In order to flat-tow your your 2022 Ram 3500, you will need a base plate, a tow bar, a tow braking system, safety chains, and vehicle tow wiring. Here's a setup of the following parts you need:
- Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-522204-5
- Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - 2" Hitch # RM-422
- Roadmaster 80" Coiled Safety Cables - Double Hook - 10,000 Pounds # RM-653
- Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251
- Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-1676-7
The great thing about the etrailer base plate kit is that is simply installs into your 3500's chassis. It comes with all required hardware and direct-connect attachment points. As far as the Blackhawk 2 tow bar, it allows for you to easily release your vehicle even in uneven ground and simply slides into the RV's hitch receiver without the need of a ball mount. In addition, you will also receive the proportional action of the SBS Stay-IN-Play which applies the 3500's brakes at the same level that you apply the brakes to your RV. With the diode kit, this will allow you to connect your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights to your 3500's lighting system.
This setup will give you everything you need in order to flat-tow your 2022 Ram 3500. If you need any assistance installing any of these parts, I went ahead and linked videos that walk you through the process.
