It sounds like you need wiring to flat tow your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 and for that you need the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 4-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15247 as there is no straight plug-in harness available. Please keep in mind that you will also need to disconnect your Silverado's battery when towing and the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect # RM-766 is highly recommended to make this process easier.
I've added links to video reviews and installs of both products for you to check out.
