Features to know about
Built for Confident, Heavy-Duty Towing: 16,000 lbs GTW and 4,000 lbs Vertical Load Limit
This 5th-wheel hitch is built for real towing work with a 16,000-lb gross towing weight and a 4,000-lb vertical load limit. The thick steel base and 3/4" dual jaws form a solid, consistent connection between truck and trailer. Whether you’re heading across a few states or just pulling down the highway, you’ll feel the stability of a hitch meant to stay quiet and locked in mile after mile. The gray powder coat helps resist corrosion to keep it looking clean and ready for the long haul.
Secure Jaw Grip That Cuts Down on Rattle: Dual Jaw with 360-Degree King Pin Contact
The dual-jaw design wraps the trailer’s king pin with full 360-degree contact for a tight, stable hold. That means less rattle, fewer jolts, and a quieter ride compared to slide-bar systems. The fully articulating head works front to back and side to side to move naturally with the trailer, keeping everything smooth and steady even over rougher roads. Polyurethane bushings between the pivot arms absorb vibration so you don’t feel the harsh feedback through your truck.
No-Hassle Hookup and Release: Cam-Action Latching Handle
The cam-action handle makes coupling and uncoupling simple—even when terrain isn’t level. You can release the jaws without fighting binding pressure; if the jaws stay closed under load, just pull forward slightly and they open right up. It’s held in place by a pin and clip while you tow, or you can use a padlock (sold separately) for added security. It’s one of those smart touches that saves time every trip.
Dial In Your Setup Fast: Adjustable Height and Fore/Aft Mounting
Getting your trailer level and maintaining cab clearance is easy thanks to adjustable pivot arms that can be mounted in different positions on the base. You have 4 height settings between 16" and 19" plus about 4" of front-to-back adjustment to fine-tune how it sits in your bed. Once dialed in, it stays solidly planted for predictable handling every time you hook up.
Smooth Operation That Stays Quiet on the Road: Polyurethane Bushings at the Pivot Points
The head of this hitch rides on durable polyurethane bushings that keep metal parts from clanking together as you drive. This setup helps reduce chucking and vibration so both truck and trailer feel more connected. It’s the kind of refinement you notice not just when towing heavy but also in how much quieter and more relaxed every trip feels.

Video Transcript for B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Head Assembly Replacement Review
Hello, neighbors, this is Brad here at "etrailer," and today, we're taking a look at the BMW Patriot replacement head assembly for the Patriot fifth wheel. Now whether you're replacing a damaged head that you had on your Patriot, or you just wanna refresh what you currently have, or even if you have a bunch of trucks in the fleet, and don't wanna buy the whole assembly, you can simply swap this head back and forth to each vehicle, and having that replacement head is a great option. That way you're not having to buy the full fifth wheel kit. Now it's gonna have all the same functions as the previous Patriot head that you had. So you still have that locking jaw, you still have that nice handles to drop it in place. It goes around those urethane bushings, and overall, just a great head.
If you've ever used a Patriot before, you know right away that it's really great to use. It's super easy and it articulates enough. So even on unlevel ground hooking up or unhooking is no problem. And just as you did before to drop your new head on, it's gonna go on just like you had your previous fifth wheel. (metal clanking) Just right there.
Drop in place, pull your handle back, hook up to your kingpin, and you're ready to go. Now this is gonna be a perfect replacement for the 18K that we have here, as well as your sliding 18K and also the 16K. Now as you've probably seen before, BMW has that nice gray powder coat finish, and it feels durable and feels great. All the touchpoints are really nice on here. And your cam-actuating handle here is really nice for that jaw.
It's gonna cut down on rattling around as like your slide pin normally would. And it also has that nice security, the fact that it goes all the way around that kingpin. Now this is rated at 18,000 pounds, so again, it's a direct replacement for this one here. But if you have a 16,000 base, just because this is rated at 18,000, you're gonna want to go with that lower number just to stay safe. You also have that vertical limit or load of 4,500 pounds.
And that was a look at the BMW replacement head assembly for the Patriot fifth wheel.

I bought this hitch to replace a slider hitch from another manufacturer. I wanted something I could get out of the bed without help, and with the 2" offset, I can get plenty of angle in a tight turn, thus eliminating the need for a slider.
So far this hitch is fantastic. Hook up is so easy. Handle moves with zero effort. Same for unhooking. As soon as it was installed, I did a test run, and it was rock solid. I tried to make it chuck when starting and stopping. It wouldn't do it. Zero slop. On that note, the tolerances are tight on this thing from the bolt holes to the legs that insert it into the rails. My rails we're not perfectly lined up and required a little dremel and foot stomping to get it in the rails.
In summary, if your looking for solid, conventional, non-slider FW hitch, this one is a great choice.

