When it comes to selecting a full-size pickup truck that delivers both robust performance and exceptional safety, the RAM 1500 remains a clear leader. Known for its rugged design, refined interior, and advanced engineering, the RAM 1500 also offers a wide range of safety features that cater to drivers in Fremont, Sandusky, and beyond. At Firelands CDJR Sandusky, we don’t just sell trucks—we ensure our customers understand exactly how their vehicle protects them on the road, at the worksite, and in everyday driving conditions.
In this guide, our RAM truck experts walk you through the most important safety technologies built into the RAM 1500 and explain how these features work together to keep you and your passengers safe.
Why Safety Matters to Fremont RAM 1500 Drivers
Whether you're towing, hauling, or commuting, the conditions on the road can be unpredictable. That’s why RAM 1500 safety technologies are designed to enhance driver awareness, improve response time, and help avoid accidents. These features are not just add-ons; they are integrated deeply into the RAM’s engineering to support your driving habits and terrain needs—especially in Ohio’s varying seasons.
At Firelands CDJR Sandusky, we’ve seen more Fremont-area drivers prioritizing safety as a top buying factor, and the RAM 1500 delivers across the board.
Advanced Driver Assistance Features in the RAM 1500
RAM has taken major steps to include a suite of driver-assistance features that rival luxury vehicles. Some of the most impactful technologies include:
Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
This system alerts the driver when a potential frontal impact is detected. If the driver doesn’t respond in time, the truck can automatically apply the brakes to reduce the severity of the crash—or prevent it altogether. This is especially useful during highway driving or in heavy Fremont traffic.
LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist
LaneSense monitors the RAM 1500’s position in the lane. If it senses unintentional drifting, it alerts the driver and can gently steer the vehicle back into its lane. This adds an extra layer of protection during long road trips or when driving through Ohio’s rural roads.
Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection
Blind Spot Monitoring gives you eyes where you can’t see, which is essential when towing with your RAM 1500. Rear Cross Path Detection is particularly helpful when backing out of driveways or parking spaces in busy areas like downtown Sandusky or Fremont.

Passive Safety Features: Built-In Confidence
Beyond high-tech sensors and warnings, the RAM 1500 includes a variety of structural and passive safety features designed to minimize injury in the event of a collision.
-
High-strength steel frame: Offers durability and impact absorption.
-
Six airbags, including side-curtain and front-seat mounted airbags.
-
Electronic Stability Control: Helps maintain directional control on slippery or uneven terrain.
These elements make the RAM 1500 one of the safest trucks for both work and family use.
Towing Safety: Keeping Heavy Loads in Check
RAM 1500’s towing capabilities are among the best in class, with up to 12,750 lbs of towing capacity. But pulling that kind of weight requires strong safety systems. The RAM 1500 is equipped with several tools to make towing safer:
-
Trailer Sway Control: Detects swaying and automatically applies brakes to individual wheels.
-
Electronic Roll Mitigation: Reduces the risk of rollover in sharp turns.
-
360° Surround View Camera: Provides full visual awareness, perfect for hooking up a trailer or navigating tight spaces.
If you plan to tow across Fremont or into the Sandusky countryside, these features provide peace of mind and professional-grade control.
