Hey Jeffrey, it sounds like your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 does not have a factory hitch and you are looking for one. For that we have the Curt # C15809 as a really great option with a 2.5 inch hitch opening and a high towing capacity.
If instead you were thinking something with a lower capacity and not quite as heavy duty we also have the etrailer part # e98852 that is the standard 2 inch hitch size and can to up a 6,000 lb trailer.
