Expert Reply:

The Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier # UF48-979033 will fit the 2-inch hitch on your 2015 Ram pickup and will provide a 500-lb capacity for your 400-lb BMW motorcycle.

You'll also want to check your hitch to confirm its tongue weight (TW) capacity and to check your owner's manual to verify the truck's TW rating. Both the hitch and truck have to be rated for at least 500-lbs of tongue weight since both have to handle the combined weight of the bike itself plus the 51-lb weight of the Rage carrier.

If you find that the BMW blocks other drivers' view of your tail lights you might want to add a set of magnetic lights like # TL21RK. These have a 4-pole flat connector so if you need an adapter to mate them to your truck 7-way you can use an item like part # PK12716 or # HM47065.
