The easiest and fastest hitch to install on your 2021 Ram 1500 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13419.

The hitch attaches via a weld nut assembly and large bolt that runs down through the bumper. The only thing you have to remove is the plastic cap on top of the bumper. The # C13419 has a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs and gross trailer weight of 6,000 lbs.

I have attached the instructions as well as an installation and review video of the hitch on a 2019 Ram 1500 for your reference.
