The 2019 Ram 1500 4WD models can be flat towed. I recommend reading the "Recreational Vehicle Towing" section of your owner's manual for the required steps to get your vehicle ready to be flat towed. You'll need a tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, base plate, and safety cables. I have the following recommendations for you listed below:

Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate - 2" RV Mount - 10.5K Item # e84ZR. This tow bar has a non-binding design allows you to easily release your vehicle, even on unlevel ground.
The trigger release on each arm easily activates, even when under pressure.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154. This wiring kit will splice into your vehicle's wiring to signal using your vehicle's tail lights instead of having to run magnetic lights to the rear of your vehicle every time you want to tow.

Base Plate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # RM-522205-5. These direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and remove, and they eliminate the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar.

Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # HM39524. This system is reoccurring but only takes a few minutes to setup. It comes with a charge line kit to keep your vehicle's battery charged while towing.

Safety Cables: The # e84ZR I recommended above comes with safety cables included so you won't have to purchase them separately.
