Expert Reply:
I looked up your 2015 Ram 2500 Tradesman and it looks like it has a towing capacity of 11,020 to 11,870 lbs depending on how it is equipped. The payload is then between 2,187 and 3,043 lbs.
For a Class V hitch from Curt that does fit your 2015 Ram 2500 the Curt # C15809 would be a great option confirmed as a fit. The hitch you referenced does not fit your truck. This hitch has actually more towing capacity than your truck so you'd get to take full advantage of your truck's towing capacities.
