2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty

The frame rail pieces were drilled wrong, had to correct them to complete the installation. Didn't enjoy that part. Other than that, normal B&W quality.



by:

The installation went very well. Very simple and easy to follow instructions on all three products I purchased from etrailer (hitch, rails and wiring harness.) I would highly recommend all three products.



by:
2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Ordered this kit at 10:30 on a Tuesday night and had it delivered to my door by noon on Friday! That’s pretty fast shipping for free. Great product, fit perfect and good instructions, I have bought from Etrailer for years and will continue to be a satisfied customer.



by:

I really love that the rails are custom fit to my truck so I don’t have to drill any holes at all! The order process was very easy and shipping was fast. I found that the installation time was also shorter than the listed time. I would 100% use etrailer again in the future!

Best 5th wheel hitch I’ve used or seen, would buy again in a heartbeat



by:

Watch the installation video. Read and understand all directions. Doing that install is very straight forward. Some tips in the installation video help. I installed without a lift, having access to a lift would make installation easier. All in all a good solid product. The custom install kit uses existing holes in the frame rails so no drilling on your frame rails. That is in my opinion the best thing about the custom kit. Installed on a 2014 F-250.

I needed a custom 5th wheel hitch rail installation kit quickly. When I first called for some information I was disconnected, however, I believe it was from my end that it happened. A short while later I received a call from Katerina who appologised for the disconnection and asked if there was anything that she could do to help me. I explained that I thought it was my fault and that I wanted information on a 5th wneel rail installation kit. As a result I ordered the item and she was kind enough to a) ensure that the item was shipped when expected, and b) to follow up with the shipping and delivery status, without me having to check with the shipping company. I received the item a day earlier than expected and everything was perfect. I have since installed the kit and am now able to pick up my new 5th wheel trailer on schedule. Thank you very much Katrina and eTrailerk for your excellent service.

Jeep Patriot

The B&W Patriot has worked out great for me so far. I kind of wish I would have paid the extra money to get an auto slider, but this one suffices just fine.



by:

Ordering was effortless, salesman was knowledgeable, although I had done my due diligence prior to ordering! Anyways got the proper hitch and rail kit, installed the today and ready to tow! I bought the B & W 18K sliding hitch. Heavy duty and slides great!



by:
2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Exact fit for our 2015 F250. We installed the brackets ourselves and installation was not to difficult with the instuctions provided. etrailer was excellent to work with and met my needs when I made a last minute decision to pick up in person instead of having the items shipped



by:
Chevrolet SS

Everything installed as designed. Not the easiest project but doable with the proper tools and careful measuring. Sturdy unit. I did replace the washers for the frame rail bolts with some custom made SS square plate as the supplied washers were too thin and deformed when the bolts were fully torqued to specifications.



by:
2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty

My order shipped extremely fast and customer service was awesome. The rail system is high quality, was easily installed and works as it should.



by:

It's been one year since the self install of this product. I must say it is holding up no rust and no issues whatsoever. The install took a bit especially while doing it outside in the sun but very happy with product and instructions.



by:
1995 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

As Advertised. Very pleased. Arrived complete with nothing missing. Instructions all were very clear. Very good price compared to buying at RV dealership.

Will be purchasing more items for my Toy Hauler, in the very near future.

Thank You

  • Pin and Clip Needed to Install B&W Patriot in 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    If you are installing the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 in your 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty using industry-standard rails such as # BWRVK2401 then you would only need standard, 3-1/4" long, 1/2" diameter pins such as # 6014.

  • Does B and W Patriot Hitch Require a Capture Plate
    The B and W Patriot Hitch part # BWRVK3270 does not require a capture or locking plate to connect to fifth wheel trailer. The only hitches that do that are the ones that are auto-sliders where the head of the hitch locks to the pin box and turns with the trailer. The Patriot is a standard style hitch that pivots between the pin box and the hitch head. No capture plate needed. And also there is not angle of approach requirement that the auto-sliders have. We still recommend trying to back...

  • Replacement Reese Sidewinder for MORryde SPB72-1621LD Pin Box
    There is only one option to replace your MORryde SPB72-1621LD that I know will ensure your trailer won't hit your 2016 Ford F-250's bed rails, which is with a rotating pin box that moves the pivot point back 22 inches to the turret as opposed to the hitch. And to replace your MORryde SPB72-1621LD pin box you will need the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin # RP34FR. There is a catch though, in that the B&W Companion, when attached to the gooseneck, is not compatible with a rotating pin...

  • Can PullRite SuperGlide Mount to B&W 5th Wheel Base Rails
    Hi H.L. There isn't actually a specific weight capacity for any 5th wheel base rail kit, including the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2401 that fits your 2016 Ford F-250. Base rails are designed to meet the tow capacity of the vehicle and hitch, so those are always the limiting factor. As for the hitch, so long as your PullRite SuperGlide 2300 is an ISR series - which stands for "Industry Standard Rails", it will work with the # BWRVK2401.

    The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider, # BWRVK3270 is a great hitch option for your 2011 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty. It uses the industry-standard above-bed rails (ISR). Please note the attached image showing full measurements of ISR above bed rails. If your current Pullrite Super Glide also uses ISR, then you can confirm there is no issue. If you discover that your current rails are not ISR, then I suggest you replace them with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base...

  • B and W Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2015 Ford F-350 for Patriot Hitch
    B and W does not offer just the bracket kits of their fifth wheel rail kits so you'd need to go with the B and W Custom Rail Kit part # BWRVK2401 for your 2015 Ford F-350 short bed. Since you have a short bed truck hopefully you have the slider Patriot part # BWRVK3270 so that you have enough clearance to make tight turns.

    For trailers that have a boxed front a sliding 5th wheel hitch would be required for any truck bed that is between 6' - 8' long. Since your 2018 Chaparral 298RLS MID has the Turn-Tec tapered front end you very well could use a stationary 5th wheel hitch and still have enough clearance for a 90 degree turn.
