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 up and down for optimal positioning. As a result, this hitch can easily accommodate the height of your trailer.


Built-In Slider

Most often used on trucks with 6' beds, a slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.


The slider that is built into the base of the Patriot allows for 12" of fore and aft travel to give you the clearance you need.

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.



by: Ralph - Fresno, Ca06/07/2023

From the start,the folks at etrailer were very courteous and helpful. I called many times during the decision making process and everyone was always right there to help. When I finally decided to purchase the B&W 18K Patriot w/slider Bailey was there to help with the order. She explained the free freight shipping and it was a done deal. It arrived 1 day earlier than stated, as soon as I opened the cartons it was in fact the good ol' American made quality I was accustomed to growing up. I proceeded to install on the B&W rails I purchased and installed locally on my 2022 F250 Lariat/ Tremor.I had a small hick- up with the install and etrailer gave me B&W's # as they like to handle issues themselves. Stephanie at B&W was just as courteous. Overall a very pleasant experience. The Patriot was basically plug and play. I then connected my 2021 Grand Design 303RLS Reflection and rolled down yhe road. What a smooth and quiet ride, loved it! I would definitely recommend etrailer and their products. Thank you all that helped.



by: Ronald 11/22/2022

So far so good. Hitch appears to be good quality. It was easy to install after installing the mounting kit. I haven't used it yet so I can't comment on how it handles when pulling a camper.



by: Bill03/06/2023

This hitch is great! Works flawlessly and is easy to install. Directions for mounting hardware sucks . I I’m on of those who like to just hold it up and see how it works. I recommend reading the crappy instructions and then hold the brackets up. Front bar directions good rear bar is bad .



by: Sean03/02/2020

Tech assistance with questions and ordering process was great. I will use etrailer again and will recommend them to others.

Unit is solid and well built, just as advertised. Assembly and installation was straightforward but prepare for lifting help as the base unit is quite heavy.

This is a replacement upgrade and I can't wait for weather to get better and go camping.



by: Dave08/11/2022

Great hitch in my 2015 Ram 2500 Short Bed. I had to contact B&W due to a concern with tightening the mounting bolts. The threads in the holes are painted, B&W said to run a tap through the threads. Also I was missing a few bolts on previously installed mounting kit. B&W sent me the whole bolt kit overnight for free. Awesome American company proudly supporting their products. I highly recommend their products. Also etrailer sent this hitch to me in a timely manner at a great price. I would use etrailer again. Thank you!



by: Casey 03/16/2024

This is an excellent hitch, easy install on existing mounting rails! Etrailer had the best price by far and provided free shipping! I would highly recommend this company, the only issue I had was with UPS freight, who sat on my shipment for two full weeks before delivering it.



by: Brian H03/08/2024

This is my first time using a fifth wheel hitch so I don’t have anything to compare it to but other people recommend it to me I haven’t had any issues with this well built hitch and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.



by: Rick A05/17/2024

This is a quality hitch. Very well constructed and I can't wait to try it out. If you need the bolt dow rails and kit give yourself plenty of time to install.

by: David 07/08/2022

The hitch performed as advertised. It was easy to install, fitting my current rails perfectly. It is heavy and requires a minimum of two young strong people to install it. I was very pleased with eTrailer.



by: Jerry03/03/2024

So happy to have used this slider hitch for the past year easy to use and absolutely no chucking sound whatsoever,my wife loves that part Thanks for providing the best product possible



by: Gary09/19/2022

I’ve had 2 Reese hitches before this b&w and this puts them to shame I absolutely love the ease of hooking and unhooking and it is totally quiet it fit my rail system perfectly



by: Terry 03/09/2024

Pulled twice now and have great clearance between cab and trailer.



by: David01/21/2023

The installation went very well. Very simple and easy to follow instructions on all three products I purchased from etrailer (hitch, rails and wiring harness.) I would highly recommend all three products.



by: Jack 01/25/2024

A little heavy for one person to install, i use a block and chain. quite and secure. smooth engage/disengagement to fifth wheel. definetly recommend



by: Tim 04/05/2024

Excellent hitch in every way except for the weight I would give it 5 stars.



by: Dave 05/11/2023

Functionally, this is a rock solid 5th wheel hitch. It takes a bit to get the hang of using it, and it is very heavy to move, when you want to access more of the truck bed. I have yet to use the slider function and after using it for a year, I can’t see that I will ever need to.



by: Terry 10/29/2023

Overall a very solid hitch. The dual jaw system I’ve never used before just had a slide bar, and after one year using this hitch, the jaws are very forgiving especially when the hitch is in a bind. Just pull the handle and the jaws release with ease.



by: Tim 03/07/2024

I installed it yesterday and it went into the back of my truck with out any trouble I have not had a chance to hook up my fifth wheel yet I'm sure it will be fine thanks again for checking in on me



by: Thomas04/03/2018

Excellent hitch! We go camping about every 4 to 6 weeks (year round) for 3 to 5 days at a time. This hitch is so easy to operate!



by: Joseph 03/29/2024

Every thing came perfect just like amy said thank you etrailer



by: MC10/25/2023

Great 5th wheel hitch for the cost, easy to use. It is a heavier unit, so once it's in, it's pretty much stays there, yet removing it to just the rails isn't difficult at all.



by: Kyle f06/21/2022

Very happy with. Heavy duty American made. My old one didn’t even pivot right to left and was sloppy/clunky. I know this is going to be amazing and save me from backing trailer into truck when turning sharp with my short bed ram 2500.



by: Edwin 10/20/2023

First let me say that this is a great Hitch it's heavy duty and soild, the installation is not that hard if your mechanical inclined, the instructions can be a bit confusing, but just take your time keep all hardware together with each box that contains your parts and it will go together without any problems.this Hitch has a lot of adjustments for a short truck bed that's why I choose this one and it's made in the USA. Etrailer delivered just what i needed and a day early



by: Randy03/29/2023

The products are good. however due to your web page shutting down in the middle of the ordering process, when it came back up the cart showed empty so I ordered the hitch. When it stated there were two items in the cart, I assumed that the installation kit was also ordered. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I received the notice of shipping that I realized the order had been placed for two hitches. I contacted your customer service and explained what happened and was told that since the order had already shipped, there was nothing that he could do. (He did state that if I refused delivery of one of the hitches I would be charged shipping both ways for the one hitch($590), I said that this did not seem fair.

