Active Driving Assist System

[RamIam99]

I'm looking at a 2025 RAM 1500 Limited with 3.0L I6 Hurricane. The window sticker lists Active Driving Assist System (ADAS) in the standard equipment then in the optional equipment the Limited Level A Group lists Hands Free driving Active Driving Assist System. What is the difference in the standard ADAS and the optional equipment with hands free ADAS or is it all the same?

Thx

We can try to explain, but your best bet is to read the manual description yourself. Around page 187:

Short version: Basic ADAS requires hand on wheel, and it will *try* to keep the truck in the lane. It works with the Adaptive Cruise Control. If you have the Hands-Free ADAS, it means just that - now you can remove your hands from the wheel. You must keep your eyes on the road. The system is very good at enforcing this. The Basic ADAS will work on most any road with lines. The Hands-Free will only work on specific roads (divided, limited access highways/interstates). There is a map on the Mopar website.

Anyone know if the hands free driving is just a software upgrade over basic Active Driving Assist System (ADAS)? Anyone know the cost of upgrade?

Not just SW. there is different HW in the vehicle (e.g., the eye camera on the steering column).

Is the basic ADAS just an upgrade of the lane keep that’s standard? Talking about the one that try’s to keep you centered without ping ponging about, not the fully hands free with the camera looking at you. It would seem like all the hardware for that is there and is only a software change. Does anyone know? I had this feature in my 2016 vw and would really like it back in my 2025 Laramie.
