B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs
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.
The hitch came in two boxes, in excellent condition. I have opened the boxes and all parts are there. I had hand surgery recently so it will be a few weeks before I can fully assemble my hitch. I'll update then.

B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs
Received my order in 2 days. Everything about this hitch (including the packaging) is highest quality. Even UPS couldn't damage this thing! Previous reviewers have said this hitch is built like a sherman tank - it absolutely is! Night and day difference between B&W and the Curt Q20 I have been using. Can't wait to pull with it. Together with the great service etrailer provides and you can't go wrong.
The hitch install went flawlessly and I can't wait to test it out. The product appears to be very well made. There was a delay in shipping do to it being back ordered from B&W but etrailer kept me up to date and it arrived as I expected.
What our customers are saying:
"I received this order yesterday. Thanks for the outstanding service. I appreciate it! Thanks, Alex"
