Yes, the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 18,000lbs # DM8550034 will be compatible with your 2022 Ram 2500's factory prep package with the help of the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000lbs # DM6099. This adapter will allow the hitch to drop right into the factory pucks in the bed of your Ram for easy installation and removal.
If you have a Trailair Rota-Flex or Air Ride pin box then you will want to swap out the capture plates on this hitch with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide Capture Plates for Trailair Rota-Flex Pin Boxes # DM6171 to prevent the king pin of your pin box from rotating inside the jaws of the hitch.
If you don't already have an in-bed 7-way connector then I recommend installing the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 7' Long # C56070. This harness will simply plug into your factory 7-way and mount in the bed of your truck for easy hookup of your 5th wheel wheel trailer.
