To power you Warn 8000lb Winch on your trailer with your 2018 Ram 3500 Diesel Dually I recommend using the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit - Quick Connect to Terminal End # BDW20026 which has the quick disconnects you are looking for.

When we installed this kit we used the No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket # 18140 to mount the quick connect to the trailer hitch receiver.

I included a video of the Bulldog # BDW20026 being installed for you to take a look at.
