Expert Reply:
In order to install the Tekonsha Primus in your 2002 Dodge Ram with a factory tow package, all you will need to the controller itself and the mounts from the other vehicle and then add wiring harness # 3020-P.
Or, if you want to be able to switch back and forth between the vehicles, you can add a separate bracket to the truck, # 6927, and the wiring harness. The mounting hardware for the bracket is not included so you will need 2 self-tapping screws.
I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation on a similar truck and a link to the installation details for the brake controller.
