Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer With a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic
Question:
Aside from buying the trailer, can you list the other components i need to buy to make it easy to tow, secure, safe, and fun? Ive never towed anything, so please assume i own nothing other then the truck.

In order to tow a trailer with a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic you'll need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98852 which offers an easy bolt-on install. For a trailer wiring harness, I recommend the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part # HM40975 which is also plug-in-play and installs into a factory cutout in the bumper.
Then for a ball mount/hitch ball, measuring would be the only for sure way but we do offer kits like the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 which work for most setups.
