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.

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.

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: 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: 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!
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.

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.

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: 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

Every thing came perfect just like amy said thank you etrailer

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: 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.

Do you have a question about this Fifth Wheel Hitch?
- Can B&W Patriot Slider Hitch BWRVK3270 Be Installed in Long-Bed 2006 GMC Sierra
- A sliding type 5th wheel hitch like the B&W Patriot Sliding 5th Wheel hitch # BWRVK3270 is required in a short bed truck but it can still be installed in a long bed so long as you always keep the hitch in the forward locked position.
The Patriot requires industry-standard above-bed base rails for installation. In a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 you can have the easiest installation using a custom kit that needs less drilling, such as the Curt # C16418-204 which is shown in the linked install
view full answer... - Is A Sliding Hitch Needed For Towing A 5th Wheel With A 2019 Ram 2500 With 6-1/2' Bed
- We always recommend either a sliding hitch or rotating pin box for any bed lengths under 8' to ensure 90 degree turning clearance. You can still pull your 2022 Jayco Eagle 321RSTS with your 6-1/2' bed but you run the risk of the nose of the 5th wheel coming into contact with the cab of your Ram when making tight turns.
For your 2019 Ram 2500 I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 along with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel

- Normally a great deal of height adjustment is not needed with fifth wheel hitches. There are some really well known hitches that don't offer any adjustment at all.

Also you can adjust the height of the pin box on the trailer for further adjustment so additional height adjustment is available. Since you don't have a trailer yet and the fact that height range is pretty rarely an

So if the trailer you plan to tow has a tapered nose and an extended pin box that sticks out past the nose of it you'd be ok with a fixed hitch like the B and W Patriot part # BWRVK3200. Otherwise a slider hitch like the part # BWRVK3270 that you referenced would be needed.
