Features to know about
Built for Heavy 5th Wheel Loads: 18,000 lbs GTW and 4,500 lbs Vertical Load Limit
The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch is a fixed, above-bed rail design built for serious towing. It’s rated for 18,000 lbs gross towing weight and a 4,500 lbs vertical load limit, giving you the strength and confidence needed for large 5th wheels and long hauls. The 3/4" thick dual jaws provide full 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact, so the trailer feels more stable under load with less movement. The gray powder-coated steel resists corrosion, keeping it reliable trip after trip.
Smooth Hookups and Easy Releases: Cam-Action Latching Handle
When you’re parked on uneven terrain or dealing with binding pressure on the king pin, the cam-action handle makes disconnecting simple. Just move the handle to the open position—if there’s any binding, easing the truck forward releases it without fuss. The handle locks closed with a pin and clip, or you can add your own padlock (5/16" shackle diameter, 3" height, 2-1/4" width) for extra security when hitched.
Quiet, Controlled Ride: Fully Articulating Head with Polyurethane Bushings
Towing feels solid and quiet thanks to the precise fit of the dual jaws and the polyurethane bushings that cushion movement between the head and pivot arms. The head pivots both front to back and side to side, letting it follow the trailer naturally while cutting down on clanking and chucking. That smooth articulation means less strain on your rig and a more comfortable ride mile after mile.
Adjusts for Proper Height and Cab Clearance: 16"–19" Hitch Height with 4" Fore/Aft Adjustment
Getting level towing setup is straightforward with four height settings from 16" to 19" and pivot arms that can be positioned forward or aft for up to 4" of adjustment. Whether you need more cab clearance or want to fine-tune trailer attitude, this simple arm placement system dials it in without extra parts or complexity.
Modular Design for Easier Handling: Two-Piece Assembly at 137 lbs Total Weight
This hitch weighs about 137 lbs total, but B&W designed it to separate into manageable sections—the head lifts off easily so one person can remove it without heavy equipment. That makes clearing the truck bed or storing the hitch much simpler between trips while keeping all the strength of a heavy-duty fixed hitch when installed.

A big step up from my slide bar hitch. Hitching and unhitching is a breeze now. Assembly and installation was simple and fast. I purchased the 18K over the 16K as it has a welded base as opposed to the bolt together base of the 16K Highly recommend.

I did my research on this hitch and was convinced it was the one I wanted yet I still felt the need to get some input from the pros, 2 phone calls (one to E-trailer and one to B&W) and I came away with peace of mind that the B&W was the right one for me. Best of all they did not try to up sell me to the 22k hitch two rv dealers tried to tell me I would need to safely pull the 16,500 gvwr 5th wheel I was in the process of buying. The hitch was reasonably priced, arrived in a timely manner in good condition and installation was straight forward. Bottom line I couldn’t be happier with my B&W hitch but most of all my decision to buy it from etrailer

We received the hitch and brackets packaged very well. The installation went well and pretty straight forward.
We did not have our 5th wheel to set the height but took a lucky guess at 18". We picked the RV up and couldn't be happier with this hitch. Absolutely no chucking, very smooth ride. We have an uneven slope to back down to get to our RV pad and were concerned about that. With the swivel on this hitch, backed with no problem. We wouldn't settle for any other hitch if we have to ever buy another one.
The RV sales and service people were very impressed with this hitch and the way it is set up with the frame brackets.
Very happy customers!

This hitch is amazing. I replaced an older Reese hitch. With my old hitch there was constant shucking and could feel the trailer pushing the truck while stopping. There is no more shucking and you can “barely tell” there’s a trailer behind me anymore. The coupling and uncoupling with the cam action lever is extremely simple!

I just got it installed looking forward to connecting the trailer. But, the trailer is in the shop! I spent a lot time evaluating hitches and decided on the B&W Patriot 18K. I would like to better packing for shipping, the finish on the hitch got damaged.

Purchased B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch from etrailer a year ago. Received the hitch right away without any problems. etrailer.com was easy to purchase from. We were first time buyers on a 5th wheel. Had been using a new competitors hitch we bought from our dealership. Worse purchase ever. The competitor had just gotten into the 5th wheel hitch part recently. Went through 5 heads we received from the competitor and the hitch still did not work right. It would take us half an hour to an hour to hook up or unhook. Decided to take loss on hitch and buy a B &W hitch. The B & W hitch was awesome. Hooks up and unhooks in minutes. It is so easy. Would recommend B &W and etrailer anytime. The price from etrailer was great and was the cheapest price I could find anywhere. If I could have, I would have given B & W and etrailer 10 stars for the review.

This was my first fifth wheel hitch that I have ever used or installed on my truck. It was recommended to me by other RV folks that have fifth wheels. The price for the hitch was very competitive. The customer service and support line was extremely helpful. The hitch is very easy to put in and take out of the truck. It is also very easy to hook up to my fifth wheel. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a hitch to purchase one like this because it’s easy to use and works great. They also followed up several weeks after I had it installed to make sure I had no issues and everything was working as it should. Great customer service.

Great! I have used this product all of last year and it worked very well. I do remove it when I am not using it to tow the fifth wheel trailer. I did add a small piece of silicone material between the truck bed rails and the hitch itself to prevent the paint from being chipped and scratched.The thin piece of silicone also prevents any rattling or rubbing of metal to metal components in that area.The hitch and rails still look like new. I would recommend this product to anyone.

