For your 2021 Ram 3500 with the OEM rail kit the high capacity fifth wheel hitch I recommend is the Reese M5 part # RP37FR that has the 27k capacity. I have a buddy who went from the Companion hitch to this and he said this hitch was much smoother and easier to use. Keep in mind the Companion for a long time was considered to be the quietest hitch out there so if the M5 beats the Companion it would be the ultimate hitch solution for you.
