Quiet, Secure Ride

The 3/4" thick jaw on the Patriot is precision machined to provide a tight, sturdy connection. And unlike slide-bar models, the rounded 2-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.


In addition to the sturdy jaw, the Patriot has durable polyurethane bushings built in to provide a smoother, more comfortable towing experience. These bushings sit on top of the pivot arms that support the fifth-wheel head. Because the head is resting on padded area, it is able to pivot without clanking. The ability of the head to pivot - both front to back and side to side - along with the trailer also helps to limit the chucking that may occur with a more static hitch.


Non-Binding Latch Handle

The dual jaw on the Patriot is operated by a simple-to-use cam-action handle. This handle allows you to quickly and easily release the jaws on the hitch, even if you are on uneven terrain. If any binding does occur between your truck and trailer, the jaws may remain closed after you move the handle to the open position. But because the handle is unlatched, there is nothing keeping the jaws closed except for the binding pressure. Therefore, simply driving your truck forward will be enough to force the jaws to open.


The cam-action handle is held in the closed position with the included pin and clip. For extra security, you can replace the pin with a sturdy padlock. The shackle on the lock you choose should have a diameter of 5/16", height of 3", and a width of 2-1/4".


Easily Adjustable Design

The B&W Patriot can be adjusted up and down for optimal positioning. As a result, this hitch can easily accommodate the height of your trailer.


Built-In Slider

Most often used on trucks with 6' beds, a slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.


The slider that is built into the base of the Patriot allows for 12" of fore and aft travel to give you the clearance you need.

Video Transcript for Checking Out the B and W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ford Super Duty

Today we're going to take a look at the replacement slider base for the BMW Patriot slider 5th wheel trailer hitch, and this has an 18,000 pound weight capacity. Now this replacement slider base will fit the BMW Patriot slider 5th wheel trailer hitch and allows you to attach your 5th wheel hitch to the rails in your truck bed. The adjustable pivot arms, which are these right here that I've attached to the base already, this will let you mount the hitch head to fit your application. It has the polyurethane bushings right up at the top here. The hitch head would drop right on top of that. Now these arms when you attach them to here, there's a range of holes on both sides, so you can move the arms front to back for improved cab clearance, and you can also put them up to down to raise or lower. It gives you about three different hitch height settings because you want your trailer that you're towing to be about as level as possible to the tow vehicle, so you can put this in three different hitch height settings, either 17 inch, 18 inch, or 19 inch, and the hitch height is always measured from the truck bed to the top of the hitch head when it's installed in here.

The hitch head that goes on here is a part number BWRVC3200. We do sell that separately on your website. That would fit right on top of here and you can also buy this base with the head already included, and that's part number BWRVK3270. Now this is a very quick and simple installation. It fits on the above bed base rails, so it is compatible with industry standard above bed base rails. The rails we do sell separately.

If you already have rails in your truck bed they should work in there with no problem. This does include the four hitch pins and clips that'll attach the hitch to the rails. This base is a steel construction. It has a nice grey power coat finish, which is corrosion resistant. This part is made in the USA. A few specs on this, the gross towing weight capacity is 18,000 pounds.

The hitch height I had mentioned once your head's on here measure from the truck bed to the top of the hitch head would be 17 inches to 19 inches, and the travel on this, I'm going to show you the travel is 12 inches front to back, so if this is the cab, that would be the tailgate so this is in the lock towing position. If you just raise that lever up you can see it'll go 12 inches, and once it hits the maneuvering position it would lock into place and then when you're done maneuvering and you want to go back to the towing position, again just lift that lever up to unlock it and it'll release and lock into the towing position just like that. One last measurement I want to give you is the foot print of this, the width and the depth of it to give you an idea of how much space this will take up in your truck bed. Width is going to be right at 32 inches and the depth from front to back is right at 29 and 1/2. That should do it for the review of the replacement slider base for the BMW Patriot slider 5th wheel trailer hitch with the 18,000 pound weight capacity.