This Trailer Hitch looks awesome. I really like the fact that if the jaws do not open when the handle is pulled back moving the vehicle slightly will open the jaws. My old CURT hitch (also a good hitch) jaws would not open if on uneven ground or with tension on the jaws. Also, the two part design HAS SAVE MY BACK! I do not like to readily admit this, but I'm getting old, and my old one piece 5th wheel hitch was back breaking lifting into a bed of my Chevy 3500HD long bed.

So far this has been a great hitch. Takes up a lot less space than the massive auto slider hitch that I had previously, and have had no problem with any sharp turns so far. It is also much easier to handle by myself taking it out of the truck. The only thing I’ve had some problems with is getting the handle lock pin out once I’m ready to disconnect. To solve, I’ve started wedging the flat part of my crowbar under the head of the pin and tapping it with a rubber mallet from underneath.

Still enjoying the hitch and using it 8-10 times a year. I’ve begun using a smaller diameter pin in the handle so I no longer have difficulty with getting the pin out.

We really enjoy the peace of mind this hitch provides. It is secure both in the truck and hitched to our 5th wheel. As it is heavy to install and remove so that we can use our truck when not towing, we installed a hydraulic lift in our garage to lift it out and onto a cart we push to the side for storage until next time. The lift puts it back up into the truck. It's so easy to have this sturdy hitch!

Has been a very good hitch..sturdy and well designed. I like the two piece idea (where you can take off the top section separate from the bottom frame) it's easy and it allows lifting less wt. in two parts. It has 4 adjustments for height but in my case I needed to go lower so I had to reset my 5th wheel bracket as to level out the vehicle to the fifth wheel.
add; 1999 Ford f-350 4x4 sits up high ...not like today's (almost a car) pickups that sit lower.

1 year update: I absolutely love this hitch. My setup has never been tighter and quieter. Pretty sad when I hear the rattle of my truck box lid over anything that comes from the hitch. Very easy lock in and release. Very easy removal of the hitch head and base. I dont see me replacing this hitch anytime soon, after 1 year still as quiet as day one. Thank you etrailer!

This is our third hitch and by far the best and easiest to use.
One flaw, although minor, was the attaching of the spring that returns and holds the plate level. It was very difficult to attach then after very few uses it broke off. It did not affect the usage of this hitch, bug should be redesigned or just left off. I have recommended this to others. etrailer is the best place to order one from.

I reached out to the manufacturer about the spring. They said the torsion spring is part of the head leveling kit and it keeps your coupler head from falling backwards. Ultimately, its purpose is to make hooking up your trailer easier. B&W does not want you using your hitch without this piece. I will email you more information.

This hitch is average at best. It has been garage kept and already sticking and not opening properly. I have owned a 5th wheel camper my entire life and the 2 prior hitches was never serviced and gave no issues. I would not recommend this hitch to no one....

Love my Patriot hitch! This this is built to last - even the packaging is top notch. (even UPS couldn't damage it) Pulls wonderfully - considerably less chucking and virtually no clunking or slop when stopping or starting like with my previously owned hitch (whose name we shall not speak). The last hitch you'll ever need.

Product is well built and painted, spent 10 months with it about a block from the gulf of Mexico in the bed of my truck 24/7 and the paint hasn't faded, no parts have rusted or anything. Very impressed with build and paint quality. It also pulls smoother, and dampens a lot more than my Reese 5er did on rough roads. The Reese also began rusting and paint flaking 3 months after purchase and spent it's time in Oklahoma where the weather wasn't too harsh in comparison to the ocean air the B&W experienced in Texas. 10/10 B&W.

The Patriot 5th hitch is great. It was very easy to assemble. And it's solid my 5th wheel is 40ft long and about 13,000 lbs and it feels good going down the road, it has no play or back lash. It's fun to pull. And after the 1st year of owning and using the Patriot the finish is still doing great. I would defiantly recommend the B&W.

- Can I Use A Curt A20 With A Reese Sidewinder On A Ram Truck With The RamboxHey Jay. It sounds like you are on the right track here because a sidewinder pin box will be your only option for pulling your 5th wheel since you have a short bed truck with the Rambox. That said, you are right that the Reese Sidewinder cannot be used with the Curt A20 5th wheel hitches. So, you would either need to use a different hitch like a B&W # BWRVK3255 or find a different compatible sidewinder. Using a B&W hitch is what I recommend since the Reese sidewinder is the only aftermarket...

If you bought a trailer secondhand and didn't have the wedge kit with it or switch hitches somewhat routinely then this would be the best option for you. If you plan on sticking with a B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 then the custom fit wedge # SWW-06 would be the better choice. The custom fit design will...

view full answer... - Can I Tow A Fifth Wheel With A 2020 Ram 2500 With Ram Boxes?Hello Rhys, I can definitely help with this. First, I will start by saying that trucks with the Rambox really are not ideal for towing a 5th wheel camper. It can be done, however I cannot recommend using the Turnoverball, offset ball and goosebox combination that you mentioned. The issue with Ram Box is that it limits the ability of the pin box to rotate in the truck bed. This will drastically decrease your turning clearance and the goosebox would not clear the Ram box on turns. The only...

If I could get a little more info from you on your setup I could give you a more specific answer. What truck do you have? How long is the bed? What trailer will you be towing?

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.

This 5th wheel hitch has been superb!! I deliver RV’s and relocate traveling nurses and doctors or people that want to relocate. I deliver across the country and I have been using this B&W for over 200k miles and it has worked flawlessly. I highly recommend it. It’s tried and true.