  • Determining The Height Of A B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch In A 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • You'll actually want to measure from the ground to the floor of the bed and not the top of the sides. The height I'm seeing from an open tailgate (floor of the bed) to the ground for a 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty is approximately 36" and the sides of the bed are approximately 21". Subtracting the 36" height from the 51" king pin height will give you 15" measurement.

  • Does the B&W Patriot use Hitch Head Pins like the Companion Does?
  • The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider part # BWRVK3270 does not use pins to slide in and keep the handles from raising up. In this design they decided they were not needed as when the head is slid down onto the base the handles rotate down securing it. Similar to the Companion but in this case not necessary.

With the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 measuring in at 17-19" in height, your total height with this adapter will be 19-1/2" - 21-1/2".

  • What Is The Advantage Of The B&W Companion Hitch Versus The Patriot
  • The main advantage of the Companion hitch over the patriot is versatility. The companion hitch requires either an OEM puck system, or the installation of a B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck hitch. With the companion/turnoverball setup, you are giving yourself the ability to tow both gooseneck and fifth wheel trailers. Also, the companion hitch will give you a clear bed when the hitch is not installed. With the Patriot hitch you will have rails installed permanently in the bed which can get

  • Will B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 Fit A 2004 Ford F250 Short Bed Truck

The Patriot is a quality hitch, made in the USA with 3/4" thick jaws and 18,000lbs of capacity. The powder coated gray finish looks great and resists rust and corrosion too. Included are video resources with additional information to review.

  • Reducing Noise from B&W Patriot Slider 5th Wheel Hitch when Not Towing a Trailer
  • Fifth wheel trailer hitches, especially sliders such as # BWRVK3270, can make some noise when there is no trailer connected just like you said. Since a slider has extra components and other moving parts there are a lot of places for potential movement. To reduce the noise between the hitch and the rails it mounts to you can use sound dampeners # 16900. They will go between the hitch and the rails and will reduce the sound at those points.

  • Can You Slide A B&W Patriot Hitch Forward And Use A Gooseneck Hitch Without Removing It
  • No, you can not use your gooseneck hitch with the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 slid forward. The hitch will interfere with the operation off the gooseneck so it will need to be removed every time you need to use the gooseneck hitch. The head of the hitch is easily removeable by pulling the pins between it and the pivot arms. This will lighten the load a bit and make removing the hitch or reinstalling it more manageable.

  • Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty Short Bed.

  • Hitch Recommendation For A 2021 GMC Sierra 2500HD Short Bed W/ A Heartland Milestone 386BH
  • Since your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500HD is a short bed using a sliding hitch will help add more turning radius and help prevent the nose of your Heartland Milestone 386BH from coming in contact with the cab. You can go without but I always highly recommend a slider in a short bed truck out of precaution for the cab and camper nose. When you tow longer trailers like yours turns can be very troublesome in most campsites so the slider will definitely help. The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch

If your hitch uses industry standard rails like in the picture I attached, then you can use rails from other manufacturers with your RBW hitch.

  • Hi H.L. There isn't actually a specific weight capacity for any 5th wheel base rail kit, including the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2401 that fits your 2016 Ford F-250. Base rails are designed to meet the tow capacity of the vehicle and hitch, so those are always the limiting factor. As for the hitch, so long as your PullRite SuperGlide 2300 is an ISR series - which stands for "Industry Standard Rails", it will work with the # BWRVK2401.

  • What Fifth Wheel Hitch Fits The Demco SL34 Base Rails?
  • The Demco SL 34 base rails will work only with the Demco SL Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches like the 6076SL-16K or 6076SL-21K. The Demco SL series hitches are unfortunately no longer available. We recommend replacing them with Industry standard rails, like the # BWRVK2401, which is custom fitted for a 2016 F-350 with a 6-3/4' bed. This will work with virtually any fifth wheel hitch made for industry standard rails.

  • B and W does not offer just the bracket kits of their fifth wheel rail kits so you'd need to go with the B and W Custom Rail Kit part # BWRVK2401 for your 2015 Ford F-350 short bed. Since you have a short bed truck hopefully you have the slider Patriot part # BWRVK3270 so that you have enough clearance to make tight turns.

  • B&W Base Rail Kit for Using 18K Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2019 Chevy Silverado
  • The B&W base rail kit that you would have installed on your 2012 Ford F-250 is either the Custom # BWRVK2401 or the Universal # BWRVR3200. The base rails for your older Ford are different than what they need for the new 2019 Chevy Silverado but they will still be able to utilize a Patriot 18K part # BWRVK3255 or part # BWRVK3270 using one of the following base rail kits (depending on what model Silverado they have): Silverado 1500 LD - # BWRVK2503 Silverado 1500 - # BWRVK2504 Silverado
