Expert Reply:
The weight of Ram 3500 trucks is a pretty common concern, and I can verify for you that we definitely have the parts needed for you to be able to flat tow your heavy 2021 Ram 3500. There is a great option for a properly rated tow bar from Blue Ox like you were wanting, and I'll list the tow bar as well as the rest of what you need to flat tow your '21 Ram 3500:
- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU86CR
- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar - 10,000 lbs # BX7420
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR
- (Optional) Blue Ox KarGard Towed Vehicle Protector # BX8870
The Blue Ox base plates have removable arms so your '21 Ram 3500 is going to keep its look when you aren't flat towing it, and the Avail tow bar has a 10,000 lb capacity which is more than enough for your truck, even if it has cargo in it; the tow bar also comes with 10,000 lb-rated safety cables so you don't have to make a separate purchase.
The Flexo-Coil wiring kit is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback to keep your Ram's electrical system safe, and the Stay-IN-Play DUO braking system is recommended because it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome, so it is much smoother than other systems.
