Hey John, if it were me I would go with the OEM Ram puck kit installed in the bed of your 2024 Ram 2500 as will give you the best fifth wheel hitch solutions as well will be an easier selling point for the truck when you one day want to sell the truck.
For a manual slider hitch the Companion hitch part # BWRVK3670 would be a great option that fits directly to the OEM pucks or if you prefer an auto slider the part # DM69GV is a really nice option too this will automatically slide back as you make tight turns.
