2020 RAM Flat Tow Recommendation

Just got myself a 22 Thor Aria 4000. I plan to tow my 2020RAM 1500 and see a few flat tow setups but wanted to ask the community which is best or which I should go with. Also is the install simple or should I pay the shot to connect the bar, electrics, breaks ect?

The setup that works best for you will be your best setup. There's a reason there are multiple manufacturers with multiple choices for flat towing.

Is the install simple? Depends of you definition of simple and your capabilities and tolerance for tackling new projects.

Do your research, ask specific questions, and make decisions of the information you have gleamed. Don't expect someone on an Internet forum to lead you to the perfect solution for your circumstances. As with everything else RVing, it's a journey and adventure.

Thanks for the info or whatever that was?... I believe the reason of a forum is to network and help each other and not spend thousands to buy, test and find out what is good or not yourself. I guess for the literal individuals I should have added a disclaimer that I will still be researching what info I get back to either ask additional questions or make a decision. Since I am new to towing and have only seen little cars or trucks flat towed I was hoping for some feedback from the full size truck members with their experience with flat towing.

I am setting up my 2020 Ram 1500 to flat tow. I'm using the Blue Ox base plate, RVi3 brake system, wiring from American Truck. I already have a Blue Ox Avail tow bar which led to deciding on the BO baseplate.
