Does the 2026 Ram 1500’s Towing Technology Make Daily Hauling Easier around Junction City, KS?

Marshall Motor Company – Does the 2026 Ram 1500’s Towing Technology Make Daily Hauling Easier around Junction City, KS?

Drivers who tow regularly want more than numbers on a spec sheet—they want tools that simplify hitching, monitoring, and maneuvering in the real world. Ram describes the latest model as the Most Technologically Advanced Ram 1500 Ever and notes it brings the Most Available Towing Technology Features Ever Offered on Ram 1500. If your routine involves hooking up equipment, hauling a camper, or navigating tight staging areas, these upgrades can make a meaningful day-to-day difference.

First, let’s frame capability. When properly equipped, maximum available towing reaches 11,610 lb and maximum available payload is 2,360 lb. Powertrain choices include two available 3.0L Hurricane Engines, the newly available 5.7L HEMI® V8, and the proven 3.6L Pentastar® V6—so you can tailor performance to your loads. The right engine and axle setup get you in the ballpark, but technology is what helps you use that capacity with confidence, especially when conditions change mid-trip or you must make quick decisions in congested areas around construction zones or boat ramps.

Inside, over 50 inches of combined available digital displays bring key data into crisp focus. With larger screen real estate, tow-specific pages and camera views are easier to read at a glance, supporting better situational awareness. Uconnect® Systems tie it together so you can access the information you need without rummaging through menus, while clearly presented lane guidance and map data reduce uncertainty on unfamiliar roads. The overall effect is less strain and fewer surprises throughout a tow day.

Ram’s driver-assist technologies can also play a role in making longer hauls less tiring. Available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist (ADA) is engineered to help on compatible highways, easing the workload on long stretches. That matters when you arrive at the campground or job site fresher and more focused on tasks like leveling, loading, or backing the trailer into a tight bay. Add the composure from refined chassis tuning, and the truck feels settled while maintaining steady control when winds pick up or traffic flows unevenly.

Out back, smart utility completes the picture. Clear access to tie-downs, sensible lighting, and tidy cable routing points all help you connect quickly and check equipment efficiently before rolling out. Even simple touches—like organized storage for hitches, straps, and gloves—save time on the clock and make the process consistent from trip to trip. In practice, that consistency is what keeps hauling days smooth, whether you are heading across town or crossing county lines.

If you want a distinctive look along with towing prowess, the Black Express Edition brings 20-Inch Black Aluminum Wheels, Body Color Bumpers, a Sport Performance Hood, Mopar® Black Tubular Side Steps, All-Black Accents, a 7-Inch Digital Cluster Display, and Black Cloth Front Bucket Seats. It is a cohesive appearance package that pairs well with the truck’s confident stance and capability.

Together, these elements explain why so many local shoppers place the truck high on their list. The numbers are strong, but the technology and thoughtful design are what transform those numbers into stress-reducing confidence. When it is time to compare trims and setups, we are ready to align engines, axle ratios, and available towing features with your specific trailer and routes.
