The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Dodge Trucks # VGD-10-4000 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Ram 2500 Big Horn truck. The cab size and bed size you mentioned will work fine.

You may also be interested in the Louvered Tailgate Insert # VI-4000 or the Louver Insert Kit # 4000-V. These both are made specifically for this tailgate and provide a different appearance as well as additional security when not towing your 5th wheel trailer.
