The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1320 and Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1320-5W are exactly the same. They are just titled differently so that anyone that is looking to use the hitch with one of the Companion 5TH Wheel Hitches Slider # BWRVK3400-5W or Fixed # BWRVK3500-5W will be able to find it easier. The # BWGNRK1320 is the correct hitch for your 2022 Ram 2500 with the 6-1/2' Ram Box and rear leveling system.
Your 2016 Ram would have used the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1384.
If you are planning to tow a 5th wheel camper you will need to use a Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 with Base Rail kit # RP30035-522 and have a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR and Wedge # RP44FR. This is needed as a traditional pin box can contact the sides of your Ram Box and cause damage to the truck and 5th wheel while turning. I have linked an article below with more information of 5th wheel towing with the Ram Box.
Finally a Demco 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # DM8555002 will allow you to add a 7-way connector inside the bed of your Ram Box.
