B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs
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.
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

B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K
I would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the following. 1. The weight of this hitch makes it extremely hard to remove or reinstall if you ever need to use the truck bed. (But the weight does make it a solid piece of equipment) 2. While installing I followed all the instructions precisely, especially when locking in the puck latches. I made sure the slide moved freely forward and back, but when I put the weight of my camper on it the slide (I made sure I was on level ground) would bind up to a point it really didn’t want to move. I had to loosen two of the puck latches opposite of each other in order to get it to work properly. They are definitely looser than described in the book but not to a point where I feel it to be unsafe. I do like the way this hitch works and I make sure all moving parts and connections are secured properly prior to use. All in all, I definitely recommend this hitch.
i have had the hitch for about one year and have not once regretted purchasing it. It is extremely well made and more than i need to pull my 10,000 lb fifth wheel, but that gives me great confidence that it is adequate to the task. The only potential negative is that the hitch is heavy, making it difficult to remove from the bed when necessary, It breaks down into 2 parts, the head (not too heavy for one person to remove from the bed), and the base. I intend to get a small derrick crane that attaches to my hitch receiver to lift the base out and drop it on a small 4 wheel dolly so I can roll it into the garage. All in all, I am happy with my purchase.

B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs
Product is very well made. Glad I went with B and W Patriot Hitch. Once the bed rails were installed the rest was a breeze. Now it's time to get a 5th wheel and hit the open road. etrailer, my go-to website.
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.
