The Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550037 can easily fit in the bed of your 2016 Ram 3500 with the factory rail kit but you will have to use an adapter to provide the style of rails this hitch requires. For that you will need the part # DM6099 and you will be set! I attached a picture of what this will look like in the bed of your hitch as well as a review video for the rail kit.
