There is an auto-slide fifth wheel hitch for the 2020 Ram 2500 short bed without OEM prep. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider part # DM8550034 is the best option for an auto slider hitch. The Demco Hijacker has 3 height adjustments of 15-1/4", 16-1/2", and 18" for bed rail clearance compared to the Pullrite that does not have that adjustability. The Hijacker's pin box capture plate is also built in unlike the Pull-rite hitch that has a separate capture plate.
To install the fifth wheel hitch you need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP50054-58 in the bed of the Ram.
