For your 2020 Laredo 325RL 5th Wheel Trailer your best option for a hitch is with an adjustable, frame-mounted option like the excellent Curt # 13703. I really like this particular hitch because of its versatility, as it's able to fit box frames, C-channel frames, and I-beam frames that are 22" to 72" wide. It will provide you with plenty of capacity for the 1,500 pound trailer you plan on pulling and it can be either bolted on using the included hardware or welded on for a no-drill application.

I have attached a sample installation video below that you can use for reference.
