Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out!
Yes, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16044 will fit both the short and long bed pucks on a 2023 Ram 2500. If you have different years and models of Ram trucks though, please let me know so I can verify the hitch is compatible with that puck system.
It's also worth noting that the stationary hitch could potentially cause some turning clearance problems with the short bed truck. As long as you take your turns slow and you don't have to make super tight turns, you'll be fine.
Do you have any camping plans you're excited for this summer?

Hey Mike, how did the Curt A20 hitch end up working with your Ram trucks? I'm curious if you ran into any turning clearance issues with the short bed. Your experience could help others deciding between one hitch for both setups.
