For your 2024 Ram 1500, the correct Curt brake controller wiring harness is the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers # C51458.

This will give you a simple plug-and-play brake controller wiring harness (keep in mind this will not work if you have the OEM brake controller), and here are the brake controllers that this adapter works with:

- Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170

- Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV

- Curt Discovery NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C84VV

- Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C74VV

I really like either the Spectrum for its easy to use, hidden control knob so I'd go with that option.
