Expert Reply:
The Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16521 will fit in your 2020 Ram 1500 short bed and is designed to fit on industry standard base rails. If you don't have the OEM prep package for towing a 5th wheel trailer then you'll also need a rail kit; for that I recommend using the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56018-53. This is a custom fit rail kit that will minimize drilling and the outboard installed brackets make it even easier to install.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out. If you've got the OEM prep package just let me know and I can make an alternative recommendation.
