Expert Reply:
The only Blue Ox base plates we have that are confirmed to fit the Tradesman Trim Package of the 2018 Ram 1500 is, # BX2409.
For a compatible tow bar, I suggest the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar, # BX7420. This comes with the needed safety cables. You will also need a wiring solution for your indicator lights and supplemental braking.
I suggest:
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit, # RM-15267
Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System, # SM99251 (motor homes with hydraulic brakes)
Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System, # SM99243 (motor homes with air brakes)
Please note the linked installation video below.
