If it came from the factory, yes, it is welded on. I'm guessing that you want to remove it for asthetic reasons. Personally, I'd just leave it b/c if you're rear-ended by another vehicle, it is just more to stop them.
As a side note, here in south florida people drive crazy and there are always an accident...so I started to just leave the trailer hitch in until I saw this poor kid probably around 8 or so whack his knee on it in a parking lot as I was walking out to the truck. He was OK. It was his fault, but I still felt bad so now I just put the Ram head plug back in.

I have an extra long hitch and ball sticking out of my receiver. I leave it in there all the time. Kind of an intimidation device for tailgaters. You might have trouble down the road when it comes time to sell your truck if it dosen't have a trailer hitch.

RE: Removing Trailer Hitch
I have a huge drop hitch hanging out of my truck at all times for towing my trailers. Saved me the other day. Got rear ended. Hitch when through the grill and radiator of a toyota. Not a scratch on the drop hitch, powder coat is great.
Also, this is one of the most foolish things I have ever heard, with all due respect of course. You drive a TRUCK. TRUCKS are supposed to have a hitch on them. Maybe you should rethink your purchase of a gas guzzling vehicle if you do not need it. The $20 or more a week you save in gas could pay for another toy.
