asked by: Joshua E
Expert Reply:
The Reese # RP30035-386 semi-custom install rail/bracket kit will fit a 2018 Ram 1500 unless it has the factory air suspension system or the Eco Diesel engine. If you have the air suspension system, you'll want to use the custom kit, part # RP50142-58.
If you have the Eco Diesel engine, use # RP30035-523 for vehicles without the factory air suspension or if you do have the factory air suspension the # RP50142-58 will work.
Each kit provides industry standard 5th wheel bed rails that will fit 5th wheel hitches from Reese, Curt, Draw-Tite, B&W (Patriot), Demco, Valley and Husky among others.
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 up over the tailgate, you can install one using part # C56000. You can see an install video for the wiring harness/connector by using the provided link.
