Expert Reply:
The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3255 is compatible with all industry-standard, above-bed rails (ISR). While there are exceptions, most all base rails manufactured in recent years are made to what is now referred to as Industry Standard Rail (ISR) pattern. These are mounted to the tow vehicle with a 22" on-center spread between the two mounted rails and each has a specific pattern for the mounting slots at about 5", 10-3/8" and 14-1/2" on either side of the rail center line. The slots where the 5th wheel hitch locks into are +/- a slight tolerance of 1/2" by 1-1/4". Compare this to your currently installed base rails, you will most likely find they match. Please note the attached image for a visual of what is described above.
