The 2023 Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy-Duty models are expected to gain new high-tech towing mirrors. The updated mirrors have already been spotted on two prototype models. They incorporate tons of features into a smaller package. 

Both manual- and power-extending options are in the works. They may include power-adjustable heated glass, spotter glass, integrated turn signals, LED puddle lights, blind-spot indicators, forward and rear-facing spotlights, 360-degree cameras, and new tow cameras. 

Big trucks like the Ford F-250 and Chevy Silverado 2500 have been competing in the towing game by increasing visibility. This is crucial for improving the towing experience to avoid accidents and scraping against obstacles. 

Chevy offers up to eight cameras that feature 15 different views. Four angles are for the trial hitch. Ford provides a 360-degree camera and a bed camera, so it’s time for the Ram 2500 to catch up.
