Expert Reply:

Hey Mohamed. To add a baseplate to a 2022 Ram 1500 TRX, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM74MR. This baseplate kit is custom fit for the TRX models and comes with all the necessary installation hardware to get it setup.

Here are the rest of the parts you will need to flat tow your 2022 Ram 1500 TRX:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate item # e84ZR

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-15267

Charge Line - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25

Supplemental Braking System - Curt RVi Series Shadow 2 Flat Tow Brake System item # RVI94FR and the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM-751000.

Please note that the Shadow 2 braking system item # RVI94FR includes a charge line. You will not need item # RM-156-25 if you purchase this one.


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.

Hey Mohamed, how did the setup go with the Roadmaster base plate on your Ram TRX? Did the rest of the flat tow parts come together smoothly? Your update could make it easier for others towing the same truck.
