The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller, # 16516 mounts onto ISR bed rails not directly into the OEM puck system. To use this hitch with your 6-1/2' bed, OEM Prep Pkg. 2018 Ram, you will need something such as the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package, # C16022. Or the Reese version, 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package, # RP30154. Each of these options simply use the OEM puck system to provide traditional above bed ISR type bed rails.

My recommendation for your 2018 Ram 2500 with the OEM prep package is to use the 20K rated B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package, # BWRVK3670.

But yes, the Curt E16, # 16516 that you linked to can be used with your truck as long as you also use the adapter plate # C16022.
