Question:
My 2018 ram 2500 cam with the 4 mounts in the bed but nothing in the center for a gooseneck not even the hole cut out. So either way ima have to buy a hitch for this to work with?

Hey Taylor, are the 4 mounts you have in the bed of your 2018 Ram 2500 in the recessed part of the truck bed where the OEM pucks would normally be? I guess it would be possible the gooseneck hitch is under your bed and you'd just need to cut the hole to access it but there's also a chance you have a different brand hitch under your bed.
I'd look under the truck bed and see if you can see a brand or label anywhere on the underbed hitch to determine what exactly you have and we can go from there.

Hey Taylor, did you have a chance to check under your truck bed to see if there's a brand or label on the hitch? I'm asking because knowing what you found could help others in a similar situation.
