There are some great hitches that will work with the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Nissan Titan XD OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6200, but we have confirmed with Demco that the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 will not fit the adapter. Instead, I recommend either the Demco Hijacker or Curt A-Series:

- Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider - 18,000 lbs # DM8550034
- Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider - 16,000 lbs # C16521 or Curt A20 - 20,000 lbs # C16541

The Hijacker offers fantastic convenience due to its automatic slide so you don't have to get out of the truck just to make a tight turn. It also has an elite single-piece jaw system that is reinforced via a 3/4" solid steel bar that locks into place once the jaw is closed.

The Curt A-Series also has a very good jaw system; which are interlocking dual jaws that ensure a highly secure connection with your trailer's king pin. The A-Series doesn't slide automatically but also offers convenience in the form of a handy color-coded indicator system which will let you know if the jaws on the hitch are ready to couple, uncouple or tow.

I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well of the Demco Hijacker # DM8550034, Curt A16 # C16521 and Curt A20 # C16541.

Like all Demco products, the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Ultra Slide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # DM6076P-UL-16K (16,000 lb capacity) and # DM6076P-UL-21K (21,000 lb capacity) are excellent quality and both will work with your 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6200. They have the same great jaw system that the Autoslide has and offer a very good ride, but the biggest issue with these hitches is their travel. The A-Series of hitches has a 12 inch front to back travel while the Demco Autoslide offers 14 inches of travel which means the most possible clearance from your trailer to truck's cab. The 8 inches of clearance may not be quite enough to make a full turn. So while very good options, in order, I would go: 1) Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # DM8550034 2) Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # C16521 (16,000 lbs) or Curt A20 # C16541 (20,000 lbs) 3) Demco Hijacker Premier Series Ultra Slide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # DM6076P-UL-16K (16,000 lbs) or # DM6076P-UL-21K (21,000 lbs)
