Steve, it really depends on the size of bed that you have with your 2024 Ram 2500. If you have a 6 1/2 foot bed with the OEM prep package, then part # BWRVK3670 would be the best option. Sliding hitches are what are needed for 6 1/2 inch beds to make turns with out hitting the back of the cab. If you have the 8 foot bed with the prep package then you can use part # BWRVK3600 without issue. I have also included a FAQ on 5th wheel towing for reference.
