring keep critical information front and center on the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. 360-degree awareness: The available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera provides a bird’s-eye view around the truck and trailer to spot obstacles before they become problems. Lighting and mirrors: The LED Trailer Hitch Light and Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors help with low-light hookups and wide-load sightlines. Long-haul convenience: The available 50-gallon fuel tank on Crew Cab 8-foot-bed models reduces fuel stops on longer towing days between Chippewa Falls and the Northwoods. We can set these up when you order, or we can install them after delivery through our service teams in Rice Lake, Hayward, and Cumberland. Our Concierge Service offers complimentary pickup and delivery for many service needs, so you can keep working while we complete your upgrades.

If you are new to heavy towing, we can also schedule a one-on-one technology refresher, so you leave confident using Uconnect®, Trailer Reverse Steering Control, and your camera views on day one.

Frequently Asked Questions: Does the 2026 Ram 2500 include a factory puck system for fifth-wheel and gooseneck towing? The available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package integrates a reinforced rear-axle crossmember and mounting hardware designed for compatible fifth-wheel hitches and a center gooseneck ball. It is engineered at the factory for strength and ease of use. What is the maximum towing capacity I should plan around for a 2026 Ram 2500? When properly equipped with the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6, Ram cites up to 20,000 pounds maximum available diesel towing capacity. Your exact rating depends on configuration, so we will verify your specific build against your trailer’s loaded weight. Do I need a sliding fifth-wheel hitch with a short-bed Ram 2500? Many short-bed combinations benefit from a sliding hitch to maintain clearance between the trailer overhang and the cab on tight turns. We will review your trailer’s nose design and the bed length you choose to recommend the right hitch solution. Can I use RamBox® with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck setup? The Class-Exclusive available RamBox® Cargo Management System increases bed utility, but compatibility can vary by hitch and bed accessories. We will check your specific hitch brand and bed layout to ensure proper fit and clearance. Which towing tech is most helpful for fifth-wheel owners around Chippewa Falls? The available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, Trailer Reverse Steering Control, Trailer Tow Pages with Trailer Light Check, and available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring are standouts. Many shoppers also appreciate the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration for improved lane changes and merging on WI-29.

Don Johnson Auto Group - How much can the 2026 Ram 2500 tow around Superior, WI? If you are weighing a new heavy-duty pickup for work, trails, or weekends at the lake, understanding real towing capability is step one. Here is a clear, local-friendly guide to how much the 2026 Ram 2500 can tow around Superior, WI, what equipment influences the numbers, and which tech makes trailering less stressful on busy roads and in tight driveways. Let’s start with the headline figures. When properly equipped with the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 and TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, the 2026 Ram 2500 delivers up to 20,000 lbs of maximum available diesel towing. Prefer gas power. Properly equipped gas models can tow up to 17,750 lbs and deliver a maximum gas payload of up to 3,930 lbs. These are serious numbers for drivers pulling enclosed work trailers down Highway 2, hauling a camper to the Apostle Islands area, or taking a boat to one of the nearby inland lakes. Beyond raw power, control is what separates a good towing day from a great one. Available Heavy-Duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes help provide steady stopping, while the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake assists on long descents so your service brakes can stay cooler. You will also find Trailer Reverse Steering Control, which lets you use a simple knob to steer the trailer while the truck manages steering inputs. Pair that with the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, and you get a bird’s-eye perspective of the rig and obstacles around you. Visibility is confidence when towing near cross streets, construction zones, and trailhead parking lots. The available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration provides live video from a rear-facing camera; when paired with the available exterior mirror cameras, it can show left and right views down your trailer. Add the wired Tow Mode Camera for a clear view behind the trailer itself. Available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring keeps tabs on tire pressure for up to four trailers, displaying readings in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display so you can make informed decisions before and during your trip. On the highway, stability is key. The Class-Exclusive Available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension can help maintain ride height and composure when the