Question:
I have a 2020 Ram 2500 long bed. It does NOT have the puck system. What's my best option for adding a 5th wheel hitch. THanks.

For your 2020 Ram 2500 that's not equipped with the factory puck system I really like the Reese Select Plus 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30081 along with the Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit # RP50054-58.
The Select Plus 5th Wheel Hitch features a robust single-piece self-latching jaw that will wrap completely around the trailer's king pin, creating both an extremely secure connection with the trailer and a smooth, quiet ride during travel. The Select Plus also features a unique 9" wide funnel (most other hitches have around a 6" funnel) that allows for easier hookup since you don't need to be so exact when lining up the truck and trailer. Its 4" height adjustment will let you create a level setup and 4-Way head pivot further contributes to a comfortable towing experience on the road.
The Quick-Install Kit includes everything you need to actually attach the hitch to your truck and the custom brackets will eliminate the need to drill into your frame rails.
I have attached a couple short video demonstrations that you can check out as well.
