2021 is a split model year for the Ram 1500, with two different models being available. The 1500 Classic is a carryover from the previous generation, while the Ram 1500 is the all new model.
If you have the Ram 1500 Classic, I'd recommend the Reese # RP50142-58 custom install kit. For a less expensive option, a semi-custom kit is available as part # RP30035-523. The semi-custom kit would take an hour or two longer to install.
For a Ram 1500, only a custom install kit is available as part # RP56018-53.
To install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, I'd recommend part # 50-97-410.
