Don't know about Ram, but you might take a look at the front of the bed, and the back of the cab, on either side.
My '05 F250 has rubber plugs in both the bed front panel and the rear of the cab, which I use to route the wiring for my Tarheel mounted at the front of the bed.

However that is not available of the new truck and the doors on it fit so tightly there isn't enough clearance to snake a cable over any door seal without pinching it badly.
