I want to flat tow my 2013 Ram 2600 Cummins with 4x4. Can you advise on the parts I need? I would prefer not to have magnetic lights.

Helpful Expert Reply:

I would be happy to help you set your 2013 Ram 2500 up to be flat towed. I have listed the parts you will need below along with any installation videos we may have. The wiring harness will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies so no need to worry about magnetic lights.

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
