Expert Reply:
To add a 5th wheel hitch to your short bed 2024 Ram 2500, I recommend the B&W Companion with Slider item # BWRVK3670. This 5th wheel hitch has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will mount directly to the puck system for easy installation and removal. It will provide 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing.
I recommend the Companion because it is made in America and has 1" thick dual jaws that will give you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This system minimizes the chucking, jarring and noise that can occur when towing a 5th wheel trailer. This not only provides a more secure connection but also a quieter more comfortable towing experience.
I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video to help you get this hitch set up and show you what it looks like once installed.
