Expert Reply:
The # RP50148 brackets are a fit for a 2018 Ram 1500 6-14/2 foot bed, as long as it doesn't have the Diesel engine.
Unless you already have a set of Reese 5th wheel bed rails, you'd actually need # RP50142-58, which includes the rails. The # RP50142 you'd looked at is the frame brackets only.
If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector cable up over the tailgate, you can install one using part # C56000.
