Hi Octavio,
The CIPA Custom Slip-on Towing Mirrors part # CM11400 would work perfectly for your 2018 Ram 1500! Since they are a custom fit, they'll slide straight over your factory mirrors and won't require any adjustments. You can manually adjust the mirror faces to customize your view for not hassle adjustments. If you have chrome mirrors on your truck, however, the CM11400 will not fit your factory mirrors.
If you do have chrome mirrors, none of the slip-on towing mirrors will fit them and a clip-on style mirror would have to be used instead. In that case, I recommend using the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors w/Convex Mirror part # KS3891-2. They have extra-large convex mirrors that make reflections appear smaller than with a flat mirror so you can see more. They also have pivoting joints in the middle of the arms to allow you to make more adjustments. Sliding clips hold onto the edge of the factory mirror and are tightened with rubber straps to secure it to the mirror.
What are you planning on towing that you need to use the mirrors for?

If you have similar mirrors as I do, that are not chrome, then I highly recommend these towing mirrors, as they both look amazingonmyRam pickup, and function equally well; https://www.etrailer.com/Towing-Mirrors/CIPA/CM11400.html

I used these on a 2016 Ram 2500 crew cab / Laramie with sport mirrors before i replaced my mirrors to Trailer Tow Mirrors . They worked quite well just be aware they will rub a bit on your mirror mount .. definitely increased your view for towing . Highly recommended!
