Expert Reply:

I have a solution for you, but the Blue Ox # BX1682 are not a confirmed fit on the 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn edition. Instead, you'll need to use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU74FR, which are compatible with Blue Ox Acclaim, Adventurer, Aladdin, Allure, Alpha, Avail, Aventa, and Trion tow bars.

There are some other parts that you might need in order to complete your flat towing package for a 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn, like tow bar wiring, safety cables, supplemental braking and a high/low adapter. If you also need new tow bar wiring for your vehicle, the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 provide you with a diode based wiring kit to help prevent feedback that could damage your vehicle's electrical system.

If you're also in need of a supplemental braking system, the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional # BLU37TR is a great option that is portable, easy to set up and will provide you with proportional braking for your toad.

I've also linked our entire selection of high/low adapters and safety cables that you can search through, if you're in need of those parts, as well.
