There is a 5th wheel hitch that fits your 2021 Ram 2500 with the factory 5th wheel prep package that is considered to be the best in the industry, which is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3670.

The reason why the Companion is the best is because it is constructed to ensure you have the best possible ride; it has a herculean jaw system along with cushioned bushings and a pivoting head, all of which combine to give you the most comfortable and quiet towing experience possible. The jaws on the Companion are a full 1 inch thick and are why the Companion - more than any other fifth wheel hitch - minimizes the chucking, jarring and noise that can occur when towing a fifth wheel trailer, The size of the jaws, as well as the fact that B&W's tolerances are +/- .002 inch, are what makes such a huge difference.

The bushings on the Companion are another important factor; they are made of polyurethane which act as cushions that absorb noise and rattle so you can get to your destination in comfort. The Companion is considered by most - myself included - to be the highest-quality fifth wheel hitch in the industry. As evidence of this you can see that this hitch has been reviewed more than 1,000 times by our customers (as of this writing), and they have given it a nearly unanimous 5-star rating.

I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like of the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3670.

Don't forget your lube plate. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter item # RP83002 will prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup.
