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 front to back as well as up and down for optimal positioning. As a result, this hitch can accommodate the height of your trailer and also help to give you the cab clearance needed to execute turns while towing.
To adjust either the height of the Patriot or the fore/aft positioning, just attach the hitch's pivot arms in the desired location on the base. The above diagram gives an indication of where to mount the arms so that you get the height and the cab clearance that you need.

This 5th wheel has exceeded all my expectations. It’s worked flawlessly for thousands of miles and many different type of 5th wheels trailers. Not a peep, B&W FTW!!
by: Neil Lumby03/07/2024
I bought this kit because it looked like the strongest and best engineered and most effective ...this has proved true. I have no experience and I put this on our truck on the ground and without taking the wheels off. There were holes in the bed already but this was a mixed blessing. I can't say it wasn't fiddly, it was especially at the front end of the bracket trying to fit and tighten bolts blind above the fuel tank (I didn't have to remove it). I tightened down and loosened the whole set up a couple of times (more a truck problem really) but eventually it all felt snug to the chassis and secure (most importantly). There was only one place I intervened with a correct thickness block of hardwood (see pic which goes all the way up under the bracket against the chassis, a shim if you will, (I'd have preferred a steel or maybe resin block but didn't have any – I think the manufacturer should consider this?) – at least the wood would compress a bit when tightening. I had to use the secondary hole on the bracket on the driver side (see pic) because of the fuel tank. When I tightened up the driver side bracket (and no matter how I did it) it lifted the bracket off the chassis at the front which didn't look or feel as good as the other side (which was much easier to attach using the preferred hole). The shim seemed to help equalise the pressure along the whole of the bracket and has stayed firm since. Anyway, I took my time and the unit has done everything I'd hoped for – you've reminded me that I need to check all the bolts again! Anyway, thanks :)

So far this has been a great hitch. Takes up a lot less space than the massive auto slider hitch that I had previously, and have had no problem with any sharp turns so far. It is also much easier to handle by myself taking it out of the truck. The only thing I’ve had some problems with is getting the handle lock pin out once I’m ready to disconnect. To solve, I’ve started wedging the flat part of my crowbar under the head of the pin and tapping it with a rubber mallet from underneath.
by: Mike11/18/2022
Love this hitch, very solid! Pretty light weight, easy to get in and out when I need to use the full truck bed. Easy height adjustment to get my 5th wheel riding level when towing.
by: Dave 04/25/2023
Looks to be well built. Just finished putting it together. Good instructions and all the parts were there. Can't wait to try it.
by: Matthew09/24/2022
This hitch is amazing. I replaced an older Reese hitch. With my old hitch there was constant shucking and could feel the trailer pushing the truck while stopping. There is no more shucking and you can “barely tell” there’s a trailer behind me anymore. The coupling and uncoupling with the cam action lever is extremely simple!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HITCH
by: Ron A10/10/2022
I just got it installed looking forward to connecting the trailer. But, the trailer is in the shop! I spent a lot time evaluating hitches and decided on the B&W Patriot 18K. I would like to better packing for shipping, the finish on the hitch got damaged.
by: William 04/25/2024
Haven't had a chance to tow with it yet, but everything bolted right up and it was pretty easy to install. Looks like a really nice hitch and love the fact that it's American made.
by: Cindy & Bill03/07/2019
I did my research on this hitch and was convinced it was the one I wanted yet I still felt the need to get some input from the pros, 2 phone calls (one to E-trailer and one to B&W) and I came away with peace of mind that the B&W was the right one for me. Best of all they did not try to up sell me to the 22k hitch two rv dealers tried to tell me I would need to safely pull the 16,500 gvwr 5th wheel I was in the process of buying. The hitch was reasonably priced, arrived in a timely manner in good condition and installation was straight forward. Bottom line I couldn’t be happier with my B&W hitch but most of all my decision to buy it from etrailer

Fit great! Bolted right onto our truck frame and matched up perfect with our hitch.
by: Ron & Joyce08/27/2018
We received the hitch and brackets packaged very well. The installation went well and pretty straight forward.
We did not have our 5th wheel to set the height but took a lucky guess at 18". We picked the RV up and couldn't be happier with this hitch. Absolutely no chucking, very smooth ride. We have an uneven slope to back down to get to our RV pad and were concerned about that. With the swivel on this hitch, backed with no problem. We wouldn't settle for any other hitch if we have to ever buy another one.
The RV sales and service people were very impressed with this hitch and the way it is set up with the frame brackets.
Very happy customers!
by: Michael 11/10/2023
I have always had bumper pull RVs. This is my first 5th wheel and 5th wheel hitch. It took approx 5-1/2 hrs to install the rails, hitch, and 7-way extension on a '17 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel with Ramboxs. I love the construction and the "feel" of the hitch. Directions were easy to follow. I get the trailer in a couple days, so no comment on towing, but I am not anticipating any complications. Looking forward to using this hitch for years to come.
by: Michael 02/22/2024
Love this. So much easier to hook up than with the Reese I used to have. It's also much easier to take in and out of the truck bed.
by: Susan 12/07/2021
We really enjoy the peace of mind this hitch provides. It is secure both in the truck and hitched to our 5th wheel. As it is heavy to install and remove so that we can use our truck when not towing, we installed a hydraulic lift in our garage to lift it out and onto a cart we push to the side for storage until next time. The lift puts it back up into the truck. It's so easy to have this sturdy hitch!
by: Mike10/30/2017
Great product. However, frame brackets started to rust right away. I don’t live in a state that uses salt on the roads, and I wash my truck often. It’s the one thing that keeps me from rating it a 5.
by: Jack01/12/2018
Product is well built and painted, spent 10 months with it about a block from the gulf of Mexico in the bed of my truck 24/7 and the paint hasn't faded, no parts have rusted or anything. Very impressed with build and paint quality. It also pulls smoother, and dampens a lot more than my Reese 5er did on rough roads. The Reese also began rusting and paint flaking 3 months after purchase and spent it's time in Oklahoma where the weather wasn't too harsh in comparison to the ocean air the B&W experienced in Texas. 10/10 B&W.

