Question:
I have a 2018 Ford F-350 and needing a front hitch to mount a motorcycle/dirt bike carrier. Do you have?

Starting with the front hitch for your 2018 Ford F-350 I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65076. This is confirmed to fit your truck and will provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening and a 500 pound vertical load limit. Just note that the plastic air deflector/fascia will need to be removed for installation. It can just be left off once finished or you can trim it and reattach it with the hitch installed.
I have attached the written installation instructions that you can also look through.
If you don't already have a motorcycle carrier I recommend taking a look at the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979033. I like this carrier because it is relatively lightweight at just around 50 pounds which allows for a heavier bike to secure to the carrier without creeping up towards the weight limit of the hitch and your truck. You can add tie-down straps like the ProGrip # 317-412080 to secure your bike to the carrier.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this carrier that you can look at as well.
