I would be happy to help you set up your 2022 ProMaster 3500 and make recommendations for a hitch, wiring harness, and brake controller.

You will want to start with the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13295 which fits both EXT and non-EXT models. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Ram with included hardware. Once the hitch is installed all you can see is the 2" receiver

For a wiring harness you will want the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 22112. The wiring tees in behind your tail lights and then comes with all of the wiring and connections you need for a fully-functioning 7-Way. It also comes with a brake controller adapter that is compatible with Tekonsha brake controllers or Tekonsha Adapters.

To control your trailer's brakes you'll need the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite item # RED44FR. The Tow-Pro Elite brake controller is pretty unique because it can be installed anywhere and you only need access to the 3/4" diameter control knob. The control knob has LED lighting integrated into it that changes colors depending on what settings you have chosen. This means that you don't have to try to read a screen while you are driving.

To connect the Redarc without having to cut or splice wires you will want the Redarc Tow-Pro Wiring Adapter for Tekonsha Brake Controller Harness item # 331-TPH-017. This will give you a plug and play installation.
