Hello Glen. It is very easy to tell if your 2018 Ram has the OEM Prep package or not. Just look in the bed of your truck. If your truck has pucks in the bed like the pictures below, then you have the OEM prep package. If there are no pucks in the bed, you do not have the prep package and you will need to install an underbed gooseneck hitch like the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1384.
