5 Tech Features in the Ram 1500 Tungsten That Will Transform Your Drive

The 2026 Ram 1500 Tungsten delivers technology that elevates what a premium pickup can do—from keeping devices charged without cables to providing visibility in places traditional mirrors can't reach.

For drivers in Montreal-Est and across Quebec, these innovations solve real problems: winter glove fumbles with charging cables, blind spots when towing, parking anxiety in tight urban spaces. Here are five tech features available in the Tungsten that prove their worth every day.

Dual Wireless Charging Pads: Power Without the Tangle

The Tungsten offers dual wireless charging pads that eliminate cable management. Both driver and passenger can place Qi-compatible smartphones on dedicated charging surfaces simultaneously.

This setup proves invaluable during Quebec winters when gloves make cable connections frustrating, or on extended highway drives when both occupants need their devices ready. The system delivers consistent power without occupying USB ports or creating cable clutter across the centre console.

The dual-pad configuration means your co-pilot can keep their device charged while you maintain full access to your own charging surface—no negotiations required.

Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode: See Everything, Always

Traditional mirrors show only what's directly behind your truck. The Tungsten's available digital rearview mirror replaces that limited view with a high-definition camera feed that eliminates blind spots created by rear passengers, cargo, or headrests.

Key Advantages:

• Unobstructed view regardless of interior cargo or passengers
• Enhanced visibility in low-light conditions
• Seamless integration with tow mode for trailer monitoring
• Instant toggle between digital and traditional mirror views

The tow mode functionality extends this capability when hauling. The camera adjusts its field of view to account for your trailer, giving you a clear picture of traffic behind your entire rig—not just your truck bed. For drivers navigating Montreal-Est's industrial corridors or towing to cottage country, this visibility advantage matters.

14.5-Inch Uconnect Touchscreen: Command Centre for Your Truck

The Tungsten's available 14.5-inch Uconnect touchscreen serves as your control hub for navigation, climate, audio, and vehicle settings, all with crisp graphics and responsive touch controls that rival premium tablets.

The screen's size allows for split-screen functionality, so you can monitor navigation while adjusting climate settings or checking vehicle information. Voice commands handle most functions without lifting a finger, and the system integrates seamlessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for familiar smartphone connectivity.

For Quebec drivers, the system includes bilingual voice recognition and French-language navigation prompts, making it genuinely useful for navigating Montreal's complex road network or exploring rural routes across the province.

Surround 360-Degree Camera System: Park Like a Pro

Parking a full-size pickup in tight Montreal-Est spaces becomes effortless with the Tungsten's available surround camera system. Four strategically placed cameras create a bird's-eye view of your truck, showing obstacles that would be invisible from the driver's seat.

The system proves particularly valuable in these situations:

• Navigating tight parking garages
• Positioning your truck at loading docks
• Avoiding curbs and parking barriers
• Manoeuvring in congested urban areas

Dynamic grid lines show your projected path, updating in real time as you turn the wheel. The cameras also provide individual views from front, rear, and both sides, letting you choose the perspective that best suits your situation.

Hands-Free Active Driving Assist: Intelligent Highway Support

Long highway drives across Quebec become less taxing with available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist. This system combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centring technology, maintaining your speed and position on mapped highways without constant steering input.

Unlike basic cruise control, this system actively monitors road conditions, adjusts speed for traffic flow, and keeps you centred in your lane. A driver-monitoring camera ensures you remain attentive, but the system handles the repetitive steering corrections that cause fatigue on extended drives.

The technology works on major Quebec highways, making trips to Quebec City, the Eastern Townships, or beyond more relaxed. The system disengages smoothly when you take control, creating a natural transition between automated and manual driving.
