Hey Steven,

We do have a custom 5th wheel base rail kit for your 2020 Ram 1500 that will not require any drilling into your truck's frame, and the correct part number for that is the following:

- Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16307-204

This will give you standard base rails for your Ram so you can mount your 5th wheel hitch. The only other thing I want to mention is that if you also need a 5th wheel wiring harness, the right part for your truck is the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 50-97-410.

Kyle, Does having a multi-function tailgate impact this ?

@Steven Good question, and yes, Curt says their base rails aren't a fit if you have a Multi-Function tailgate. So if you have that, don't use the Curt rails, instead use the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2604. There isn't an issue installing this kit with a Multi-Function tailgate, and it doesn't require drilling into your frame either.
