For your short bed 2016 Ram 2500 with the 5th wheel prep package, the best sliding 5th wheel hitch is from Demco:

- Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034

This hitch will mount in the factory pucks using the Demco 5th Wheel Rail adapter for Ram # DM6099. The Hijacker's automatic slide makes it the most convenient 5th wheel hitch available, but it also gives you an outstanding and quiet towing experience due to its unique jaw system.

The Hijacker # DM8550034 has a single-piece jaw that wraps totally around the king pin, and that connection is reinforced via a 3/4" solid steel bar that locks into place once the jaw is closed. The reinforced jaw system is what will give you a much quieter ride with less rattling and slack in the jaws than other hitches. Your ride is going to be made even more comfortable because of the Hijacker's cushioned dampeners, which are sort of like sponges that soak up both noise and vibration.
