First thing you need to flat tow your 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 2500 is a base plate kit, which for that we have the Roadmaster part # 277-3A as a confirmed fit. Next you'll need a tow bar with enough capacity for your truck like the Roadmaster Nighthawk part # RM-676 which has an 8k capacity and also comes with safety cables.

For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-154, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.

Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.

I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
