For your 2018 Ford F-150 I recommend the Curt Class IV Receiver Hitch # C26HR because of its superior weight ratings, concealed crosstube for a nice OEM appearance, and the fact that it's made right here in the USA.

This Class IV hitch features a towing weight capacity of 10,000 pounds and a tongue weight limit of 1,000 pounds. Keep in mind though that you will still need to adhere to the capacities of your F-150 as listed in the owner's manual if they are lower. The design on this particular hitch allows only the 2 inch receiver to be visible (see attached image) which will look great on your brand new truck. It will use existing holes in the truck's frame for a no-drill installation and all the needed hardware is included.

I have attached an installation video that you can also use for reference.
