2020 Ram 3500 OEM Rear Air Suspension

[otrfun]

Quote from ramtrucks.com ref the 2020 Ram 3500 rear air suspension:

" . . . automatically adapting to shifting loads and changes in road camber, in addition to providing a parallel hitch between truck and trailer."

Ram has had an optional rear air suspension for a number of years. Is this camber feature new for 2019-2020? Wonder if it has the ability to automatically compensate for an in-bed truck camper that is heavier on one side?

I have heard good reports from truck camper owners. I haul 6k pin with ZERO squat. LOVE the system, 5 years with zero issues!

Unless they have one heck of an aircompressor for the system it won't be able to respond fast enough to control motion. For rapid response dynamic shocks are generally needed. On the other hand, an air system will have plenty of time to respond to an off center load, including a high load that is pushed off center by road with a lot of camber for drainage. I would expect it to make the truck parallel with the road, not vertical to the earth unless they have gotten really fancy.

My question is if would change ride height independently side to side fast enough to control motion, how in the world do they move the volume of air that fast?
I could be wrong, but that feature sounds like something that sells better than works...

Sounds like they are using the trucks built-in accelerometer (usually used for stability control), rather than a height-sensor. If so, this is great, because the height-sensors tend to be the most finicky component on full-air-rides. The mechanical arms get damaged from road debris, and the magnetic ones have to be adjusted perfect or they won't work either.

I wouldn't see why not, clearly it's got ride height sensors if it can compensate for road camber and hitch squat. What's interesting is that it says it can compensate for "shifting loads" so I bet it's a huge help in controlling side-to-motion on uneven roads with the camper onboard.

I was just shopping 2015-2017 Rams and didn't see a single one with air suspension, so either it wasn't available yet or nobody ordered it....would be interested if anyone here on the forum has it on their truck.
