We have a hitch that'll work perfectly with your 2020 Ram 2500. I'd recommend the B&W Companion, part
# BWRVK3670. The Companion will drop right into the factory pucks (a slight one-time initial adjustment might be necessary). The thing that sets the Companion apart from other hitches is the jaw system. The Companion has massive 3/4 of an inch thick jaws that hold the 5th wheel king pin very securely for an excellent ride. The cam-action latching handle helps prevent binding making it easier to hitch up and disconnect. B&W builds the Companion right here in the USA, and it's our most recommended 5th wheel hitch option.

If you don't already have one, you can install a 7-way trailer connector in your truck bed using part # 41157.

I've linked to a product demonstration video for the B&W Companion as well as an install video for the trailer connector I recommended.
