Since your 2013 Ram 2500 has a diesel engine you will want the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNRK1313. This kit is made specifically for the Ram 2500's with diesel engines and fits both the 6-1/2' bed and 8' beds. It has a 30,000 lbs capacity

The hitch ball of the B&W gooseneck hitch has a square shank that fits directly in the base and is secured with a steel locking pin. This square base, along with the powder-coated steel construction of the hitch, is why it is considered by many to be the best gooseneck hitch available. This square base for its hitch ball ensures maximum strength compared to hitches that have a ball with a round base. Round base gooseneck balls allow movement at the hitch ball connection.

I have linked a couple of pictures that show what this system will look like installed along with an installation video.

To make towing with a gooseneck trailer easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your gooseneck trailer easier and more convenient.
