Yes, for your 2020 Ram 2500 short bed I highly recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16541 along with the Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit # RP50054-58.
The A20 hitch features a forged, dual-piece jaw that wraps completely around the trailer king pin. This not only creates an extremely secure connection to the trailer but also allows for a really smooth, quiet ride during travel. The round tube slider provides smooth operation and its 12" of travel gives you the needed cab clearance during sharp turns.
The A20 features a 20,000 pound towing weight capacity.
The mentioned Quick-Install Kit includes all the hardware needed to install the base rails for mounting the hitch. Its custom brackets will line up to existing holes in the truck's frame rails so you don't have to drill into them.
