Expert Reply:
While the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C74BR will fit your 2022 Ram 3500 short bed with RAM Towing Prep Package, you will likely not be able to make jackknife turns depending on your trailer. If your trailer is using a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR you will be able to make jackknife turns with your truck and trailer.
A sliding 5th wheel hitch like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3670 is typically recommended as it allows you to slide the hitch back 12" to allow an 8' wide 5th wheel to clear the back of the cab when making a jackknife turn.
