Expert Reply:
The best 5th wheel hitch for a 2024 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system is going to be either the standard B&W Companion item # BWRVK3600 or the B&W Companion Slider item # BWRVK3670. Which one you need will be determined by your bed length or type of pin box.
If you have an 8 foot bed or a rotating pin box you will want to go with the B&W Companion item # BWRVK3600. This hitch has a 25,000 lbs capacity. The base of this hitch will attach directly to your factory puck system without the need for an adapter.
If your Ram has the shorter 6-1/2 foot bed you will want the B&W Companion Slider item # BWRVK3670. The Companion slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns. The slider base will also attached directly to your factory puck system.
I have linked a couple of videos below to show you how to get these hitches set up.
