For your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, I recommend the:

-Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550037 with the custom installation kit # DM8551005.

This is an auto-slide 5th wheel hitch that is rated for a maximum towing capacity of 21,000-lbs, and features three height settings, so you can adjust the hitch to fit your application, and, has 14" of slide travel giving you the turning clearance needed when making sharp turns.

We do not have any auto-sliding 5th wheel hitches rated for 20,000-lbs like you mention, just the 21k mentioned above, and an 18K # DM8550034 with the custom install kit # DM8552016-71.
