The best gooseneck hitch for your 2023 Ram 2500 is going to be the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch item # BWGNRK1320. This hitch is custom fit and includes all hardware necessary to complete installation on your truck. It has a massive 30,000 lbs capacity.
This underbed system allows you to store the 2-5/16" hitch ball upside down and inside your bed when you are not using it. This gives you full access to your bed when you're not towing. The locking handle is easily accessible inside your driver's side rear wheel well.
I have linked an installation video below to help you get this hitch set up.
To make towing with a gooseneck trailer easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your gooseneck trailer easier and more convenient.