Very pleased with my purchase of the Patriot 18k fifth wheel. It arrived on the day promised. Assembly and installation was simple. Product looks great.
by: Ricke A05/17/2024
Have to tighten bolts is some very tough areas to get to. Give yourself plenty of time if doing youself or frustration awaits you. Other than drilling through sheet metal in you truck bed no other holes required.

B&W quality is hard to beat. AN excellent constructed and crafted hitch.
by: Marc 10/08/2023
Love this new hitch! Very high quality and easy to operate. This was mounted in our Ford Ford F-350 6.7L Powerstroke. The hitch accommodates our current fifth wheel, and will allow for upgrades in the future. Very satisfied.
by: David10/12/2023
The installation kit was missing 5 washers, I had to find replacements because I need to get the kit installed to pick up our 5th wheel. So I couldn’t wait for you to send 5 washers. Other than that, it was easy to install and had good directions. It is well made and should work well.
by: Gregory 10/29/2023
B&W Hitch is very well built and easy to latch and unlatch compared to other hitchs.
by: Alex10/23/2019
Hitch arrived on time and good packaging. It took maybe 45 minutes to assemble, very easy. It would have taken less time but the bolt holes are so precise that the paint made the bolts so tight that you had to run them through with a socket but rather that than to big.

- The first thing I suggest is that you ensure there is a Weight Distribution System being used with the trailer set-up. There may still be need/benefit of suspension enhancement to the truck even after a WDS is installed, but this should be first priority in arranging a safe towing situation for something with that much weight. Please note the link to help articles below on this subject, hopefully you will find these to be of value and assist in making an informed decision. Please checkout

- The Patriot B and W hitches do work with the Sidewinders like the part # BWRVK3255 that you referenced.
If the B and W Companion hitch is one like the # BWRVK3600 that attaches using the 4 pucks it will work with a Sidewinder. If the Companion hitch is like the # BWRVK3500 which only attaches with the center post for the gooseneck hitch it can't be used with a Sidewinder due to the torque the Sidewinder would put on the attachment point.

- If you have the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 (8-foot bed without OEM prep) or the # BWRVK3270 (6-3/4 foot bed without OEM prep), you will first need to purchase the Universal Base Rails # BWRVR3200 (for an 8-foot bed) or # BWRVK2505 (for the 6-3/4 foot bed).
For installing the base rails, you will need to remove any heat shield or under-bed spare tire (if you have one). Also, if you have any bed liner or mat, it will have to be removed or cut in order to allow the mounting rails to connect

- The B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch you'd looked at, part # BWRVK3255 isn't compatible with any of the puck adapters that would be needed to make the hitch work with the pucks in a 2022 Chevy Silverado.
Both Demco and Curt offer adapters, but Demco has stated that their # DM6333 adapter won't work with the Patriot. Curt offers the # C88KR adapter, but since the hitch and adapter haven't been tested together, neither B&W nor Curt will confirm their compatibility.

- For your 17,000 lb GVWR on your 5th wheel, you will be fine using an 18,000 lb hitch like the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255. The hitch will be just as safe for your trailer as a hitch rated for 20,000 lbs because you will still be well under the capacity of the hitch even when your trailer is loaded to capacity.
For your rails on your 2015 Silverado 3500, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2506. This kit

If you're needing a 5th wheel hitch for your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD short bed, I recommend the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270. This hitch has a maximum capacity of 18,000 lbs, and is a perfect fit for the base rail kit # BWRVK2500 mentioned above.

- For the most part you can't have both a gooseneck hitch and 5th wheel hitch installed at the same time. But if your gooseneck happens to be a B&W Turnover Ball then you could use the Companion hitch # BWRVK3500 for a long bed or # BWRVK3400 for the short bed. These hitches mount in the gooseneck ball hole of the B&W hitches and allow you to tow a 5th wheel trailer with the gooseneck hitch.

- The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2500 can be split up between the brackets and the rails.
