There are a lot of moving parts to this answer, since the 2019 Dodge Durango R/T AWD has several different engines and transfer cases available. At the end of the day, it's always best to consult with your owner's manual and you'll also need some basic information that can be attained via the VIN.
To start, if your Dodge Durango R/T has either the 3.6L V6 or the 5.7L V8 Hemi, you'll only be able to flat tow these vehicles if they are equipped with the 2 speed transfer case- from what I was able to find out the R/T 5.7L versions all have the 2 speed transfer case equipped. If your Durango has the 6.4L V8 Hemi, this vehicle cannot be flat towed at all and you would need to use a tow dolly with a capacity of around 6000-lbs (which we do not currently have available).
If you can determine that you have a 2019 Dodge Durango R/T with either the 3.6L or 5.7L engine and a 2 speed transfer case, you'll need parts from the following categories: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lights, supplemental braking and a high/low adapter.
I've provided a short list of which items I would recommend below, but there are some things, like lights and supplemental braking that will depend on exactly which sub model and engine your Durango has, so if you can provide me with that information I can make the appropriate recommendations.
Base Plates: Blue Ox # BX2411 (Works on all 2019 Dodge Durango models)
Tow Bar: Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 (comes with safety cables)
Supplemental Braking: Patriot # BLU37TR
Lights: Tow Ready Diode Kit # TR118821
High/Low Adapter: Something similar to the # RM-076 Check the link provided below for all High/Low Adapters as well as separate article on how to measure for which one you'll need.
As mentioned above, if you can let me know precisely which model Durango you have as well as the type of RV you'll be towing with (what type of braking system it has- air, hydraulic, etc.) I can get you a complete list of the exact parts that will work to get you on the road.
