Today we're going to take a look at the replacement slider base for the BMW Patriot slider 5th wheel trailer hitch, and this has an 18,000 pound weight capacity. Now this replacement slider base will fit the BMW Patriot slider 5th wheel trailer hitch and allows you to attach your 5th wheel hitch to the rails in your truck bed. The adjustable pivot arms, which are these right here that I've attached to the base already, this will let you mount the hitch head to fit your application. It has the polyurethane bushings right up at the top here. The hitch head would drop right on top of that. Now these arms when you attach them to here, there's a range of holes on both sides, so you can move the arms front to back for improved cab clearance, and you can also put them up to down to raise or lower. It gives you about three different hitch height settings because you want your trailer that you're towing to be about as level as possible to the tow vehicle, so you can put this in three different hitch height settings, either 17 inch, 18 inch, or 19 inch, and the hitch height is always measured from the truck bed to the top of the hitch head when it's installed in here.
The hitch head that goes on here is a part number BWRVC3200. We do sell that separately on your website. That would fit right on top of here and you can also buy this base with the head already included, and that's part number BWRVK3270. Now this is a very quick and simple installation. It fits on the above bed base rails, so it is compatible with industry standard above bed base rails. The rails we do sell separately.
If you already have rails in your truck bed they should work in there with no problem. This does include the four hitch pins and clips that'll attach the hitch to the rails. This base is a steel construction. It has a nice grey power coat finish, which is corrosion resistant. This part is made in the USA. A few specs on this, the gross towing weight capacity is 18,000 pounds.
The hitch height I had mentioned once your head's on here measure from the truck bed to the top of the hitch head would be 17 inches to 19 inches, and the travel on this, I'm going to show you the travel is 12 inches front to back, so if this is the cab, that would be the tailgate so this is in the lock towing position. If you just raise that lever up you can see it'll go 12 inches, and once it hits the maneuvering position it would lock into place and then when you're done maneuvering and you want to go back to the towing position, again just lift that lever up to unlock it and it'll release and lock into the towing position just like that. One last measurement I want to give you is the foot print of this, the width and the depth of it to give you an idea of how much space this will take up in your truck bed. Width is going to be right at 32 inches and the depth from front to back is right at 29 and 1/2. That should do it for the review of the replacement slider base for the BMW Patriot slider 5th wheel trailer hitch with the 18,000 pound weight capacity.

This replacement slider base fits your B&W Patriot fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Adjustable arms have polyurethane bushings for hitch head (sold separately) to ride on, resulting in less rattle and noise.Absolutely superb quality. This replaced my fixed base and I was so glad when it dropped right into the slots on my rails. This is very heavy as it should be no lighter. I'm glad I had a front loader to get it into the truck. The head plate I already had was also a perfect fit on the new vertical arms. Instructions where also easy to understand. I gave 4 stars because They need to weld a loop on it especially on the pivoting mounting plate. I highly recommend B&W Hitches
I had 2 previous hitches that fit the rails great, I had to modify the rail to fit this one. I still had to hammer the mounting pins in. I think it will be great for towing and backing.
Shipping company provided a package where the pallet was not damaged and the package was intact with no damage. This is rare now days. The driver allowed me to back up to his truck with mine and this way the load was already in the back of the truck ready to unpackage and install. It installed quickly with no issues.
Great hitch that is affordable and easy to install

Still performing well. I still recommend a locking device of some kind to secure the pivoting head plate
