To add a gooseneck hitch to your 2023 Ram 2500, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch item # BWGNRK1320. This hitch is custom fit and includes all hardware necessary to complete installation on your truck. This system fits both the 6-1/2' and 8' bed lengths. It has a massive 30,000 lbs capacity but you will want to verify what your truck's actual capacity is and go off of it.

This underbed system allows you to store the 2-5/16" hitch ball upside down and inside your bed when you are not using it. This gives you full access to your bed when you're not towing. The locking handle is easily accessible inside your driver's side rear wheel well.

To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56070. 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 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.

I have linked installation videos below for both parts to help you get them set up.
