For your 2018 Ram 2500 we have the # C16520-16021 which is the Curt A16 hitch and the # C16530-16021 which is the Q20. Aside from the weight capacity differences the A series of hitches has a upgraded head and jaw design that's a bit more robust.
So for the A20 that fits your truck instead you'd want the part # C16044. Basically you'd want to determine the weight of the trailer you plan to tow and then get the hitch that best matches the capacity needed. The A Series is the latest and nicest option so either A Series hitch would be the way to go.