The B&W 327018K 5th wheel hitch is an excellent product and a really good value. After my 22 year old Reese 14K hitch broke (compromised the locking jaws) I was unsure what my options were so I called E-trailer. Fortunately I got Alex on the phone. He was extremely helpful and insightful. He told me about the B&W products and that is how I ended up with the 3270. I was concerned about the weight. As a 68 year old retiree, I was able to lift the Reese in/out of my truck but afraid the B&W would be too heavy. Alex told me they offered a product that clamped into 5th wheel jaws of the B&W. If I had a pulley system, a lift, or a tractor it was a piece of cake. I have the latter two. After I received the new hitch I assembled and installed in a couple of minutes. Taking the hitch in/out is easy. Thank you Alex



by:

After purchasing this B&W 5th wheel kit I installed it myself. The kit came with great instructions and easy to understand. The kit has all the little tricks to assist with installation. I would buy and use this again if and when needed.



by:

There was a snafu on the delivery of this, like it ending up 1000 miles from my house on the first try, and then the delivery company getting mad at me for not having a forklift at my house. Since I just got this yesterday I can't say much ab out it yet, I am still trying to install it. I do suggest a hoist in your garage if you plan on removing this hitch at all, it is heavy. It looks to be in great condition though! I can't wait to get it attached so I can give it a test drive on a 2 hour trip. I can tell you that two RV retailers suggested this B&W hitches, so I have high hopes. With all the products on the market today, to get recommendations from two different companies that installs them, is impressive.



by:

installed this kit on a 25 Silverado 3500 Dulley, this is the second truck i have installed this kit on and it's a good quality kit. my only complaint is on the Chevrolets the lt front mount bolt is over the fuel tank making it next to impossible to get the washers and nuts on. as another reviewer stated I had to lower the fuel tank to get access . This got me thinking it would be much easier if B&W made this kit with captured nuts in the mounting plates and bolts would install from the top down. But I do like the kit and the gray color looks good on silver truck.



by:

This is a quality hitch. Very well constructed and I can't wait to try it out. If you need the bolt dow rails and kit give yourself plenty of time to install.

From the start,the folks at etrailer were very courteous and helpful. I called many times during the decision making process and everyone was always right there to help. When I finally decided to purchase the B&W 18K Patriot w/slider Bailey was there to help with the order. She explained the free freight shipping and it was a done deal. It arrived 1 day earlier than stated, as soon as I opened the cartons it was in fact the good ol' American made quality I was accustomed to growing up. I proceeded to install on the B&W rails I purchased and installed locally on my 2022 F250 Lariat/ Tremor.I had a small hick- up with the install and etrailer gave me B&W's # as they like to handle issues themselves. Stephanie at B&W was just as courteous. Overall a very pleasant experience. The Patriot was basically plug and play. I then connected my 2021 Grand Design 303RLS Reflection and rolled down yhe road. What a smooth and quiet ride, loved it! I would definitely recommend etrailer and their products. Thank you all that helped.



by:

Excellent gear from B&W. the original delivery was missing some components. etrailer was great working with me to expedite the parts to get them to me in time for my upcoming trip. Awesome support from the site here!



by:

E trailer in my opinion is the best place to buy hitches and accessories. The videos definitely helped during install. Overall this rail kit was perfect fit and install really wasn't too bad. Do yourself a favor and watch the install video and you won't really need the paper directions. Some of the bolts are very difficult to get to to tighten due to heat shield and fuel tank but that is no fault to the rail kit.



by:

This hitch is so much better than my previous PullRite hitch. Hitches every time. I spend 10 minutes less time making minor adjustments so that it isn't grabbed high. Very pleased.



by:

The best sliding 5th wheel hitch I have ever owned. Delivery and service from a dependable and friendly company. George was great.



by:

Wow! Very stout and built solid! A far cry from the Reese 16k slider fifth wheel hitch! The slider and fifth wheel pin lock are very smooth.



by:

Wasn’t a 4 hr job! Brackets.came from outside of the frame pointing towards the center .The one was behind the gas tank making it necessary to lower the tank.Directions were spot on other than ease of installation!



by:

Prices are great.. shipping is on time and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from here again..



by:

The ordering system was very simple to use, Alex the sales expert I had my conversation with was very knowledgeable and helpful. Payment questions were handled with ease and delivery was right on time. We have not gotten the items installed yet but so far, the process was nothing but A-1.



by:

Tech assistance with questions and ordering process was great. I will use etrailer again and will recommend them to others.

Unit is solid and well built, just as advertised. Assembly and installation was straightforward but prepare for lifting help as the base unit is quite heavy.

This is a replacement upgrade and I can't wait for weather to get better and go camping.



by:

Great product but I was missing one carriage bolt. One additional tool I would suggest to anyone installing would be a ratcheting box end 13 mm wrench to reboot the heat shield.



by:

Works great and installation was easy. Slide works flawlessly.



by:

This hitch is great! Works flawlessly and is easy to install. Directions for mounting hardware sucks . I I’m on of those who like to just hold it up and see how it works. I recommend reading the crappy instructions and then hold the brackets up. Front bar directions good rear bar is bad .



by:

So far so good. Hitch appears to be good quality. It was easy to install after installing the mounting kit. I haven't used it yet so I can't comment on how it handles when pulling a camper.



by:

Heavy duty and looks very well made. Everything I wanted and made in the USA!



by:

This is an excellent hitch, easy install on existing mounting rails! Etrailer had the best price by far and provided free shipping! I would highly recommend this company, the only issue I had was with UPS freight, who sat on my shipment for two full weeks before delivering it.



by:

The installation is simple but a little more time consuming than expected. I am a fairly good mechanic and with the assistance of a friend who is an excellent, 30-year that's his job, mechanic we feel the two of us could do the installation in an hour and a half next time. Took us 3 hours to do the installation. I do recommend two people and to not do as seen on one of the videos and cut the heat shield, just take your time and take the two heat shields down for the room. I've installed Universal fifth wheel rails in the past and they compare nothing to the quality and cheer girth and strength and fitment of the B&W custom fit rail system.



by:

This is my first time using a fifth wheel hitch so I don’t have anything to compare it to but other people recommend it to me I haven’t had any issues with this well built hitch and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.



by:

Put the 4 pins in before you torque the last rail.
Had to slide mine over an 1/8” for the pins to go in .
Would have saved some time.
Easy install on my 2019 F350



by:

So happy to have used this slider hitch for the past year easy to use and absolutely no chucking sound whatsoever,my wife loves that part Thanks for providing the best product possible

    Hi there Brad; good questions and let's start with the 5th wheel base rails, as you will need new ones to go with a custom, no-drill install kit for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500.

    You are right about the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed being slightly longer than the 2016 models; according to Chevy, the 2020 short bed is 82.25 inches while the 2016 short bed is 78.9 inches. That isn't enough of a difference to negate needing a sliding hitch. Even if your use of the slider is limited, it only takes one instance of taking a turn slightly too sharp for your trailer to crash into the cab of your Chevy, causing potentially significant damage to both the truck and trailer....

  • How To Mount a PullRite SuperGlide 16K On a 2020 Chevy Silevrado 2500 Without Pucks
    I do have an option for you if you have the PullRite SuperGlide #2700 which uses industry standard rails but if you have the PullRite SuperGlide #4100 you will need to get the rails from PullRite. For the PullRite SuperGlide #2700, you can use the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVK2505 which is a custom fit for the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 so you don't have to drill into the frame.

  • Comparing the Curt A20 and B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitches Jaw Systems
    Hey Heath, thanks for reaching out! The Curt A20 # C55DR and the B&W Companion # BWRVK3670 you're looking at are both excellent 5th wheel hitches, but I have to go with the Companion in this case simple because it is more robust and has a better build quality. It's true that the Companion uses dual jaws, but those guys are 1" thick jaws so they will still hold the king pin nice and securely. The Curt has the interlocking jaws (which I really like) but it just doesn't have the same quality. Please...

