The Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 20K, # RP30918, will fit with the puck system in your 2021 Ram 2500. However, since you have the short bed model you should use a slider a model.

For a 20K rated hitch, I suggest the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K, # BWRVK3670. This is specially designed to attach to the receivers on your factory 5th-wheel towing prep package, the slider base on this hitch helps eliminate clearance concerns during slow-speed turns and the dual-jaw hitch removes without a trace for full bed access. The 1" thick (more than any other fifth wheel hitch) dual jaws provide a 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact which results in less rattle and more security than slide-bar jaws. It has a fully articulating head that eases hookup and helps to limit chucking, pivots front-to-back and side-to-side. This is not only made in USA but all of its parts and materials are sourced in USA as well. B&W is one of the highest rated hitches on the market, we currently (as of this writing) have a 4.9 rating with well over a thousand customer reviews for this product.
