• Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2016 Ram 1500 Laramie
  If the brake lights do not work with your vehicle's ignition key turned to the "tow" position, you need a brake light switch kit to provide a signal to the supplemental braking system. This is something you can quickly check with a second person. The brake light switch wire on your 2016 Ram 1500 isn't accessible so you'll need to use a stop light switch kit for the brake signal that the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 will wire into.

• How to Flat Tow a 2018 Ram 1500 4X2 Automatic
  Just so you are aware, from the OEM, only 4 wheel drive models should be flat towed.

  The cold side wire isn't going to have power until the brake pedal is depressed so you'll need to ensure that you're pressing the brake pedal while testing these wires.

• Best Supplemental Braking Systems to Flat Tow a 2015 Ram 1500 Behind a Motor Home
  The best supplemental braking system for your 2015 Ram 1500 is going to depend on the type of braking system on the RV.
