Specs:

  • Gross towing weight: 18,000 lbs

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.

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: Clint 12/15/2022

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



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 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: 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: 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: 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.



by: Patrick05/05/2018

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: Rich 08/10/2022

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: 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.



by: Joseph 10/03/2023

This is my second b@w it's the only hitch that I will tow with I had over 65000 miles of towing with the first one without a problem



by: Keith07/15/2023

Arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Installed with little effort. Very pleased.



by: Mitchell 10/25/2023

Hitch has been great. Easy to hitch and un hitch.
Well made



by: Paul09/12/2023

The platform on this hitch is well built and wider than my previoushitch. I have been using a different brand for years, this Patriot hitch is far superior to anything I looked at.



by: David 08/14/2023
2014 ChevroletSilverado

Was a perfect fit. The u-bolt on the driver's side is pretty tight to the gas tank on my 2014 Silverado and it was almost impossible to put in the last bolt to the rails in the bed without dropping the tank. That never showed up in the instructions but everything else was spot on.



by: Brian 07/30/2023

Excellent product. Best fifth wheel hitch I have owned yon 22 years of towing! Highly recommended!

It was delivered on time.

Do you have a question about this Fifth Wheel Hitch?


  • Fitment and Compatibility of B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch on a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed
  • If you have the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 in the furthest position from the cab, the 4 inch distance, it will not change the amount of weight that is put on the pin. In fact you would be directly over the rear axle of your vehicle with the arms 4 inch rearward of the cab. If this provides you with the clearance you need for your trailer then this could work for you. Typically, we recommend sliding hitches like the B&W # BWRVK3270 or the Demco # DM8550034 for customers with short beds.

  • What Is the Towing Capacity of a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Hemi
  • I did not see what chassis you have but it seems like you may have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 and if that is the case then the most well equipped version of this vehicle can tow up to 4,950 lbs. However, I recommend you contact your dealer to determine your exact towing capacity or you can take the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) and subtract from this the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) to give you a general idea. I also did not see what flooplan you have but it sounds like it might

  • Will the B&W Patriot Fit on Curt Base Rails on a 2016 Ford F-150 Short Bed
  • Yes. The B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 is designed to fit on industry standard base rail kits like the ones created by your Curt # C16442-204 installation kit on your 2016 Ford F-150. If you don't have a rotating turret on your 5th wheel king pin you may need a sliding hitch like the B&W Patriot Slider # BWRVK3270, which is the same as the # BWRVK3255 only with a slider base instead of a fixed base. I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out, but either of these combos

  • Reese Sidewinder And Wedge Kit For A 2014 Ram With RamBoxes
  • The Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR will work just fine with your B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255, and your 1621 pin box. The correct wedge kit you'd need, is the Sidewinder Wedge Kit for Pro Series 15K, 16K & 20K # 30850. The Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR itself isn't going to improve ride quality, that's something you'll want to look toward the hitch head to assist with. A solution to provide better ride quality and increase turning clearance, is with the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating

  • Will The B&W Patriot 5TH Wheel Fit On Demco Adapter Rail For a 2024 Ram 2500?
  • Yes, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 will attach directly to the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099. Do understand the rail adapter will add 1-3/8" of height to the hitch giving you a height range of 17-3/8" to 20-3/8" from your truck bed mounting points on your 2024 Ram 2500. Do remember to use a Lube Plate # RP83002 on your 5th wheel king pin to help reduce noise and increase the life of your hitch head. The Rail Sound Dampeners # 16900 can also be used to reduce

  • Identifying Industry Standard Above-Bed Rails (ISR) on 2011 Chevrolet Silverado

While there are exceptions, most all base rails manufactured in recent years are made to what is now referred to as Industry Standard Rail (ISR) pattern. These are mounted to the tow vehicle with a 22" on-center spread between the two mounted rails and each has a specific pattern for the mounting slots at about 5", 10-3/8" and 14-1/2" on either side of the rail center line.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2016 Keystone Montana 3721 5th Wheel Trailer
  • It looks like your 2016 Keystone Montana 3721 5th wheel trailer weighs just under 17,000 lbs. So you are definitely going to want a hitch with at least a 18,000 lbs capacity. I am a big fan of B&W's hitches. They are made in the USA and are some of the most reliable hitches on the market.

  • B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit For a 2001 Ford F-350 Long Bed
  • Yes, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 will fit with the Rail Kit # BWRVR3200 on your 2001 Ford F-350 having an 8' bed. I recommend also installing the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 41157 when you install the hitch. This will allow you to connect the wiring inside you bed rather than stretching it over the tailgate and down to the bumper connection which can risk damaging your wiring connection.

  • Troubleshooting Height Issue with 5th Wheel Hitch and 5th Wheel Trailer
  • B&W Companion hitches adjust from 16-1/4 to 18-1/4 inches, so it sounds like your hitch is on the lowest setting and can be adjusted for 2 more inches of clearance. B&W unfortunately does not make longer pivot arms. You may be able to lower the pin box on the mounting bracket of your trailer as well. There really isn't any height adjustment options outside of these, so you may need to consider a different hitch altogether that has a higher vertical limit if this doesn't solve your clearance

  • Towing 19K Toy Hauler With 18K Rated 5th Wheel Hitch
  • According to my research, the 2007 Silverado 2500 Classic has a towing capacity that varies from about 10,100 to around 15,000 lbs depending on how the truck is equipped so you'll definitely be exceeding the towing capacity of the truck as well as that of an 18K capacity 5th wheel hitch. Does the 19K figure you stated for the weight of the toy hauler represent its GVWR or is that it's dry or weight? The dry weight would typically be quite a bit lower. I couldn't recommend towing in excess

  • Can I Use A B&W 5th Wheel Hitch With A Reese Revolution pin Box?
  • The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3255 that you referenced will work with a Reese Revolution pin box and standard above bed rails that mount on the tow vehicle at 4 points. The hitch will come with 4 pins that you will use to secure to the rails. You will also need the custom fit wedge # SWW-06 that is used with B&W hitches and the Reese Revolution hitch. I also recommend # 41157 5th wheel/gooseneck 90-degree wiring harness. This harness can be mounting in the bed of your truck
