Thank you for purchasing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98852 for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock through us!

The # e98852 you purchased has a 600lb tongue weight rating and 6000lb trailer weight rating if not using a weight distribution hitch, or a 1000lb tongue weight rating and 10000lb trailer weight rating if using a weight distribution hitch so as long as your 18' ski boat does not exceed those ratings you will be just fine.

Keep in mind that the towing capacity of your Ram is limited to the lowest rated component which could be your truck so I recommend reaching out to Ram with your VIN to confirm the towing capacity of your truck, and use the lower rating between your truck and the # e98852.

I included a video of the # e98852 being installed on a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic for you to take a look at.
