- 2025 Ram 1500 gasoline and eTorque models equipped with Trailer Reverse Steering Control
Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Connect the trailer and its electrical wiring, secure the cable outside the rear-camera view, and complete calibration if the cluster requests it.
- 02
Stop, shift to Park, hold the brake and press the TRSC activation button above the knob.
- 03
When directed, shift to Reverse and wait for the active message.
- 04
Remove hands from the steering wheel, back slowly and turn the TRSC knob in the direction the trailer should go; keep the knob centered for straight travel.
- 05
Control accelerator and brake yourself, watch mirrors/camera continuously, and cancel by stopping and selecting Park or pressing TRSC.
Important limits
- TRSC assists steering only; the driver remains responsible for speed, braking, clearance and trailer angle.
- The rear camera must be clean and the tailgate upright and fully latched.
- The feature can cancel for excessive speed, driver steering input, lost trailer tracking, an open driver door/unbuckled belt or an approaching jackknife.
Quick checks.
- ✓For a Calibrate Trailer message, drive the manual's straight/90-degree/straight calibration pattern in a safe open area.
- ✓Clean the rear camera, straighten the trailer and remove wiring from its image if tracking is lost.
- ✓Stop immediately at a red jackknife warning; pull forward to straighten rather than forcing the maneuver.
