4WD models of the 2022 Ram 1500 are able to be flat towed, with a few steps listed in the owner's manual. TO flat tow your Ram you'll need a baseplate, tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables. For these components I have the following recommendations:
Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-522203-5. These fit EcoDiesel models but let me know exactly which model you get so I can confirm fitment since trim packages can change the compatibility.
Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate # e84ZR. This tow bar fits Roadmaster direct-connect style baseplates and comes with safety cables included so that you don't have to purchase them separately.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. After hooking up you'll want to test that the braking signal does not override your turn signal.
If it does then you'll need to install the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000 to prevent it from doing so.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This portable system comes with a remote to easily see when the brakes are being activated on your Ram and adjust your brake settings from your motorhome. The included charged line kit will also keep your Ram's battery charged while you drive.
