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.


Patriot Hitch Arm Positioning Diagram

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.

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.

2012 Ram 2500

Installation was cake for me because this truck had the brackets that bolted to the frame already from the previous owner. I still had to drill holes in the bed but everything went smoothly. Take note- use a punch before drilling the pilot hole. My bits were older and liked to walk so keeping the rails at 22” was a little difficult. The manual instructed I cut away sections of my bed mat for structural durability no biggie. Came packaged pretty well, some spare hardware and brackets in my specific installation. Delivered before estimated arrival along with some other bits from this company. Great job etrailer and b&w!



by: Terry05/02/2024

Great product and you have to appreciate made in America with American steel! It arrived in good shape in only three days. I ordered on Sunday and shipped the same night. etrailer is great company to do business with!



by: Sean C09/09/2017

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.



by: Adam West08/27/2022

etrailer came through as always. The real kit worked perfectly for my 1995 Ford F350 SRW 4x4 truck. Universal kit, so drilling required, but that's to be expected. Installed in about 3-4 hours in my driveway, and towed a 31' fifth wheel 400 miles 2 days later. Highly recommend both the product and etrailer!

Good instructions all hardware needed was supplied



by: Ron N08/24/2020

Hitch came quickly and installation was easy. Only hiccup was I have a curt rail adaptor for a turnover ball and one of the braces rubbed a support for the rail but was easily corrected. Hook up to and disconnects from my fifth wheel camper with ease. I have not towed with the hitch as of yet.



by: David Plagemann05/26/2018

Wow what a big difference my new 16k Patriot hitch has made. Easier to hook up and unhook my 5th wheel. Definitely makes a smoother ride, no up and down, up and down. My only regret is I should have bought it sooner. Thanks for a superior product!

All bolt holes lined up perfect.

by: Ian 09/21/2023

This hitch has been great and after a year of usage there have been no issues. It hooks up and realeases smoothly. While towing there is no noise transfered from the trailer due to the hitch being isolated by bushings. The top section is removable making it easier to install and uninstall.

2000 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Well for a private citizen I feel like I buy quite a bit from e-trailer. I have bought at least 6 large items between receiver hitches, ball mounts, rails, goose neck mounts, brake controllers and those type of things. When I am shopping I always read reviews so it is important. This is the one year review on the most recent 5th wheel rails I bought and installed on a 2000 f-350. Shipping was fast and efficient, installed with no issues, and working fine to pull a 40’ fifth wheel



by: Ian 09/21/2023

These rails work as expected, no thrills. Make sure to line them up properly with the hitch mount tabs or installing/removing the hitch will be tough.



by: John 11/16/2022

I purchased this hitch one year ago and it is very high quality. I tow a light 21 foot 5th wheel with my RAM 1500 Eco Diesel. I was able to adjust the hitch so that the trailer moved back several inches from the cab that provided better maneuverability compared to my other hitch. I was also able to adjust so that the trailer was perfectly level with the truck. The hitch provides a much tighter connection with the king pin which substantially reduces movement and noise. It was easy to assemble and etrailer did a great job with the entire purchase/shipping experience. Would highly recommend.



by: Michael03/18/2020

Product was easy to order and arrived in less then a week. Took a short time to assemble and install on my PullRite rails.



by: Patrick S09/19/2023

Disappointed. I requested specific brackets for my application, received a universal set, and could not keep my airbags if I wanted to install this kit.



by: Richard 05/11/2024

The box was tore up but, fortunately the parts were ok.



by: Jacob 12/18/2021

Installed myself on a 97 F-350 DRW. Having never done this before, I was a bit uncertain, but it was really quite simple. Honestly the hardest part was reaching all the bolts with my torque wrench (purchased some long extensions and a creeper). Don't forget the odd drill bit size if you are going to DIY.

Don't forget to order the "lube plate".

Maiden Voyage:
Towed 14k 5th wheel from CA to Arkansas and back. No issues with the hitch whatsoever.

Hooking up is pretty straight forward. It takes some practice to get the level of the kingpin on the trailer just right. Unhooking seems to require getting the height of the trailer just right, taking most of the weight off of the hitch.

I'm still a bit confused on the release lever. When unhooking, I remove pin and pull lever. It seems like it wants to snap back into closed position, but if the weight is off the hitch, when driving away it seems to just let go.

As a noob, I made one fatal mistake. I didn't put the tailgate up after my first post-install test. I only wanted to pull the trailer forward and back it up, turning the wheel slightly to move trailer over a couple feet. The tailgate made contact with the trailer and punched a hole in the underside. Paybattention to the tailgate!



by: Alex10/07/2022

It did not fit my truck like the website said it would and the kit was missing 4 crucial parts from the box when I received the package. They were the 4 L brackets that mount to the frame and hold the rail system.

by: Scott L07/10/2017

I bought the B&W 16K Patriot hitch knowing it was a bolt together hitch. Having said that the process was complicated by nut retainers supplied by B&W were not strong enough to do their designed job. I spoke with B&W about this and they offerd to replace them but the design was the same.
The hitch itself, once assembled, is fantastic. It is solid and quiet and the adjustability of the head position makes it very versatile as well.

I would recommend the B&W Patriot, but think it would be better if you can, to spend the other $200 and get the welded base 18K model.

  • Recommended USA Made 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 6.5' Bed
  • The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3200 for 16K or part # BWRVK3270 for 18K is the what I recommend for a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 6-1/2' Bed.

  • Recommendation for Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch and Rotating Pin Box on a 2016 Ram 3500 Short Bed
  • For your 2016 Ram 3500, you would need to use a fixed 5th wheel hitch with a rotating pin box. The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter will not work on short bed trucks due to not having clearance needed for turning. However, although you must use a fixed 5th wheel hitch with a rotating pin box this is actually one of the better options for you as the rotating pin box is going to give you the most turning clearance and it works automatically so you don't need

  • I have a solution to allow you to install the fixed B and W Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3200 in the bed of your 2020 Ram 1500 5.5 foot bed.

The Patriot uses the same high quality jaw system as the Companion hitches but instead fits standard rails and is also compatible with the Turning Point pin box in your trailer as well.

  • Recommendations For A Fifth Wheel Hitch For A 2020 Ford F-250 Long Bed
  • I can definitely help you with finding the perfect 5th wheel hitch for your 2020 Ford F-250 Long bed. I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch # BWRVK3200.

The pivoting helps your truck and whatever you are towing turn with ease.

  • Where To Install Rails In Truck Bed Of A 1996 Dodge Ram Short Bed
  • Hello Avis. When installing fifth wheel rails in the bed of a 1996 Ram short bed, the rails will be installed so that the fifth wheel hitch head is centered over the rear axle. It is recommended that the King pin be centered over the rear axle, or it can be up to 3" ahead towards the cab of the truck. I have included a screenshot from the instructions to illustrate this. I have also included links below with the instructions for the B&W Rail Kit # BWRVR3200 and the Demco Rail Kit # DM8552009-71

  • Can a 5th Wheel Hitch be Installed on a Flat Bed Truck
  • There are specific 5th wheel hitches for flat bed trucks and no installation kits because of how the hitches must install. As an example take a look at flat bed hitch # RP30054. To install the hitch a 1/2 inch thick steel plate has to be professionally welded to the truck frame below the flat bed. Then the hitch can be bolted to that plate. A hitch or rails cannot mount to just the bed because the bed is not strong enough in most cases for 5th wheel towing.
