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.

Ask the Experts about this 5th Wheel Hitch
Do you have a question about this 5th Wheel Hitch?


  • Can B and W Patriot Install in Bed of 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed
  • You can use the B and W Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3200 in the bed of your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed since this hitch is designed to fit industry standard rails which we do have fit options from other brands for your truck. The Reese rail kit part # RP30035 fits your truck and the Patriot so this would work great. You can't use the Companion hitches with the Turning Point pin boxes so that would not be the route to go. For a wedge to fit the Patriot to the Turning Point you'd want

  • Comparing the B&W Patriot 16K, Curt A16, and Reese 16K 5th Wheel Hitches
  • The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3200, Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120, and Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 all have fully articulating hitch heads so there won't be much of a difference in hitching/unhitching at an angle. I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120 over the others for a few different reasons. The first of which is that the A16 has 1" thick, dual interlocking jaws which will do a phenomenal job of reducing

  • Is B&W Patriot Fifth Wheel Hitch the Same as Companion Hitch
  • The B and W Patriot hitch # BWRVK3200 is very similar to the B and W Companion hitch but instead it is designed to fit industry standard rails which are the more common rails you see installed in the bed of trucks. For a custom rail kit confirmed as a fit for your 2007 Ford F-250 we then have the part # BWRVK2400 which would work well.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails and Hitch for 2018 Ram 2500 Tall Bed Rails
  • For your 2018 Ram 2500, we haven't had anyone say they couldn't find a 5th wheel fit. You will want to go with a hitch that has the higher height adjustment and then you'll want to make sure your pin box of your trailer is adjustable as well. I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3200 which will use standard rails and will adjust up to 19 inches tall. This is a very strong hitch that is made in the USA. For your rails, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom

  • 5th Wheel Hitch and Installation Kit for 2019 Ram 1500 5-1/2 Foot Bed With Rambox
  • The B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 will not work for your 2019 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed, and it is not recommended to use any 5th wheel hitch in a bed that short with Ramboxes. If you do, you will need a Sidewinder such as the Reese Sidewinder Fifth-Wheel Pin Box # RP34FR. To find the correct Sidewinder what you will need to know is the manufacturer and model number of the pin box on your fifth wheel and match that with the correct replacement. For example, Sidewinder # RP34FR will replace

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for Industry Standard Rails in a Truck w/ Ramboxes
  • Thanks for the pictures! For your set up with a 2015 Ram 3500 short bed with the RamBoxes, you will definitely need to use a Sidewinder in order to have the clearance to tow a 5th wheel trailer. You can't use a Pullrite Superglide 5th Wheel hitch with a Turning Point because you would have two pivot points. You'll need to use a standard 5th wheel hitch like you would in a long bed truck. I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3200. This hitch has a 16,000 lbs

If you're concerned about the amount of weight on the rear axle we can look into some suspension enhancement to make your trip safer as well.

  • What Is The 5th Wheel Towing Capacity Of A 2010 Ram 1500 5.7 Quad Cab 4x4
  • According to what I can see in the online user guide, your 2010 Ram 1500 5.7 Quad Cab 4x4 should have a 10,450 lb max towing weight and a 1,510 lb max payload. That being said there is a lot of variance between these different Ram models, and we do suggest consulting your owners manual to confirm the towing capacities of your specific vehicle. This information can also be found on the stocker in your door. If you are in the market for a new fifth wheel hitch, I recommend the B and W

  • Will The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch Fit On Reese Base Rails
  • The Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50084-58 will place the rails 22" apart from center to center, which is the industry standard. The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3200 has industry standard mounting points so it will be a compatible fit. When installing the rails I leave the bolts that connect them to the frame brackets a little bit loose and place the hitch in place and then tighten them down to ensure an easy fit. There's a slight amount

  • Compatibility of B and W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch with Reese Revolution/Sidewinder
  • My contact at B and W has informed me that the Patriot 5th Wheel is compatible with Sidewinder pin boxes. He also tells me that the wedge on the underside of the Reese Revolution pin box (both the universal and hitch specific wedges) are compatible with the Patriot fifth wheel hitch. I have linked you to product demonstration and install videos that you might find helpful.

  • Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for 1999 Ford F350 DRW

You will not need to change the above bed rails for your 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty if you install ISR (Industry Standard Rails) which pretty much the only currently available option. Any hitch made in recent years by a major brand will be ISR except for those made specifically for the respective OEM puck systems. ISR is named so because they are the most popular pattern so are now referred to as the "industry standard." Industry

  • Wedge Kit For A Lippert Turning Point Pin Box And B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch

  • Will the Lippert Turning Point Wedge fit B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The universal wedge of your Lippert Turning Point will work with the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3200. That said I do recommend using a custom wedge for a better fit, the Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth Wheels # SWW-06; we have had a number of customers tell us that this wedge, which was designed for use with Reese Sidewinders, works perfectly with the similar Lippert Turning point. I have added links to video reviews of the Patriot and wedge for you to check out as well.

  • Can B and W Patriot Hitch be Used with Pivoting Pin Boxes Like Sidewinders
  • I have the current manual of the B and W Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3200 pulled up and it states that pivoting pin boxes like the Sidewinders, Reese Revolutions, and Lippert Turning Points can be used on page 4. I am not sure why you found that but the Patriot is definitely okay to use with the Turning Point.

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Ford F-250 with Factory Rail Kit
  • The best fixed fifth wheel hitch we offer for your 2019 Ford F-250 with the factory fifth wheel prep package is the USA B and W Companion Hitch part # BWRVK3200. The Companion hitches are widely regarded as the best fifth wheel hitches on the market because of how well they are made, how easy they are to use, and how tightly they hold the king pin which translates into a smoother ride quality. I attached a review video for this hitch for more info for you to check out as well.

  • Troubleshooting Lippert Turning Point Pin Box Having Issues Getting Hitched To B&W Patriot
  • Since the wedge you have worked correctly the first time you connected your Lippert Turning Point Pin Box to your B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch # BWRVK3200 then I would indeed go ahead and loosen/uninstall the wedge and reinstall it. You said you are using the correct wedge so I am assuming that you have the Lippert Turning Point Wedge # LC79UD, so you will want to make sure you have the wedge pointed the correct direction to best keep the king pin from rotating in the hitch, and will

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch Rails For 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with 5-3/4' Bed
  • For your customers 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5-3/4' bed you'll need to install the B&W 5th Wheel Rails # BWRVK2504. These are custom designed for their truck minimizing how many holes you'll need to drill. Keep in mind with a super short bed like that the customer will have to have a rotating pin box to be able to use a Pro Series 16k hitch, or they'll need a special hitch like the Demco Autoslide # DM8550040 which slides back 22-1/2" as you turn so you won't have cab to trailer contact

The B&W Custom Installation Kit does not require any drilling into the frame rail either so this will cut down on install time dramatically. The only other item I would suggest is an in-bed wiring harness, the Mighty Cord 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness part # A10-7007 is a good choice for this.

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware And Frame Brackets For A 2015 GMC Sierra 1500

However, if you have Reese base rails like # RP50064-58, you can use # RP50066 for replacement brackets and mounting hardware. If you have B&W Rails, like # BWRVK2504, you can use # BWRVR2503 for replacement brackets and hardware. If you don't have either of these rails, let me know and I'd be happy to help you further.
