Ram Trucks w/ Adaptive Cruise Control (3 Popular Models)
Adaptive cruise control is increasingly common in many mainstream vehicles, including Ram pickups.
The following Ram trucks have adaptive cruise control or conventional cruise control system.
Check the corresponding tables to see the relevant model years when the system became available.
Adaptive Cruise Control vs. Cruise Control
The more-basic cruise control in older vehicles helps maintain a steady cruising speed for a relaxing long-distance drive.
The more sophisticated adaptive cruise control (ACC) enhances the conventional cruise control system by adjusting the vehicle’s speed to match the car ahead, which is excellent for highway cruising and avoiding collisions.
Compelling alternatives to Ram trucks include:
- Ford SUVs and trucks with cruise control.
- Chevy SUVs and trucks with cruise control.
- GMC SUVs and trucks with cruise control.
- Jeep SUVs and trucks with cruise control.
Ram Trucks with Adaptive Cruise Control
#1 Ram 1500
Full-size light-duty pickup trucks are an American favorite.
The hotly contested segment has several frontrunners, like Ford F-150, Ram 1500, and Toyota Tundra – all with adaptive cruise control or the older and more basic cruise control.
Mostly hybrid powertrain equipped, Ram 1500 models have had cruise control as a standard provision since 2013; 2011 and 2012 Ram 1500s did not have cruise control in the lowest trim.
No Ram 1500 model years have adaptive cruise control, however.
#2 Ram 2500
With more payload and towing capacity than the Ram 1500, the Ram 2500 is the logical step up for greater strength to shoulder heavier loads.
Although rival makes have similar heavy-duty offerings, the 2500 is a compelling choice for work and leisure as Ram trucks are some of the most livable daily drivers.
Except for the 2011 model, all Ram 2500 models have cruise control as a standard provision; no Ram 2500 has adaptive cruise control.
This Ram truck also has the Power Wagon variant with enhanced off-road capability.
#3 Ram 3500
The Ram 3500 is the American automaker’s most extreme heavy-duty truck, with massive towing and hauling capacities.
It competes with Ford F-350, GMC Sierra 3500HD, and Chevy Silverado 3500HD, although the Ram 3500’s comfortable seat and relatively quiet cabin are massive pluses.
All Ram 3500 heavy-duty trucks have the cruise control system as standard, regardless of the near-limitless configurations to meet various needs.
