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.

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.

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 .

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: 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: 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: 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!

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: 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: 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.

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: 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: 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: 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: Joseph 03/29/2024
Every thing came perfect just like amy said thank you etrailer
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: 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: 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: 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

- To determine the towing capacity of your F-150 you'll need to find your GCVWR (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating) and subtract your GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) from it. This information can typically be found in your door jamb, owner's manual, or glove box. You can also reach out to your local Ford dealer with your VIN and they can look up the capacity.

- 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.

- Beds shorter than 8 foot do commonly need a slider hitch David, but a lot of modern fifth wheel trailers are now made with tapered noses to help and in a lot of cases a slider isn't required. 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.

- We've actually done a video of the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs # BWRVK3270 that shows how the slider works; it's really just a lever on the base that releases and allows the hitch head to slide freely towards the rear. The Patriot slider will provide you with 12" of additional clearance from your truck cab when installed. I've also linked a photo of this lever, but I don't have any photos of the actual manner that it holds the hitch head in place.
view full answer... - 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

For your 2019 Ford F-350 with a 6-3/4' bed you are going to want to either use a sliding hitch or a rotating pin box to get enough clearance so you don't hitch your truck with your trailer.

According to my research though it looks like the parts are universal fitments so you could just install the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # BWRVR3200 which gets you all new hardware, brackets, and rails that match each other so you know everything is fresh and matches.

- When installing a base rail kit for 5th wheel towing there are specific places the brackets need to go, which can be found in the installation instructions. If you don't already have base rails I recommend checking out the following:
- Universal # BWRVR3200
- Custom # C16419-204
The universal rails are less expensive but they do require drilling into your vehicle frame, whereas the custom brackets bolt right up to existing holes so the installation is much less labor intensive.

- If you're referring to the 5th wheel hitch itself the then yes, you would be able to remove the hitch from the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVR3200 by removing the four pin and clips that attach the feet of the hitch into the rails.

However, what you can do if you need to mount an above bed 5th wheel hitch that uses industry standard base rails is use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # 16310 which will give you the same rails

- We can easily help you install the B and W Patriot Fifth Wheel hitch # BWRVK3200 in the bed of your 2017 Ford F-250 long bed but we do not have the rail kit part number you mentioned.
Instead you would need the Reese rail kit part # RP50074-58 which is a confirmed fit for your truck and provides the same rails that the Patriot is designed to fit. This is a custom install kit too which means it will install in half the time as a universal kit and will minimize drilling.

- For your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed there are only universal fifth wheel rail kits available that would require drilling into the truck frame like the B and W part # BWRVR3200. This is by far the best deal though so it would be way to go.
view full answer... - Does B and W Fifth Wheel Rail Kit BWRVR3200 Have Weight Capacity
- Fifth wheel rail kits like the B and W part # BWRVR3200 don't have independent weight capacities but B and W (and other manufacturers) state that the rail kits have the same weight capacity as the hitch that's installed in the kit.
So if you had a 22k hitch installed in the rails like the Reese part # RP30033 you'd have the 22k capacity you mentioned.

- No, they can not! The B&W Universal Base Rails item # BWRVR3200 and any other comparable set of rails will not be compatible with a preinstalled gooseneck hitch. I do have quite a few options to potentially add some 5th wheel rails using an adapter or a puck system like item # RP30138-26 but you'll need to remove the gooseneck hitch first for the puck system. If you're interested in an adapter I would need you to give me a part number preferably or a brand of what gooseneck hitch you have

- 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

- For your 2000 Dodge Dakota you will want to install B&W Universal Base Rails # BWRVR3200. This fits your vehicle and offers compatibility with any standard 5th wheel hitch such as B&W Patriot, Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, and Reese.

- I actually recommend going with the Demco Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches # DM8552005-71 instead of B&W.
Mainly because B&W doesn't offer just the frame brackets separately, so you'd have to buy the whole kit # BWRVR3200, and it's not custom to your vehicle so you'd do a lot of drilling into your frame.
Whereas the Demco # DM8552005-71 is a custom kit that will cut your installation time down significantly due to much less drilling,
