I sure can! For your 2015 Ram 2500, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness item # RED87CR. This is a proportional brake controller that automatically adjusts your trailer's braking based on the deceleration of your Ram, so no more being pushed. The Liberty has a unique installation method where the main unit is concealed behind your dash and the only part visible is the control knob.
The Redarc item # RED87CR comes with a plug and play harness that'll make installation quick and easy.
