Okay we can definitely get your 2019 Ram 2500 set up to tow your 5th wheel trailer, and since your trailer has a rotating pin box, what you will need is a fixed hitch that is compatible with that type of pin box. The Ram Boxes on your truck won't factor into the fit, because the issue with those is that they cause clearance issues with the pin box, but the rotating Turning Point takes care of that. So, the best 5th wheel hitch compatible with the Turning Point, as well as base rails for your 2019 Ram 2500 are from Curt:
- Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115
- Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck - Carbide Finish # C16427-204 or Gloss Finish # C16427-104
As for the brackets and base rail kit, these are the best option because they do not require any drilling into your frame rails to install, which is great for your Ram. There is no type of adapter needed, but you will need a 5th wheel wiring harness for your truck, with the correct fit being the following:
