2013 Ram 5th wheel hitch

I don't know if anyone has posted on this yet but I looking for a 18k hitch for a 2013 Ram 3500 with the factory 5th wheel kit installed. The dealer can only come up with one for 16k and that won't work for my new toy hauler. The local hitch dealer said it would be a Curt hitch but only available from a Ram dealer. I can't believe that only a dealer would have the hitch for this truck and since they said it would tow close to 30k there has to be a hitch out there somewhere.
So hopefully one of you all will have the answer for me. Thanks and Happy Camping

Are you looking for just a hitch or the addapter kit for the fifth wheel prep package? I bought the Curt Q24 on Amazon. Hitch has a 24,000 capacity and a 6000 lb pin weight capacity.
Where you able to get a fifth wheel adapter kit for the 2013 3500?
