Question:

I'm wanting to outfit my 2021 Ram ProMaster 3500 for towing. I'm needing a hitch, trailer wiring and a brake controller. What parts will I need?

Expert Reply:

As long as your 2021 Ram ProMaster 3500 isn't the extended model, the Curt # C13207 Class III hitch is what I'd recommend, due to its 6000 lb towing/750 lb tongue weight capacity.

If you have the extended version ProMaster, you'll use the # C13295 which has a 5000 lb towing/500 lb tongue weight capacity.

For trailer wiring, you'd use # 22112 to provide a 7-way trailer connector and a connection point for the Tekonsha # TK90160 Primus brake controller you'd looked at. You'll also need a ball mount like # C45010 with a pin and clip # PC3, along with a # 40038 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
