For your 2016 Ram with the factory puck system I highly recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550035 along with the Rail Adapter # DM6099.
The Demco Hijacker is an excellent hitch not only because of its automatic slider that allows you to stay in the comfort of your cab during sharp turns but also because of its wraparound single-piece jaw coupled with the 3/4 inch thick steel locking bar that provides an extremely secure connection to the trailer. This tight and sturdy attachment also allows for a really smooth ride without the noisy rattle that's present with a lot of other hitches. The Hijacker has a 21,000 pound towing weight capacity.
The above-mentioned Rail Adapter will drop right into the factory pucks on your Ram to provide industry-standard rails to which the Hijacker will attach.
I have included a couple short video demonstrations that you can check out as well.
