The most popular trailer hitch for your 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 with a build date of 05/2002 is Curt trailer hitch # 13326. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
If your truck did not come with a trailer connector you can use # C55504 to add a 4-Way flat connector at the back of the truck.
