If you have the factory gooseneck prep kit in your 2016 Ram 2500 then you'll have holes in the truck's bed that safety chain loops and hitch ball included with part # RP30140 fit into. I've attached a picture of what they look like installed and if you have the locations for them you can't miss them. If you have the factory kit then # RP30140 is all you'll need.

If you don't have the factory kit then you'll need to install a gooseneck underbed trailer hitch like the Curt # C60614. This includes everything you need for the install. You will need to drill the necessary holes in your truck's bed.

If you'd also like to add a wiring harness to your Ram's bed I recommend using # 50-97-410. It plugs in inline with your existing 7-way and adds an additional one in the bed.

I've attached videos on each product for you to take a look at as well.
