The Tekonsha 7-Way Trailer Emulator Blade Style Connector # 6562 that you referenced SHOULD work with the factory brake controller you have in your 2013 Ram 2500. However, we do know for a fact that this won't work on the 2009-2012 Dodge controllers

Factory integrated brake controllers are sort of hit and miss in terms of compatibility with items such as the Tekonsha emulator, # 6562. It all depends on the power draw required to tell the integrated brake controller there is a trailer connected. In recent years the integrated brake controllers have become less finicky and seem to work more consistently with products like this.

I would be very inclined to say yes it would work, but since there hasn't been any formal testing I can't positively confirm it for you.
