There are many things to love about RAM trucks—from their powerful engines and towing capabilities to their comfortable interiors. However, one thing that’s often overlooked is just how safe they are. If you’re looking for a safe truck, you should absolutely explore RAM’s options.
11 Important RAM Safety Features
High-Strength Steel Frame
RAM trucks are built with a high-strength steel frame that protects everyone inside. This frame, composed of 98% steel, enhances stability and durability. When you drive a RAM truck, you can rest easy knowing the outer shell is made of some of the strongest materials available.
Airbags
RAM trucks feature airbags throughout the cabin, including:
- Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger, designed to protect the head in a frontal crash.
- Side-impact airbags for the front seats, protecting the torso during side-impact collisions.
- Overhead airbags inside the cabin, protecting passengers in side collisions or rollovers.
Electronic Stability Control and Electronic Roll Mitigation
These features ensure your RAM truck remains secure on the road:
- Electronic stability control senses when you reach the vehicle’s handling limits, reducing engine power and applying certain brakes to help prevent loss of control.
- Electronic roll mitigation reduces wheel lift.
360-Degree Surround View Camera
This camera system helps you see around your truck:
- Standard 360-degree view aids in reversing and merging.
- Trailer surround view assists with navigating when towing.
Blind-Spot Monitoring
This system alerts drivers to objects in their blind spots, significantly reducing the chances of merging accidents.
Rear Cross-Path Detection
Scans the area behind and alongside your truck, helping you maneuver in tight spaces and avoid obstacles.
Forward Collision Warning
Alerts you if you come too close to an object in front, applying the brakes to help avoid an accident.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Adjusts your speed based on the vehicles in front, slowing down or speeding up as needed to maintain a safe distance.
Parking Assist
Simplifies parallel and perpendicular parking by turning the steering wheel for you and prompting when to apply gas or brakes.
Pretensioners
These devices automatically tighten the seatbelts during a collision, securing your body in the safest position.
