Then you'll need a wired magnetic light kit that plugs into the 4-way, the Roadmaster Standard Magnetic Tow Lights # RM-2120. This will leave your 7-way...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Scion xB Behind a Motor Home with Stowmaster Tow Bar
  The Roadmaster MX base plates # 1187-3A will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver such as the Falcon 2 # RM-520.

• Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation to Tow a 2014 RAM 1500 Express 4x4 Behind an RV
  There aren't any Trailermate wiring harnesses for the 2014 Ram 1500 but there are many other options, see link.
