For your 2018 Ram 3500 that has the factory hitch I recommend the Draw Tite hitch part # DT45509 as it has a very high towing capacity of 18,000 lbs, has a 2-1/2 inch hitch opening, and will replace your factory hitch. I attached a picture of a review that a customer left us for this hitch that speaks for itself!