truck is loaded, contributing to a more planted driving feel. And for long routes between Superior and beyond, the available 50-gallon fuel tank on Crew Cab models with an 8-foot bed reduces stops, making it easier to keep your day on schedule. Not every day is the same, and that is where a well-chosen tow package pays off. If you plan to run a fifth-wheel or gooseneck, the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package provides a factory-installed rear-axle structural crossmember with integrated mounting hardware for quick, clean hitch integration. For owners who swap between multiple trailers, available Trailer Tow Pages in the 12-inch Digital Cluster Display make it simple to check lights and brake status. Let’s talk engines in practical terms. Drivers who frequently tow at or near the upper limits, or who run long stretches with headwinds and grades, generally prefer the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 for its 1,075 lb-ft of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque and calm, low-vibration character. If your days are split between payload in the bed, moderate towing, and commuting, the 6.4L HEMI® V8 offers a compelling balance of responsiveness, simplicity, and strong gas tow ratings. Both powertrains pair with software-tuned shifting for smooth control under load. Inside the cabin, the available Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch touchscreen with Uconnect® 5 NAV and the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display help keep the towing experience organized. Create driver profiles, use tow-specific navigation to route around restrictions, and keep key stats in view. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility simplify your setup, and available dual wireless charging pads with ventilation keep your devices cool and ready. Finally, set yourself up for success at delivery. Work with your product specialist to confirm your trailer’s weight, tongue or pin weight, and brake setup. Choose mirrors that support your trailer width and add the available LED Trailer Hitch Light for easier evening hookups. If you regularly tow in tight spaces, prioritize the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and Trailer Reverse Steering Control. For longer workdays with tools or camping gear, consider the Class-Exclusive Available RamBox® Cargo Management System and Best-in-Class Available Onboard Power up to 2.4 kW to run accessories and small tools. Frequently Asked Questions: What is the maximum towing capacity for the 2026 Ram 2500? When properly equipped with the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6, the 2026 Ram 2500 offers up to 20,000 lbs of maximum available diesel towing. Gas models can tow up to 17,750 lbs when properly equipped. Your exact rating depends on engine, cab, bed, axle ratio, and installed packages. Which features help most when backing a trailer near boat ramps or driveways? Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control is a standout for confident backing, and the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera adds a top-down perspective that shows obstacles. The available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration also helps by displaying left and right views down your trailer. Can I monitor multiple trailer tire pressures from the driver's seat? Yes. Available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring can display live tire pressure readings for up to four trailers in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display.

Don Johnson Auto Group - Towing Confidence around St. Croix Falls, WI - How the 2026 Ram 2500’s Camera Views and Trailer Steering Assist Make Hauling Easier Ask anyone who tows regularly around St. Croix Falls, WI and you’ll hear two recurring needs: clear visibility and precise control. The 2026 Ram 2500 brings both to the forefront with smart trailering technology that helps reduce stress and improve confidence when you’ve got a heavy load on WI-35, pulling up to a launch on the St. Croix River, or easing into a tight driveway off US-8. This isn’t gimmicky tech. It’s an integrated system of cameras, displays, and controls designed to make real-world towing simpler and safer. Two standouts lead the way: the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and Trailer Reverse Steering Control. Together, they transform how you monitor your trailer and how you maneuver in reverse. Add the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration, and you’ll feel like you’ve given yourself an extra set of eyes—left, right, and directly behind the trailer—all feeding into crisp displays that make situational awareness second nature. If you’ve ever had to back a long trailer down a narrow side street or into a storage bay after a long day, you’ll appreciate how quickly these tools pay for themselves in reduced time and fewer do-overs. Here’s what makes the 2026 Ram 2500’s trailering tech so effective when driving, hooking up, and backing into a tight spot: 360° Trailer Surround View Camera: Provides a bird’s-eye perspective of the truck and trailer, helping you judge curbs, cones, and obstacles when parking or navigating crowded sites. Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration: Streams real-time video behind the truck, and when paired with available exterior mirror cameras and the wired Tow Mode Camera, shows left, right, and behind-trailer views. Trailer Reverse Steering Control: Lets you guide trailer direction with a dedicated knob while the system turns the truck’s steering wheel to match your input—great for precise positioning. Trailer Tow Pages in the 12-inch Digital Cluster: Surfaces key trailering info like Trailer Brake Status and Trailer Light Check where you can see it at a glance. Available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring: Displays live readings for up to four trailers right in the cluster, a smart way to keep tabs on stability as loads and temps change. Backing with a trailer is where most drivers get flustered, especially with limited sightlines or when spectators are waiting. Trailer Reverse Steering Control helps you focus on the trailer’s path instead of countersteering the truck in your head. Turn the knob toward where you want the trailer to go, and the system manages the truck’s wheel to achieve that line. It’s intuitive in a way that feels almost surprising the first time you try it—especially on a boat ramp or when threading between trailers at a storage yard on a busy Saturday. Visibility is the other half of the equation. The available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and Digital Rearview Mirror do more than show you what’s behind; they show you the bigger picture. The top-down view is incredibly helpful around curbs, tight yards, or obstructions at a construction entrance. Meanwhile, live video in the Digital Rearview Mirror maintains a steady horizon line behind the trailer, unlike a standard mirror view that can be blocked entirely. When you’re merging onto a two-lane or anticipating a turn with close traffic, those expanded views buy you a little extra time to plan and execute. The 2026 Ram 2500’s trailering tech also pairs with the systems that support safer travel. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking can apply the brakes—even with a trailer attached—if it detects a likely collision ahead. Available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist helps guide the truck back to center if you drift. Available Traffic Sign Recognition can display the last speed limit on your cluster, which is helpful as you transition between rural and residential zones around the outer edges of town. To keep your day flowing on the jobsite or at the campsite, the 2026 Ram 2500 also offers onboard power options. An available 400-watt inverter is handy for charging tools in the cab, and the Best-in-Class Available Onboard Power 2.4-kilowatt inverter in the bed can run bigger gear without hauling a separate generator. If you’re setting up at a site along the river or tackling punch-list tasks outside a barn, having plug-in power in the bed makes life easier. Not sure which mirrors, cameras, and packages are right for your setup? Here are a few scenarios and the options to consider: Towing a longer camper: Opt for Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors with camera integration and the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera for more complete side and rear perspectives. Frequent tight-space parking: Add Trailer Reverse Steering Control and the Digital Rearview Mirror to make backing and lane changes calmer and faster. Multiple trailers in rotation: Consider the Tow Tech Package for Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring and keep individual profiles in your available Uconnect® 5 NAV system for quick setup. Jobsite flexibility: Choose the 2.4-kilowatt onboard power option and RamBox® Cargo Management System to keep essentials secure and plug-and-play tools ready. Frequently Asked Questions: How does Trailer Reverse Steering Control work on the 2026 Ram 2500? Use the dedicated trailer steering knob to point the trailer where you want it to go; the system turns the truck’s steering wheel to achieve your input, reducing the guesswork of countersteering in reverse. What’s the benefit of the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera? It gives you a composite, bird’s-eye view of the truck and trailer, making it easier to judge distances, spot obstacles, and maneuver in crowded lots or narrow driveways. Can the Digital Rearview Mirror help with lane changes while towing? Yes. With available side camera integration and the wired Tow Mode Camera, it can show left, right, and behind-trailer views, helping you check lanes and merge more confidently. Do I need special mirrors for wide trailers? The Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors extend and retract, include forward and reverse spotter functionality, and integrate with available cameras to improve visibility around wide loads. Is onboard power strong enough to run tools? Yes. The available 400-watt inverter handles smaller devices, while the Best-in-Class Available Onboard Power 2.4-kilowatt inverter in the bed supports more demanding tools and equipment. For drivers who tow locally, the right tech can turn tough situations into routine tasks. If you’re mapping routes that crisscross township roads, backing a boat toward the St. Croix, or easing horse trailers into tight barns, these systems add calm and clarity. The 2026 Ram 2500 simply gives you more ways to see, plan, and move—without overcomplicating the process. That leaves you free to focus on the work or the weekend ahead. Ready to tailor a Ram 2500 for your trailers and routines?
