Yes, the Draw Tite Front Hitch part # 65062 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie and would work well for you.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

You may need to retain tow hooks on the front of your truck, so if that is important to you the Curt front hitch part # 31374 would be the better option as it has tow hook loops built into the hitch. If the tow hooks aren't an issue for you the Draw Tite would be my recommendation since it's priced better.
