Expert Answers about Ram 1500 Classic


  • Best Suspension Enhancement For a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Pulling a 5,300LB Travel Trailer
  • The SuperCoils Custom Suspension Coils # SSC-51 can be used with another suspension system like the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1500DQ. The Timbren will not work your 2019 Ram 1500 if it is a regular cab or has factory air suspension. Since it sounds like you only need the suspension enhancement when you are towing your travel trailer, I recommend using a Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET. With the Equal-i-zer you will be able to level your Ram and...

  • Timbren on a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic with Weight Distribution
  • The Timbrens part # TDRTT1500 that you looked at are a good fit for your situation the two systems will work just fine with each other and help to improve your ride quality. The Timbrens would not have to work as hard in this situation because they aren't going to be carrying the entire load but will prove very handy when heading down the road to help maintain the nice smooth ride characteristics. Especially when headed down the highway and encountering bumps that otherwise cause porpoising. As...

  • Can 2020 Dodge Ram Classic 4x4 be Flat Towed Behind Motorhome
  • I pulled up the owners manual of your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic 4x4 and it can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. You'll need to have the transmission in park and the transfer case in neutral. Check page 229 of your owners manual for more info. For a base plate kit you'd want the part # BLU74FR if you have an SLT or part # BX2409 for a Tradesman or Express. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking...

  • 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e53ZR on your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic because of the matte black finish which in my experience has better scratch resistance than the standard glossy black finish we see on other hitches on the market. This is a pretty simple installation which we've documented with a video, and I'm linking a photo of the hitch installed on a 2019 1500 Classic for your reference.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution/Sway Control for 8800 GVWR Travel Trailer
  • As a first step, I'd load the trailer up as you'd have it when you tow it and find the actual (not dry) tongue weight. Since weight weight distribution kits are classified by the range of tongue weights they're effective with, it's important to know the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow travel trailer. The weight of anything stowed behind the rear truck axle in the bed should be considered as tongue weight, as well. I'll link to an article that explains a few methods of...

  • Upgraded Towing Mirrors For 2019 Ram 1500 Classic With Heat, Turn Signal, Power Fold and Adjustment
  • I recommend the K-Source Custom Flip Out Towing Mirrors # KS60203-04C for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. These mirrors will retain the power fold, puddle light, power adjustment, turn signals, memory and heat that your current mirrors have. The mirror flips out manually like the factory mirrors on larger Ram truck for towing.

  • Does SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs Include Two or Four Springs?
  • The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs you were looking at are sold in a quantity of two, so you will need one set per axle. Now to make sure you order the correct helper springs you will need to confirm the axle rating of your axles, and check to see if the leaf springs are on top of the axle or underneath. The # TSS-107-40 you were looking at are designed for 3000-5000lb axles with leaf springs on top of the axle. If you have a 3000-5000lb axle but your leaf springs are underneath the...

  • Compatible Rails for Reese 30031 Hitch on 2019 Ram 1500 Classic
  • The Reese 30031 is nice in that it is designed to fit any vehicle with a set of industry standard fifth wheel rails. The correct fit for your truck is Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit # RP50142-58. I highly recommend these rails since they are custom fit for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. This means that the brackets are vehicle specific to minimize any drilling or measuring. However, if you want a slightly less expensive option, then the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation...

  • Recommended Replacement 7-way Connectors For 2019 Ram 1500 Classic and Keystone Cougar
  • I have replacement options for you, but there is not a different style of 7-way connector that is more secure than a 7-way blade connector like you have or one that locks together. One option is to go ahead and replace both the factory truck connector and the trailer connectors with new ones so you get the correct fit, and do not have any disconnecting issue any longer. For your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic I recommend the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket - Vehicle...

  • Comparing Extang Trifecta and Bestop EZ Fold for 2020 Ram 1500 Classic 5.5 ft Bed
  • Based on feedback we've had from customers the Bestop # B1624101 would be what I would recommend. While the Extang # EX92425 is solid for most customers there's a number who have stated it flapped around in wind more than they likes whereas the Bestop has a much more rock solid reputation.

If you have a different brand rails, let me know as manufacturers do recommend their brackets and hardware be used together.

  • What Brake Controller Do You Recommend For My 2022 Ram 1500 Classic
  • We can get you setup with a brake controller for your 2022 Ram 1500 Classic. The nice thing is once you have the brake controller setup you will be ready to go since your Ram 1500 already has 4-way and 7-way connectors installed. My brake controller recommendation will consist of the following: Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional, part # RED44FR and Redarc Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers, part # 331-TPH-020. This...

  • Furrion Vision S Camera System Recommendation for 2021 PrimeTime Tracer
  • All of the Furrion Vision S systems will work on your 2021 PrimeTime Tracer but they all have slightly different configurations. But since you have the pre-wiring I'd recommend the # FCE48TASL-05 instead as it comes with a rear camera that would mate right up to your pre-wiring and mount.

  • Recommended Bed Rails for Anderson Ultimate on a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic
  • I recommend using the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50142-58 for the Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 on your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic because it eliminates any drilling into the frame of your pickup (you do need to make holes in the bed of your truck though which is the same for any rail kit). Then for wiring I recommend the Hopkins Endurance # 41157 because it is a reliable option that uses the 90-degree wiring so you don't have to worry about pinching...
