Question:

Hello! New 2020 Ram 2500 with the short bed but WITHOUT the puck system. Hoping you can recommend a good sliding hitch and hardware. Thank you.

For your 2020 Ram 2500 I highly recommend the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16541, along with the Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit # RP50054-58.

The Curt Q20 Hitch features a superior forged dual-piece self-latching jaw that wraps completely around the trailer king pin for an extremely secure connection and a smooth, quiet ride during travel. Its sliding base will provide 12" of travel for the needed cab clearance during sharp turns and it sports a robust 20,000 pound towing weight capacity.

The above-mentioned install kit includes the necessary base rails for mounting and the custom brackets will use existing holes in your Ram's frame rails so you won't have to drill into them.
