Video Transcript for All You Need to Know About the B and W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram

Hello, neighbors. Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at the B & W Custom Mounting Brackets for your Patriot Fifth Wheel above-bed base rails. Now, folks, this is a custom kit, so make sure you're checking our fit guide here at etrailer.com. Top center of the homepage, enter your vehicle information where it asks you for your year, make and model, bed length, cab size, those kind of things, to make sure you're getting the right parts for your specific need and your specific fit. Also, keep in mind that the video could be outdated if it's a newer year than what you see.

Again, check the fit guide to make sure you're getting the right parts. Now, folks, this is gonna give you the whole custom installation kit as far as the brackets, all the hardware you see here to mount to the frame underneath the pickup truck bed, and then provide an attachment point for your fifth wheel rails. Now those rails are sold separately. I'll throw an image up of what the whole sit, kit, rather, looks like with those rails, keep in mind there'll be all the hardware that you don't see there, as well. Now, again, this today is just strictly the brackets and the hardware.

We do sell those base rails separately. Those would sit in the bed of your truck, and that's a part number BWRVR3210, sold separately. Now I zoomed in here, I just wanna show you the finish. Everything's a hard, heavy duty. It's been powder coated steel with a very nice finish.

It's gonna resist corrosion, that kind of stuff. Here's one example of one of the brackets. You can see that nice, shiny reflective finish on there. Very impressed with everything B & W does. They are made here in America.

Everything has a nice, amazing lifetime warranty on everything and the no-drill kit here is a very, very nice option when you're installing. It's gonna drastically reduce the installation time and avoid the obstacles that are on your truck frame. So, again, all the hardware here, you probably can't see all of it in the shop, but I want to zoom in to kind of show you the different size, give you a reference point, maybe, of some of these different block spacers, all those kind of things, the big U bolts. So, again, very nice custom kit. Again, folks, this is for your B & W mounting brackets for the Patriot Fifth Wheel above-bed base rails. I'm Steve, thanks so much for your time. Thanks for watching and have a safe day out there.

Just needed a bracket kit for my new 2022 RAM, so I could reuse my B & W rails for my Patriot 5th wheel. etrailer had just what I needed and was helpful with my order. Good people to order from!

This thing is a beast!! Solid all around. Installed it myself (I’m 66!) in about 6 hours. Had to call a friend to help get it into my Ram 2500, couldn’t quite get it up and over the tailgate. I was missing one of the bolts that connects the brackets to the frame and they are a not as common size so it took me 3 stores to find what I needed. Picking up my new camper tomorrow to test how I did! Wish me luck!

Great customer service from Amyl. I changed out a pull rite to a patriot 5th wheel hitch. Using my pull rite bed rails. Amy knew they would swap straight over. No problem easy easy. Cheers

Still using it. I feel B and W is the best in the industry. I just recommended a friend to purchase a B and w turn over ball for her horse trailer.

I originally ordered the rail system with the p.N.W patriot from camping world.But it came with a universal kit.So your bracket kit made it possible to install it correctly.And everything went as planned

Glad we could help, Larry! What are you going to be towing with your new set up?

by:

Really glad to hear it’s towing smoothly for you. The Patriot is one of those hitches people tend to love once they get some miles on it because the dual jaw design does a great job reducing chucking and giving that solid connection feeling instead of all the banging and slop some hitches have. That is a really nice fifth wheel! Hope you get a lot of smooth miles out of it. How do you like the Cougar?

by:
So far its the Best I've used or seen. Built Heavy Duty ! Easy Install. Fit and Function is Perfect !

The hitch looks great in your truck, Mark. Have you taken it out for a trip yet?

by:
Can't wait to use, lot heavier than the one I had. Only problem I had was figuring out how to get it into the bed of my truck due to the weight. Ready for camping.

Looks fantastic! What did you end up doing to get it up in the truck? You got the wood loaded and everything - when is the trip?

