Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Ram 3500 with the factory prep kit and a 6-1/2 foot bed I highly recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3670. This particular hitch is designed to drop right into the factory pucks on your Ram (all other available sliding hitches require an additional adapter to connect with the pucks) and the 1 inch thick dual jaws on the head make for an extremely secure connection for a quiet and smooth ride.
The Companion also has a fully articulating head to help with hookup and its 3 height settings will allow you to keep the trailer level when connected to the truck. The built in slider provides 12 inches of front to back travel so you can make sharp turns without any cab interference. It has a 20,000 pound towing weight capacity and is made right here in the USA.
I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out.
