Expert Reply:
The Curt 20K 5th wheel trailer hitch # C16530-16021 is designed to fit Ram trucks that have the factory installed 5th wheel prep package with the 4 pucks in the bed. If your 2013 Ram has the factory prep package then the hitch will fit.
But since you mentioned you have a short bed then you will likely need a slider (unless the trailer was specifically designed to be towed by a short bed truck). For a slider on a Ram with the factory prep package you would need adapter # C16022 and then a hitch, # C16541, which is the slider version of the Curt 20K.
