Expert Reply:
If the towing capacity of your 2019 Ram 2500 exceeds the loaded weight of the trailer then you can pull it. Since the dry weight of your trailer is 12,725 lbs and your towing capacity is 14,410 lbs that means you will have 1,685 lbs left over for cargo which should be enough therefore you will be able to safely pull this trailer with your vehicle.
If you have the factory prep package then you can use the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3670 which is largely considered to be the best 5th wheel hitch on the market.
