For your 2020 Ram 2500 Long Bed I really like the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs part # RP30918 . This hitch is one of the easiest to use, offers great ride quality and is extremely well made.

For wiring in the bed of your truck so you don't have to hang the trailer connector over the tailgate use the Demco 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug - 10' Long part # DM8555002

I've linked the videos for you below.
