Hey Mark, it sounds like you are asking if you can tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2021 Ram 2500 that has the Ram Boxes. The answer to that is yes but the fifth wheel trailer will need to have it's pin box removed and a Sidewinder pivoting pin box would have to install in it's place. To see if there's a Sidewinder available I would need you to get me the model and brand info off of the current pin box.
Then you would need a fixed hitch and rail kit designed to fit your truck with the B and W Patriot part # BW89XR.

Hey Mark, were you able to find the model and brand info from your current pin box so we can check for a Sidewinder option? Once you have that, I can help confirm if the fixed B&W Patriot hitch will be the right fit for your Ram.
