Do You Need the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera on the 2026 Ram 2500 around Salina, KS?

Marshall Motor Company – Do You Need the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera on the 2026 Ram 2500 around Salina, KS?

Backing a long trailer into a narrow driveway or weaving through a crowded jobsite isn’t guesswork when your truck is equipped with the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera. If you’re considering the 2026 Ram 2500 for work or recreation around Salina, KS, this upgrade deserves a close look because it can transform low-speed maneuvering from stressful to straightforward.

For many drivers, a standard rearview backup camera offers a single perspective. The 360° Trailer Surround View Camera goes far beyond, stitching multiple camera feeds into a bird’s-eye view around your truck and trailer. That overhead perspective reveals obstacles that hide in mirrors and provides visual context for your trailer’s path. When paired with the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration, you can also see down the left and right sides of your trailer, helping you avoid posts, equipment, or parking-lot hazards that are tough to judge by mirrors alone.

Before you decide, consider how you plan to tow throughout the year. If your routes regularly include tight jobsite gates, neighborhood streets, boat ramps or fuel islands, these camera angles can reduce stress and save time, especially in unfamiliar locations. If you often hitch solo, the overhead view works nicely with the LED Trailer Hitch Light, giving you a clearer look at alignment as you connect.

• Low-speed maneuvering: The stitched overhead view helps you position the trailer accurately when backing along a fence line or into storage bays.
• Obstacle awareness: See pallets, curbs, bollards and pedestrians that can disappear in mirrors, reducing the chance of scuffs or dents.
• Hitching support: Combine the bird’s-eye view with the LED Trailer Hitch Light and camera zooms to streamline solo connections.
• Works with steering aids: When you add available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, you control the trailer’s direction with a knob as the truck steers—ideal for precise positioning.

It’s also worth noting how the camera system integrates with other visibility tools. The 360° Surround View Camera focuses on the truck itself; the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera expands that circle to include the trailer. With the available Digital Rearview Mirror and the wired Tow Mode Camera, you can create a comprehensive visibility suite that adapts to almost any towing scenario you face during the year.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Will the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera help if I’m new to towing?

Absolutely. New towers gain confidence faster because the overhead perspective makes trailer movement easier to understand visually. You can see how steering input affects trailer angle in real time and avoid overcorrection, which is often the hardest part for beginners.

Do I need both the 360° Surround View Camera and the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera?

If you tow frequently or maneuver in tight spaces, yes. The former helps in everyday parking and close quarters when the trailer is not attached; the latter expands your visibility around the trailer itself. Together, they offer a more complete picture for work and weekends.

How does this camera setup compare with adding more mirrors?

Trailer tow mirrors are important, and Ram’s available Class-Exclusive Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors add flexibility. Cameras add perspectives mirrors can’t provide, like the true overhead view and real-time feeds from the back of the trailer, which are especially useful when backing or navigating blind corners.

What other towing tech should I consider with the camera system?

Trailer Reverse Steering Control simplifies backing by letting you steer the trailer’s path with a knob. The Tow Tech Package’s Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring adds peace of mind on long hauls by providing live trailer tire pressures in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. Combined, these features reduce the cognitive load of towing.

If you want to see how these systems perform together, schedule a hands-on demo and bring your trailer dimensions for a closer match to your use case.
