2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

I was where you are now. It was not a case of the cameras being taken and sold. It's a case of the cameras never being included with the truck. There isn't a p/n for a camera kit that work with 2025 or 2026 trucks.
So why is my truck all wired up, ready to go, but just missing the trailer cameras factory-installed module, and the gateway in the truck wired to the rear bumper? Also, I called Stellantis Accessory Support, and they ran my VIN number and confirmed it is supposed to be with my truck, and it came from the factory ready to go.

The towing mirrors I have on my new 2025 Night Edition Laramie, I hate them, they block your view when turning, and could possibly run someone over that's how bad the towing mirrors are. I curse them
They definitely take some getting used to. I have to be much more vigilant when making turns at intersections to make sure there isn’t a car or a pedestrian there once I got used to them they are OK but there’s a definite learning curve.
 
Drivetrain control module probably needs to be replaced. There’s been issues with them killing batteries.
How do you go about testing for this to be proven to be faulty? Is it as simple as just saying my batteries keep going dead and they should know that is what the problem is.?

I was told by our area field service rep that if the part number ends in “AH” or older it needs to replaced. The technicians should be able to see the part number with a scan tool.

There is another thread started on the trailer camera issue. Bottom line, there are two possibilities for cameras . . . the surround view that would appear on the center screen, or a simple trailer camera that would display on your Digital Rearview Mirror. NEITHER HAS BEEN RELEASED YET for the 2025, despite the truck having all the wiring and modules on the truck. We are at nearly 18 months since the 2025s started rolling out, and it's a travesty we still wait for this. Just like the phone-as-a-key thing.

Heck, the Digital Rearview Mirror literally has a button that changes the view to the damn trailer camera that doesn't exist for purchase. I ended up picking up a cheap Amazon camera with monitor to hold me over, but it sucks I had to do that.

The cameras have an aux 1 and aux 2 space on my 14-inch scene that are all wired, like I said, the real thing missing is the box of cameras that was in the back seat of the truck. The dash has a steering knob for reversing the trailer that I paid for, and has to have the cameras in order to even turn on. So they made me pay for half the system, for what it will not work without the other part. Then the dealer said he would split the price down the middle with me. First off, he does not pay for parts like I have to, so bells went off. That is not down the middle, and why should I pay twice on an 82 thousand dollar Ram 1500 Night Edition?

I was told that the batteries going dead is that the truck will not turn off its key finder for the remote, constantly looking 24-7 for the key fob, so I was told to keep the keys in my house in an RF safe key keeper to stop this, and the truck will go to sleep. I got the keeper they sell on Amazon, all types, but I have not had any issues with a dead battery on my truck, 2025 Ram 1500 Laramie Night Edition 3.0 twin turbo

Again . . . we all have the same wiring (when similarly equipped). I have a 2025 Laramie with the same options you reference. Take a look at the thread specific to this; the surround camera you reference works, but it's view is apparently pretty low quality.

As for the cameras you allege are missing, I'd bet my last dollar they were never there. Your dealer is just offering to help you out of courtesy (or so you'll just go away).

Do you have the Digital Rear view Mirror? You should be more angry about that camera not being available; it's simple and should be available to us.
 
The surround kit was never intended to be delivered with the 2025 or 2026. They finally removed it from the options/build lists early this year. They readily admit that it was in fact advertised and part of the build sheets in 2024 (again - MY25). But they simply claim it was a mistake and argue that we didn’t pay for it. They know the truth of course, but we’re powerless and they know it.
You can find the kits online for much less than dealer cost, but I haven’t seen confirmation that they work with MY25 or MY26.

According to this thread, the kit works. But, the iteration used reportedly had low quality video. Not sure if the latest versions do also, or if that was fixed.
