I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3670 for your 2024 Ram 2500 short bed. I feel this is our best quality hitch as B&W has built a reputation of quality made in the USA components. It will drop directly into the 4 outer mounting points on your factory prep/puck system.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
