Recommendations for 2021 ram 2500 hd without the puk system

Expert Reply:
For a 2021 Ram 2500 that doesn't have the OEM prep package I would recommend the B and W Companion hitch with Turnoverball rail kit part # BWGNRK1320. Since you have a short bed truck there's a chance you'd need a slider hitch part # BWRVK3400 to provide additional turning clearance. If the trailer you plan to tow has a tapered nose though like most of the modern trailers do you'd be able to get by with a fixed hitch like part # BWRVK3500.
Either way a slider hitch can still work for you but a fixed hitch is a little lighter weight and has less moving parts so ends up being quieter.
