Expert Reply:
Yes the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16044 will fit in the 6'7" bed on your 2020 Ram 3500. The OEM mounts are the same pattern for both the long and short bed trucks. I always recommend getting the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3670. This allows you to slide the hitch back 12" to prevent the front cap from contacting the cab of your truck if you ever get into a jackknife turning situation. It will also make connecting to your camper easier when the hitch is slid back into the maneuvering position as you will be able to access your tailgate as well underneath storage.
