The Demco 18K Fifth Wheel Hitch part # DM8550034 or the higher capacity 21K option part # DM8550035 with the adapter part # DM6099 is the best option for an autoslide fifth wheel hitch for the 2020 Ram 2500 compared to the Pullrite hitches.
The Demco is a better option is the hitches have 3" adjustable height settings at 15-1/4", 16-1/2", and 18" which allows you to lower the hitch to tow level if you need to. The Pullrite hitches are designed with one height setting of 18-1/2".
Also the Demco auto slide hitches part # DM8550034 and part # DM8550035 have a built in capture plate to lock the pin box to the hitch instead of needing to purchase a separate capture plate with the Pullrite hitches. The capture plate is needed to allow the auto sliding hitch to move with the pin box.
