Compatibility of Front Mounted Hitch and Brush Guard on 2018 Ram 3500
Question:
I have a 2018 Ram 3500 Dually Diesel. I want to put a brush guard and a front hitch on it. Any recommendations?

Expert Reply:
Since you are seeing both a grille guard and a front mounted hitch on your 2018 Ram 3500 I will give you fit and the caveat to using both.
For your hitch I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65063 which will attach at the tow hooks of your Ram. This will give you an extremely clean look on your truck and is a simple installation.
The issue is the grille guards also attach at this same location, so manufacturers will tell you they are not compatible. We have seen customers use both sandwiching the mounts, but that will void the warranty of both products so that is the caveat. If it were me, I'd use the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate - Black Powder Coated Steel # 57-3555 for that application, but you will need to determine if you want both or want to choose between them to maintain your warranty. I've linked the page to all your options.
