4 Safety Features of the 2024 RAM 3500 Chassis Cab

The 2024 RAM 3500 Chassis Cab is built tough, and capable of carrying and towing the heaviest loads easily. In addition, it is one of the safest heavy-duty trucks available, as it contains specialized driver assistance safety features that protect you on the road and the job. We’re going to look closer at some of these features and see how they protect you.

4 Safety Features in the 2024 RAM 3500 Chassis Cab

Forward Collision Warning With Active Braking

This system uses a camera and radar to scan the road ahead for other vehicles. It will measure the distance to any vehicle, then compare that to your current speed to determine if you’re closing too fast and an accident risk exists. You receive visual and audio warnings of a potential accident so you can intervene and prevent it.

If you don’t hit the brakes fast enough, the system engages automatic braking to bring your RAM to an almost instant stop. This can prevent the accident or mitigate the damage caused by a collision.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop

Cruise control allows you to set a speed, and this system will maintain it. It’s helpful on long trips, as it reduces driver strain. You can also set a following distance from other vehicles, and depending on your choices, your RAM will keep a short, medium, or long distance from the vehicle ahead’s rear bumper.

If a vehicle ahead slows down, the system will reduce your speed to maintain the distance. It will also stop if the other vehicle comes to a halt.

LaneSense Lane Departure Warning

LaneSense uses a specialized camera to identify the lane line markings and boundaries. The system provides visual and audio alerts if your wheels stray toward the line boundary and you’re not actively steering. This gives you sufficient warning to turn back into your lane and avoid a possible collision.

ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist

Six sensors are located in the front of your RAM and four in the rear. They automatically operate at 7 mph or less and scan for vehicles, people, or animals that might cross your path. The sensors cover three arcs to front and rear, and if something is detected, the relevant arc on your screen will illuminate and you’ll hear warning beeps.

The audio tone rises in intensity and will continuously sound if a collision is likely. The illuminated arc on your screen will change to red and flash as a warning you need to brake. If you don’t hit the brakes after this warning, the system automatically initiates hard braking to stop your RAM and prevent the collision.
