Expert Reply:

Yes you can use the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,500 lbs # BX7380 to flat-tow your Dodge Ram. The typical 2014 ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 ecodiesel curb weight is 5,308 pounds.

If you need the other parts to complete the flat tow package I recommend these to complete it.

The Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154. This is a custom fit wire harness that will connect your RV's tail, brake and turn signal lights to your towed car's lighting system.

The etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # e98945 will provide custom fit base plate attachments to connect your tow bar to your 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie eco-diesel.
