Dumb question, first time towing an RV. Bought my 2019 Ram 1500 Classic used a few years ago. Came with the towing package. How do know if it has the brake controller installed?

It would be right there in the middle of the dash, under the radio.

You should have a little pinch slider with a + and - above it. Similar to this. this is mine in a 2017 Laramie 1500

Your truck likely already has key components like a hitch and receptacles, but you'll want to add an OEM or aftermarket brake controller and a weight distribution hitch (WDH). These additions will help manage the trailer's weight, improve braking, and enhance overall stability.
