To add a gooseneck hitch to your 2006 Ram 2500 Laramie with the 6-1/2 Foot bed I recommend using the Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # C60682. This gooseneck hitch installs under the bed so you'll have a clear truck bed when the ball is removed and it installs without any required drilling, so it's an easy to add option.

If you don't already have a 7 way plug in the truck bed for easy connection to your trailer, I recommend using the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug # HM42137. This will install into the side of the truck bed and provide you with a 7 way plug for your gooseneck so you don't have to try to stretch the trailer plug all the way to the bumper.

I've linked some review and installation videos of these parts for you to check out.
