Has anybody figured out how to work the tow specific navigation on the new 2022 HD Rams? If so, is it any good?
 
What is tow specific NAV? I did not notice anywhere in the 2022 OEM NAV that I could input gross combined weight, length or height like I can in my Garmin trucker GPS.
 
There is a guy on YouTube that keeps trying to find it with no luck. I don't have my truck yet but this would be a welcome feature if we get it!
 
I would have to dig around for the online source, but I believe Ram advertised the tow specific navigation as “late model year availability”.

I’m sure you’re right, that would make sense. That might be the one positive I can take away from the 6 to 8 month timeframe for new builds. By the time mine arrives, it will have all of the late model year” features lol
 
Has anybody hooked up their trailer to see if it is an option that is only available while hooked up?

I'm not trying to be negative but this is the main reason I passed on most of the Hi-Tech options in my build. I have seen multiple videos of people trying to get this to work.
All the manufacturers keep advertising stuff that doesn't work as advertised. I can buy a trucker gps system that works excellent for $400 and updates for life. Don't get me started on car play or hardwired cameras for my camper. Are they unaware of wireless technology.

Would be nice if someone knows how to make this thing work.

I bought myself a used Jeep and I was concerned about first finding out what it was built and how it is currently preserved through epicvin , where I looked at the vin code, as well as the factory settings and equipment. This way it is easier not to break my head, and immediately convenient to use. Therefore, I have no problem with towing to date. Are they unaware of wireless technology.

Well, I'll tell you more, that's exactly what I do myself.

@RamCares i believe the tow-specific navigation has been completely scrubbed from the ram website....like it never existed. i cant find it mentioned anymore, its a shame they arent following through with this. TomTom already has stand alone devices that offer RV/Trailer specific navigation, im assuming Ram doesnt want to pay additional money to TomTom to get it working on the uconnect 5 systems......like they already promised before i purchased my truck.

The NAV screen is still in the radio as of a couple of days ago.
