Yes, there are 5th wheel trailer hitches that will fit directly into the factory prep package on your 2017 Ram 2500 long bed without needing an adapter.

You can use:
B&W Companion hitch # BWRVK3600 rated for 25,000 pounds which is the one I recommend because it is a well-built, versatile hitch.
Curt 25K hitch # C16049
Curt 24K hitch # C16545-16021
Curt 20K hitch # C16530-16021 or # C16044
Curt 16K hitch # C16520-16021
Reese 20K hitch # RP30918