Hitch works great, its much better than the previous one I had. I would definitely recommend this hitch. Only issue I have had is the slider sticking which I fixed with silicone spray.

by:
I have a 12K# fifth wheel, and had some concerns about pulling the weight, as well as cab clearance when backing up. This hitch solved both! Super heavy duty hitch, slides easily and provides plenty of extra space for tighter radius turning in the rear position.
I installed this hitch, a rail kit, as well as a set of firestone airbags. etrailer quickly responded to my questions about compatibility between all three products. The rail kit and air bag were vehicle specific. etrailer reviewed and confirmed all were correct for my application, and would not interfere with each other. True, you may be able to find a slightly cheaper price elsewhere, but you will not find this level of customer support. Which hands down makes it the best value.
by:
Customer service was very helpful and pleasant. Hitch arrived as advertised. Instructions were excellent and my son in law were able to install in 3 hours. I have used multiple times in the past year with no issues. Definitely a quality product and I would recommend.
by:
I Reached Out to Zane H, I needed his feedback on a new fifth wheel hitch for my Ram 2500. I had a long bed Silverado 2500 & was using the Anderson hitch. He Suggested the B&W slider so I felt that it checked all the boxes for my needs. Thank you Zane for your assistance/expertise until next time adios.!!
by:
I just finished installing Item #BW25QR along with the rail system. Overall, it was fairly easy to install as long as you take your time, double check your measurements and have a helper to hold a couple of the bolts when installing. Once I had the rails in place I did have a problem with not being able to insert one of the hitch pins. After removing the bolts on the rail closest to the cab and adjusting the rail about 1/16" to the left all the pins went in great! At that point I was able to torque all the nuts to the specified amount and here we are! A great looking hitch that should give years of service. I haven't towed anything yet, but I think it will serve us well! If I can do it with a little help I think almost anyone can do the same. I'm 75 years old so, no excuses for not getting it done, plus it was made in the USA! 2026 F250XLT 7.3L pulling a 34' Keystone Sprinter with a 10' enclosed cargo trailer.
by:
It’s great. My old 5th wheel hitch was 20 years old and worn out. I traded for a newer truck and wanted a newer hitch. So this one should work out fine.
by:
Excellent instructions! Just like the video on the etrailer page says. "Its not easy but its not hard either". If you have moderate mechanical skills and tools on hand you can save a ton of money ordering this product from etrailer and installing yourself. About the actual product....Holy heavy steel. This thing is WELL BUILT and its got a good old fashion ???? on it??. Do yourself a favor if your installing on a Ram go to to Harbor Freight and get a 12 dollar set of transfer punches to drill down through the cross members

Love that quote, “it’s not easy but it’s not hard either” pretty much sums it up perfectly. Huge props for tackling that install yourself too. That’s no small job, but sounds like you had the right tools and mindset going in. And yeah… “holy heavy steel” is exactly the reaction most people have when they pick up a B&W for the first time. You can tell right away it’s built to last. We actually carry a tool for when you want to lift it would of the bed when you need to, with part B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches Part # BWRVXA3130. What are you planning to hook up to it on your Ram?

by:
Easy install although instructions could have been better. Had to rely on photos ( that weren’t that large) to Figure out some of the install. The service from E trailer was exceptional good.
by:
The shipping was very fast, I received it within the same week that I ordered it and the build quality is great. Definitely glad I bought it and would order from etrailer again.
by:
Huge thanks to Naomi, Hannah, and Virginia for helping me piece together the hitch, sidewinder, lube plate, etc. I needed to make it possible to tow my “new” fifth wheel behind my 2024 GMC shortbed. These 3 women are incredibly knowledgeable and so pleasant and helpful to work with. Other retailers should take notes from these 3 and Etrailers on how to deliver exceptional customer service!! Thanks ladies!!!

Wow Mark, we really appreciate your feedback and you taking the time give each one of them a shout out! I'll make sure to give a big thanks to these ladies on your behalf! Sounds like they really helped get you set up for your next adventure. Do you have any trips planned for this spring?

by:
The hitch works really well but the rubber handle in the latch blew off while traveling. We like it but wished we had with the goose neck ball that allows you to remove the ball and haul materuals.
by:
I’ve purchased many different types of hitches and accessories from etrailer. They have always been easy to deal with and very helpful. This latest purchase was damaged by the shipping company and parts were missing. I called customer support and they worked to make things right.

After using this hitch for a year I can tell you that it is a great hitch. It is very well made. Easy to operate. Towing my 36 foot fifth wheel camper is a breeze with this hitch.

by:
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.
by:
The B&W hitch is extremely high quality
The fit and finish and how easy it works Is well worth the few extra bucks.
And it made in America. Go B&W
etrailer made it so easy thank you etrailer

  • Replacing Under the Bed Mounting Brackets in 2019 Ram 3500
    When replacing the under the bed mounting brackets in your 2019 Ram 3500, we always recommend using the same brand as the base rails that you have. If you have B&W base rails already, the B&W Custom Mounting Brackets for Patriot 5th Wheel Above Bed Base Rails # BWRVR2605 could possibly fit. My recommendation would be to replace the base rails as well, that way you will ensure you have the correct mounting brackets for your bed rails.
