Yes, the Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitch # 9464-57 is a fit for your 2013 Ram 2500 Mega Cab short bed. Draw-Tite lists this hitch as a fit for all styles of the 2013 Ram 2500. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

Since you have a short bed truck I also recommend adding offset ball # 19308 which will provide 5 more inches of clearance.

So for your set up, a 2021 Ram 2500 short bed with the RamBoxes, you will need to use a Sidewinder in order to have the clearance to tow a 5th wheel. The Goose Box doesn't move the pivot point and an offset ball just won't be enough for…
