Yes, the Hopkins Agility Trailer Brake Controller, # HM47294, can be installed on your 2011 Dodge Ram 1500.

If your Ram is equipped with a factory 7-way connector, you will just need the Plug-In Simple Brake-Control Wiring Adapter, # HM53015, in order to install the brake controller. By using this harness you will not have to do any cutting or splicing of wires, just plug the one end into the brake controller and the other end into the OEM plug which is located under the dashboard to the left of the steering column taped to another harness near the emergency-brake pedal.

If your truck has a factory 4-way connector and OEM plug under the dash, you will also need a 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Adapter, # 37185, in addition to part # HM53015.

I have attached an article which gives step by step instructions for installing an electric brake controller on Dodge Ram Trucks.
