We have the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-204 listed as confirmed fit for the 2020 Ram 2500. There has not been a generational platform change since the new 2019 model year. We have this kit for your 2021 and confirmed with Curt that it is a fit.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
