For your 2022 Ram 3500 Longhorn DRW 4x4 you'll need a tow bar, base plate, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables. I have the following recommendations for you:
Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate - 2" RV Mount - 10.5K # e84ZR. This tow bar features non-binding latches and telescoping, self-supporting arms that make connecting/disconnecting your vehicle on any terrain easy peasy. This tow bar comes with safety cables included as well as an adjustable head that tilts up or down 3" to keep the tow bar parallel with the road during towing. The shank has built-in 1-1/2" rise or drop for additional adjustability.
Base Plate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-522204-5. The direct-connect attachment points make connecting to your tow bar quick and easy. The arms are removable for a hidden look when not in use. Use # RM-210 to cover the receivers for your base plate arms.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Since the braking system I recommended already comes with an adapter cable and socket to transfer your lighting signals from your motorhome to the vehicle you'll just need to install the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152. This diode kit allows you to use your vehicle's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # HM39530. This system offers fully proportional braking with a system that never has to be removed, replaced, or reset. The actuator installs out of sight and remains virtually invisible when your car isn't being towed. This controller also works as a trailer brake controller so you can tow a trailer with your motorhome without needing to install a separate brake controller. The included charge line kit will keep your Ram's battery charged as you tow so you don't have to worry about a dead battery.
Safety Cables: Since the tow bar I recommended already has these included you won't have to purchase them separately.
