With your 2022 Ram 2500 having the Ram Box storage in the bed you will need to use a fixed hitch with a pivoting pin box like the Sidewinder # RP34FR. You will not be able to use use the Pull Rite/Demco Autoslide type hitches as they will not clear the bed sides. The pivoting pin box changes the turning point from the 5th wheel hitch to the attachment point on the 5th wheel trailer. This prevents the chance of damage to your bed rails and allows you to make full jackknife turns without a sliding 5th wheel hitch. If you can let me know what bolt pattern your 5th wheel pin box uses I can tell you which pivoting pin box you will need.

I recommend installing the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16427-204 with the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140. You will need a Wedge # C16992 to use with the Sidewinder pin box. This prevents the pin box from turning on the hitch head.

Bud, I also have a 2022 Ram 2500 with Ram Box. I have a toy hauler with the Reese Towpower 69220 Sidewinder Fifth Wheel Pin Box for Short Bed towing.