  • Can I Use A B&W Fifth Wheel Hitch With A 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
    Yes, you absolutely can use a B&W fifth wheel hitch in your short bed 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500. We do recommend using a slider hitch since you have the short bed. If your truck already has the OEM puck system in the bed, you can use the B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3775. This is their 20K rated slider hitch. It is important to note that you may need to tow with your tailgate down when using his slider hitch with certain campers. If you do not have the OEM puck system you will need to...

  • Does Truck with 6-1/2 Foot Bed Need a Slider Hitch
    Beds shorter than 8 foot do commonly need a slider hitch David, but a lot of modern fifth wheel trailers are now made with tapered noses to help and in a lot of cases a slider isn't required. So if the trailer you plan to tow has a tapered nose and an extended pin box that sticks out past the nose of it you'd be ok with a fixed hitch like the B and W Patriot part # BWRVK3200. Otherwise a slider hitch like the part # BWRVK3270 that you referenced would be needed.

  • Curt CrossWing or Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2021 Ram 2500
    If you are wanting something light weight then the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C86JR is the right hitch for you. The CrossWing weighs in at 87 lbs. The main concern with using the CrossWing on your 2021 Ram 2500 is that you have the shorter 6-1/2' bed. This hitch does have a 5" offset that pushes the connection point back towards your tailgate but depending on how large the nose is on your Keystone Montana you may have issues turning and backing.

  • Does the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter Work w/ a B&W Patriot Slider?
    I really wish it did because we get these questions all the time. The B&W Patriot Slider item # BWRVK3270 won't work with the picture frame style adapters. It has to do with the spacing and also the height of the slider. The item # RP30156, and all of the similar designs from other competitors, won't let the hitch slide. We had one returned with a giant gouge in the steel. Another drawback to these type of adapters is they raise your hitch height almost 3" which pushes the nose of your...

  • Determining Fifth Wheel Turning Clearance
    I can certainly help shed some light on the situation. I also am not aware of any app that calculates turning clearance. If only it were so easy right? If you have the option to purchase a long bed truck, that would be preferred. That way you will never have to worry about clearance. Also, GMC offers an OEM 5th wheel prep package, which would make your life a lot easier. Otherwise you will need to install a rail kit like the # BWRVK2505. The official answer is- "it depends".

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails and Hitch for a 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab Short Bed
    To get the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 to work with your 2006 Dodge Ram you're going to need a set of 5th wheel rails # DM8552016-71. These rails are custom fit to your vehicle so they'll just bolt right up to the frame. It is worth mentioning that since you have a short bed, I'd actually recommend going with a sliding hitch # BWRVK3270. The reason being is, when short bed trucks use fixed hitches to make tight turns, there's going to be significantly less room for the trailer and truck cab,...

    According to the owners manual for your 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 extended cab with the automatic transmission it carries either a maximum trailer weight of 7,800lbs or 8,800lbs depending on the axle gear ratio.

  • 5TH Wheel Rail Kit For a 2000 Ford F-250 Short Bed To Accept a B&W Patriot 5TH Wheel Hitch
    I recommend installing the Curt 5TH Wheel Rails # C16443-204 on your 2000 Ford F-250. Currently B&W only goes back to 2005 for their custom under bed brackets. For your 2000 F-250 you would have to use the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # BWRVR3200 to stay with B&W rails and under bed brackets. These underbed brackets are universal so you will have to drill the frame to use this kit. The Curt # C16443-204 rails are custom fit so you will not have to drill your frame. They...

  • Solution For Old Reese Elite 5th Wheel Hitch That Chucks And It Difficult To Release
    Hello Bill. 5th wheel hitch technology has come a long way in the last several years. If you are using an old hitch, it is definitely not uncommon to have issues like this. Most older hitches, and even some new lower-end hitches will chuck quite a bit. Not necessarily a bad design, but the design is dated/obsolete. Like you said, replacement parts for this Reese Elite hitch are unavailable. It sounds like your hitch is not safe to use, so I cannot in good conscience recommend that you continue...
