Install a BIG transmission cooler.
When you get the weight distribution hitch , get the sway control bars also.

Is your caddy's trans cooler stock? If so it's pretty small. The trans cooler that came out it my 2006 was tiny. I upgraded to a tru cool max unit and it's huge.

I wasn't aware the rams had a stock trans cooler that year. I just know what excessive heat does to transmissions, especially gms. I just dealt with a trans rebuild in the spring and it was hell. Towing is ******* your transmission. An upgraded cooler is defintely a good idea. Anyways just my 
Here's apicof the cooler just had put in last week.

Well thanku so much for all of ur advice all. Looks like the current owner... she tows her vette in it all the time with her 1500. No sway or load levelers or even tow mirrors. So im hopin to be able to do as good as HER in my caddy.

Man good luck is all I can say...
Can it tow it? Yes absolutely... is it gonna be fun? Hell no. Your going to be down shifting left and right and struggling up every hill.
I towed a 20 ft enclosed with mine and it sucked on the highway. Just a big wind drag.
Sure the Dodge ram tows that trailer all the time. Good for it, that doesn't change anything about you towing it with yours. Again put a larger trans cooler in yours asap. It takes a whopping 1 hour to install. Your talking a week till you leave.
