Hello. I am looking to tow a 2021 Ram 1500 four wheel drive behind an RV with a tow bar set up. Could you recommend which products I would need to purchase please? I know I need the tow bar and I need a base plate for the truck. But, Im not sure of which base plate and if I need anything else. Thank you!
