For your 2022 Ram 1500 non-EcoDiesel engine with a 6-1/2 Foot Bed, I suggest the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR using the Reese Quick-Install Kit, # RP56018-53.

This will work well with your Forest River 240RE as the specs online show it to be a hitch weight of 1,350 lbs. with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of just under 13K.
