- Trailer sway control

Trailer Sway Control[1] (TSC) recognizes a swaying trailer and automatically applies individual wheel brakes and/or reduces engine power to attempt to eliminate the trailer sway.
- Integrated trailer hitch

Ram's competitors are content with the status-quo. Messy, dangling trailer hitch wires are the norm. Dodge has a better way. All models include a four-way trailer hitch wiring harness and connector with a convenient plug-in connection integrated into the rear bumper.
