Just bought a 2016 Ram with the 5th wheel prep. The puck system is all included, just look under the 4 plastic covers. I bought a B&W hitch assembly just like the one shown above. It hooked right into the factory setup.
The 5th hole, in the middle over the axle, has a plastic cover, but there should be nothing under that cover. It is drilled so you can install a gooseneck hitch of your choice. That type of hitch will require the mounting plates that fit onto the frame rails, then the ball will stick up through the factory-drilled hole. B&W also makes a turnover ball assy. to fit that truck. Then, you could also get the B&W 5th wheel hitch that mounts into the turnover ball socket. If you do that, you do not need the model shown in the above photo.
Factory prep includes a gooseneck hitch in the 5th hole. Chris
