Helpful Expert Reply:
Since you already have the fifth wheel prep package in your 2018 Ram 2500, you only need to use a rail adapter to mount the Patriot:
- Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # RP30154
- B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3200
The adapter will mount directly in your Ram's puck system, and you will simply mount the Patriot on the adapter and you're set! The accompanying photo is one that a customer sent in of the Reese adapter on a Ram, and I have also added links to a couple video reviews for you to check out.