Bought this in a hurry and was planning to have it installed by a shop. On a whim I printed the instructions and decided it was worth my time to save $400. Took about six hours over three days to get it done including set up and cleanup each day. Done in my driveway with mostly basic stuff and picked up a 31’ camper with it a couple days later and dragged it 70 miles to the spot it will stay for a while without any issues at all. All parts fit very well and the instructions are good enough to allow anybody with some wrenching skills to install it. The longest amount of time is getting the first rail exactly in place and pinned down. The rest was just pretending to be a contortionist to get all the spacers, washers and nuts on and tightened. On an ‘18 F150 there is no way to get a socket to 8 of the 10 bolts so a long box end wrench and lock tight were my friends. I was able to precisely torque all the bolts to two ugga duggas and then add “that ain’t going anywhere” for extra protection. The in frame bolts however did get torqued using a torque wrench, if it makes anyone feel better. Only gripe I have is my truck is black and it is light grey but whatever, I will survive. And ya I would buy another one if ever needed.

I received my BW Patriot hitch today. They processed my order quickly and shipping was quick, it arrived in two days. I assembled and installed it. Directions were clear. It is very well built and seems like it will tow like descripted. Looking forward to trying it out. I'm happy that these hitches are all American made.

Ordered for a 2022 F150 3.5 liter ecoboost. Fit perfectly. Have towed with it twice already in conjunction with an anderson ultimate hitch towing a grand design 150 series 230rl fifth wheel. Product was pretty light weight and I installed myself. Easy installation for me (heavy equipment diesel mechanic) but I'm certain a novice can do it also with some time and proper tools

Hitch came quickly and installation was easy. Only hiccup was I have a curt rail adaptor for a turnover ball and one of the braces rubbed a support for the rail but was easily corrected. Hook up to and disconnects from my fifth wheel camper with ease. I have not towed with the hitch as of yet.

This came with 7 of the 8 needed 1/2 bolts so I have a hunk of metal that I can’t use until the company gets me the missing parts.. But my main gripe is with customer service. I have emailed two times, two days in a row, and called and left a voicemail but still haven’t heard back. Very dissatisfied with the service.

Installed myself on a 97 F-350 DRW. Having never done this before, I was a bit uncertain, but it was really quite simple. Honestly the hardest part was reaching all the bolts with my torque wrench (purchased some long extensions and a creeper). Don't forget the odd drill bit size if you are going to DIY.
Don't forget to order the "lube plate".
Maiden Voyage:
Towed 14k 5th wheel from CA to Arkansas and back. No issues with the hitch whatsoever.
Hooking up is pretty straight forward. It takes some practice to get the level of the kingpin on the trailer just right. Unhooking seems to require getting the height of the trailer just right, taking most of the weight off of the hitch.
I'm still a bit confused on the release lever. When unhooking, I remove pin and pull lever. It seems like it wants to snap back into closed position, but if the weight is off the hitch, when driving away it seems to just let go.
As a noob, I made one fatal mistake. I didn't put the tailgate up after my first post-install test. I only wanted to pull the trailer forward and back it up, turning the wheel slightly to move trailer over a couple feet. The tailgate made contact with the trailer and punched a hole in the underside. Paybattention to the tailgate!

I believe that the trailer may be on uneven terrain or there remains too much pressure from the trailer that is keeping the jaws closed. Readjusting the landing gear can relieve the pressure enough to allow the jaws to open. Use the safety pin to lock the handle in the open position and when you are sure that the landing gear will support the trailer, move the truck forward to release the jaws from the kingpin. The jaws will always open when the pressure of the trailer is taken off the coupler as the truck pulls away.

I bought the B&W 16K Patriot hitch knowing it was a bolt together hitch. Having said that the process was complicated by nut retainers supplied by B&W were not strong enough to do their designed job. I spoke with B&W about this and they offerd to replace them but the design was the same.
The hitch itself, once assembled, is fantastic. It is solid and quiet and the adjustability of the head position makes it very versatile as well.
I would recommend the B&W Patriot, but think it would be better if you can, to spend the other $200 and get the welded base 18K model.

A great, well made American product. Easily assembled if you choose to install it yourself as I did. I am a big fan of the cam lock and handle assembly for the jaws. There is no movement or noise when pulling our 5th wheel. I would recommend this hitch to anyone needing such a product and would recommend you buy it from etrailer.

