Hello Ben, thanks for reaching out. We do offer a 5th wheel hitch that will work on your 2020 Ram 1500 with the 65" bed and the multifunction tailgate. Basically the frame of the truck is different for trucks with or without the multifunction tailgate, and the difference in the frame excludes a lot of 5th wheel bracket kits.
There is an install kit from Demco that is compatible with the multifunction tailgate, and that is the Demco Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches # DM8552032-71. This comes with industry standard 5th wheel rails so you can mount any 5th wheel hitch that attaches to rails.
A great 5th wheel hitch option for your short bed Ram truck is the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram # DM95TV. This comes with the hitch and installation kit so everything you would need.
