I just purchased my 2020 Ram 1500 Classic, here is my equipment related to towing below. I will be towing a 5,895 lbs GVWR TT. Any aftermarket changes I should consider for towing?
I didn't see any towing packages but it seems like some of those items were added individually. There was no hitch, but there was the harness. I plan on adding a brake controller and Curt Class 4 Hitch (10,000lb). I am particularly interested to know if I need to add transmission/oil coolers and what to get if so. The ones shown were added in the optional equipment section, so I think I am good.
