The correct B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic is part # BWGNRK1309. The hitch has a 30,000 lb capacity. That said, the truck will be rated lower so that's what you'll go by. The towing capacity of said truck will be different based on options so you'll need to look in the owner's manual to find an exact value.

Please note, for 5-1/2' bed you also need to use one of the following; Offset Hitch Ball part # BWGNXA4685 or Offset Coupler part # BWTEXA4200.