- Base Rails for 2026 Ford F-150 with Husky Bent Plate Gooseneck HitchHey Martin! While we don't carry the Husky Bent Plate gooseneck hitch, I was able to find it online that it uses standard fifth wheel rails. For your 2026 Ford F-150 Crew Cab with the 5-1/2' bed, you'll use B&W Custom Installation Kit # BW39FR. This is a custom-fit kit for your truck so it includes the above-bed base rails and below-bed mounting brackets to retain the most use of your bed while keeping the rails installed. Based on the dimensions, the Husky Bent Plate gooseneck is going...
view full answer... - Can an Anderson Hitch and Offset Ball be Used for 5th Wheel Towing with a 2019 Ford F-150 5-1/2' BedHey Greg, thanks for reaching out! The Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 or even the Aluminum version that we don't carry, are great solutions for a 6-1/2' or 6-3/4' bed, but since your 2019 Ford F-150 has the 5-1/2' bed we need to go a different route. Moving the coupling point back far enough for you to gain adequate clearance will be too dangerous and will cause you to lose traction with the front tires of your F-150 - we need a solution that keeps the pin weight closer to right...
view full answer... - Above Bed Rails for 2024 Ford F-150 With 6-1/2' BedHi Roger; for your 2024 F-150 I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BW39FR. B&W makes great, reliable products that are made in the USA. If you don't like the gray and would prefer black then the Demco # DM8552028-71 is also available. Both of these will work with a 5th wheel hitch like the Patriot # BWRVK3270.

- Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2017 Ford F-150 6.5 BedI do have some great fifth wheel hitch options for a 2017 Ford F-150 but because of the short bed you have to use a sliding fifth hitch which creates turning clearance between the cab and trailer. The fact of the matter is that sliding fifth wheel hitches are not light. That said, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3270 isn't too bad and the head can be removed to help with some of the weight since you won't have to lift the whole hitch up at once. In order to use this...

view full answer... - Recommended B&W 5th Wheel Hitch and Sidewinder for 2019 Ford F-150 FX4 with 5.5 Foot BedFor your 2019 Ford F-150 FX4 with 5.5 foot bed, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BW39FR. Then I recommend using the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs # BWRVK3255 for your hitch. Because of the very short bed on your truck the only option for a pin box is to use a Sidewinder pin box which has a rotating turret that puts the pivot point back 22 inches from the hitch. This is what offers the turning clearance...

view full answer... - Will the B&W Companion Head Work With the B&W Patriot Base On a 2019 Ford F-150The B&W Companion and B&W Patriot use different hitch heads and they cannot be interchanged. Therefore, the best option would be to obtain the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BW77FR for a 2019 Ford F-150 so you could use the B&W Companion part # BWRVK3500 or part # BWRVK3400. The other option is to obtain the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails part # BW39FR for a 2019 Ford F-150 so you can use the B&W Patriot part # BWRVK3270 or part # BWRVK3255. If you...

I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120 over the others for a few different reasons. The first of which is that the A16 has 1" thick, dual interlocking jaws which will do a phenomenal job of reducing...

The custom kits will minimize drilling and install time when compared to universal kits so they are the way to go.

view full answer... - How to Remove Chucking From Fifth Wheel Trailer with Reese Revolution Pin BoxTypically it's the fifth wheel hitch that is responsible for chucking and bouncing. A looser fitting jaw to the king pin of the pin box is the number one reason for chucking. You didn't mention what hitch you have, but for a hitch with an excellent jaw design The B and W Patriot part # BWRVK3200 would be a great option. Then for a wedge to fit the hitch to your Reese Revolution the # SWW-06 would be the correct product.

You will want to go with a hitch that has the higher height adjustment and then you'll want to make sure your pin box of your trailer is adjustable as well. I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3200 which will use standard rails and will adjust up to 19 inches tall. This is a very strong hitch that is made in the USA.

The Reese rail kit part # RP30035 fits your truck and the Patriot so this would work great. You can't use the Companion hitches with the Turning Point pin boxes so that would not be the route to go.

view full answer... - Will A 16K B&W Companion Ford For A 5th Wheel With UVW Of 7,876 lbs?Hello John. It sounds like the 16K B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3200 will be more than sufficient for your camper. You will want to confirm the gross weight of your camper, but with the unloaded weight being only 7,876, the gross weight should be nowhere near 16K. As long as the GVWR is less than 16K, the Patriot hitch will work great for you. The 18K version part # BWRVK3255 is available, but the additional capacity really should not be needed.

A Sidewinder moves the pivot point from the hitch jaws to the turret, and without it you won't be able to make turns because a standard pin box will contact your RamBoxes.

These hitches are made in the USA, have a 25,000 lb capacity, and will drop right into the OEM pucks on your Ford. If you have regular ISR rails you can use # BWRVK3200 which has only a 16K capacity but its still made by B&W, or you can use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 which has the 25K capacity you're looking for, but it isn't made by B&W.
