Expert Reply:
Yes, the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 can be used as the braking system for your 2019 Ram 1500. Since the ignition will be in the off position and you would have taken some specific steps to get the pickup ready to flat tow (check your owner's manual) the automatic braking that you referenced will not apply to this braking application.
A few things that you will need when using this system is the Stop Light Switch # RM-751000 to ensure that it operates properly and the 12V Outlet Kit # RM-9332 to keep the unit powered.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
