For your 2017 Ram 3500 with 6 foot Bed and Factory Rail Kit, I recommend the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs # C16546. This sliding 5th wheel hitch connects to your factory rail kit using the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ram Towing Prep Package # C16022 or the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs # RP30154. Both the hitch and the adapter are necessary for this system. You do not want to exceed the capacity on your hitch or your rail adapter.

You may also want to consider the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Plug # 50-97-410 for easier connection to your wiring by adding a second 7-way to the bed of your truck.

For your gooseneck hitch, I recommend the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60618 or if you want to use the Reese above bed adapter rails, you can use the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails, 25,000 lbs GTW # 16085.
