When installing the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31374 on your 2018 Ram 1500, fascia trimming is optional. The fascia will flex with installation of the hitch. I will attach a diagram showing what you should cut off below of the fascia if you decide to go in that direction. The Curt front mount hitch has an easy, bolt-on installation with no welding required. The hitch is manufactured in The USA.

I linked an installation video below of the Curt Front Mount Hitch being installed onto a 2017 Ram 1500. The installation process will be the same for your 2018 Ram 1500. If you have any further questions please feel free to reach back out to me anytime and I would be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.
