Question:

Is it safe to use a patriot 18k with a 16k Reese sidewinder on my Nissan Titan shortbed. If so what kind of wedge should I use?

Expert Reply:

Yes, the B&W Patriot 18K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 is compatible and perfectly safe to use with the Reese Sidewinder Pin Box. The correct custom wedge to use is the part # SWW-06. This is what will prevent the king pin from pivoting at the hitch.

I have attached a couple short video reviews that you can check out as well.
