The correct Blue Ox base plate for your 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn is going to be determined by which truck you have. 2019 was a split model year for the Ram 1500 where they produced two very different models. The 1500 Classic which is mechanically identical to the 2018 model and the 1500 Ram which is the all new model and the first model year of the 5th generation.
I checked with Blue Ox, if you have the 1500 Classic you will want the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU74FR. If your 2019 Ram is the newer body style then you'll need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU99FR.
Some other parts you will need to flat tow your 2019 Ram 1500 are listed below:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency item # BLU37TR and the 12 Volt Outlet Kit item # RM-9332
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
