Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Ram 1500 Classic for Small Utility Trailer Towing  

Question:

I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic that does not have a hitch and I need to tow a smaller utility trailer with it. What all do I need to do this? I know I need a receiver.

For a light duty towing application for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic without the towing package the hitch you'd want is the etrailer.com part # E98852 because it's an easy install, has more capacity than you'd need at 6,000 lbs trailer weight, and has a great price. Since your truck has a factory 7-way and a small utility trailer would require a 4-way the wiring kit you'd want is the part # C55384 which installs in line with the 7-way and gives you a 4-way.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
