The fifth wheel hitch I recommend for a 2020 Ram 3500 with RamBox is the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 along with Base Rails # RP50085-58. This hitch has a superior jaw-to-king-pin design that is always ready to receive so you don't have to open the hitch prior to hooking up the trailer. This also has a fully articulating head and built-in shock dampening for a smooth and easy ride.

Please note, the RamBox feature will require that you install a rotating pin box on the trailer to ensure there is no contact. The Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin part # RP34FR is what you need for this along with the Sidewinder Wedge Kit part # RP44FR but that's it.
