The best gooseneck hitch we have for your 2012 Ram 3500 is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1308 for gasoline engines or part # BWGNRK1313 for diesel engines. The RamBox will not have turning clearance issues with a gooseneck hitch. Both hitches come with a 2-5/16" hitch ball and have a 30,000 lb gross towing weight.

B&W hitches are considered to be the best on the market. They are all made here in the U.S.A. and come with a limited lifetime warranty. I have attached a review and sample install video on the gasoline/diesel version for you as well.
