Yes, the Reese OEM 5th Wheel Hitch, # RP30918, for your 2015 Ram 2500 with 6ft bed and prep package, can be used to tow a trailer that is equipped with a Reese Revolution pin box. You'll also need the custom wedge kit # RP44FR to prevent the king pin of the Revolution from pivoting in the jaws of the # RP30918.

I have attached an article which is packed with information on the Sidewinder (the aftermarket version of the Reese Revolution) that you may find helpful.
