Question:
I currently have the Patriot by B and W 18K out of a 2012 ford. Ive since purchased a 2017 F350 and Im trying to figure out if the top from the Patriot will fit the BWRVB3300 base? Thank you in advance.

Expert Reply:
While the Patriot and Companion are very similar looking, unfortunately they are different enough that the head units aren't interchangeable. We have confirmed this with B&W on a few different occasions.
If your 2017 Ford F-350 has the OEM puck system and you would like to stick with a B&W 5th wheel hitch (which I highly recommend) then you need the entire Companion # BWRVK3300 as opposed to just the base # BWRVB3300 that you referenced.
Please note that if you have a short bed we recommend using the sliding version of the Companion, part # BWRVK3370, to ensure that you have enough trailer to truck cab clearance during tight turns.
