It sounds like your 2015 Ram 2500 has the 5th wheel prep package so all you will need is a hitch with enough capacity for the 5th wheel trailer. Since the trailer weighs 20,000 pounds, I recommend going with a hitch that is rated a little higher. The next step up from a 20K hitch would be a 24K hitch.

For a 24K hitch that will fit directly into the factory prep package you can use # C16545-16021. And that's all you need see you already have the connector in the truck bed. I have linked a video review of this hitch for you and links to the instructions.
