For your 2021 Ram 2500 with OEM prep package I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550035 with the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6099. The rail adapter will allow you to easily mount and unmount the hitch from the bed of your truck using the puck system.

This hitch is rated for 21,000lbs to safely handle the GVWR of your Keystone Montana 3131RL. Since you have a short bed you need a sliding hitch to help prevent the nose of your trailer from coming into contact with the cab of your truck. This sliding hitch has 14" of movement and automatically engages the slider so that you won't have to get out of your truck to manually unlock and then relock the slider to make tight turns. The wraparound, single-piece jaw provides 360-Degree jaw-to-king-pin contact for less rattle and more security than slide-bar jaws and the 3/4" thick, solid steel locking bar reinforces the connection of your coupled trailer for a secure and safe ride.
