Quiet, Secure Ride

The 3/4" thick jaw on the Patriot is precision machined to provide a tight, sturdy connection. And unlike slide-bar models, the rounded 2-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.


In addition to the sturdy jaw, the Patriot has durable polyurethane bushings built in to provide a smoother, more comfortable towing experience. These bushings sit on top of the pivot arms that support the fifth-wheel head. Because the head is resting on padded area, it is able to pivot without clanking. The ability of the head to pivot - both front to back and side to side - along with the trailer also helps to limit the chucking that may occur with a more static hitch.


Non-Binding Latch Handle

The dual jaw on the Patriot is operated by a simple-to-use cam-action handle. This handle allows you to quickly and easily release the jaws on the hitch, even if you are on uneven terrain. If any binding does occur between your truck and trailer, the jaws may remain closed after you move the handle to the open position. But because the handle is unlatched, there is nothing keeping the jaws closed except for the binding pressure. Therefore, simply driving your truck forward will be enough to force the jaws to open.


The cam-action handle is held in the closed position with the included pin and clip. For extra security, you can replace the pin with a sturdy padlock. The shackle on the lock you choose should have a diameter of 5/16", height of 3", and a width of 2-1/4".


Easily Adjustable Design

The B&W Patriot can be adjusted front to back as well as up and down for optimal positioning. As a result, this hitch can accommodate the height of your trailer and also help to give you the cab clearance needed to execute turns while towing.


Patriot Hitch Arm Positioning Diagram

To adjust either the height of the Patriot or the fore/aft positioning, just attach the hitch's pivot arms in the desired location on the base. The above diagram gives an indication of where to mount the arms so that you get the height and the cab clearance that you need.

This 5th wheel has exceeded all my expectations. It’s worked flawlessly for thousands of miles and many different type of 5th wheels trailers. Not a peep, B&W FTW!!

Zeke

1/19/2024

This 5th wheel hitch has been superb!! I deliver RV’s and relocate traveling nurses and doctors or people that want to relocate. I deliver across the country and I have been using this B&W for over 200k miles and it has worked flawlessly. I highly recommend it. It’s tried and true.



by:

So far this has been a great hitch. Takes up a lot less space than the massive auto slider hitch that I had previously, and have had no problem with any sharp turns so far. It is also much easier to handle by myself taking it out of the truck. The only thing I’ve had some problems with is getting the handle lock pin out once I’m ready to disconnect. To solve, I’ve started wedging the flat part of my crowbar under the head of the pin and tapping it with a rubber mallet from underneath.

Still enjoying the hitch and using it 8-10 times a year. I’ve begun using a smaller diameter pin in the handle so I no longer have difficulty with getting the pin out.



by:

Love this hitch, very solid! Pretty light weight, easy to get in and out when I need to use the full truck bed. Easy height adjustment to get my 5th wheel riding level when towing.

@MikeC So glad to hear that!


by:

This hitch is amazing. I replaced an older Reese hitch. With my old hitch there was constant shucking and could feel the trailer pushing the truck while stopping. There is no more shucking and you can “barely tell” there’s a trailer behind me anymore. The coupling and uncoupling with the cam action lever is extremely simple!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HITCH



by:

I just got it installed looking forward to connecting the trailer. But, the trailer is in the shop! I spent a lot time evaluating hitches and decided on the B&W Patriot 18K. I would like to better packing for shipping, the finish on the hitch got damaged.



by:

I did my research on this hitch and was convinced it was the one I wanted yet I still felt the need to get some input from the pros, 2 phone calls (one to E-trailer and one to B&W) and I came away with peace of mind that the B&W was the right one for me. Best of all they did not try to up sell me to the 22k hitch two rv dealers tried to tell me I would need to safely pull the 16,500 gvwr 5th wheel I was in the process of buying. The hitch was reasonably priced, arrived in a timely manner in good condition and installation was straight forward. Bottom line I couldn’t be happier with my B&W hitch but most of all my decision to buy it from etrailer



by:

We received the hitch and brackets packaged very well. The installation went well and pretty straight forward.
We did not have our 5th wheel to set the height but took a lucky guess at 18". We picked the RV up and couldn't be happier with this hitch. Absolutely no chucking, very smooth ride. We have an uneven slope to back down to get to our RV pad and were concerned about that. With the swivel on this hitch, backed with no problem. We wouldn't settle for any other hitch if we have to ever buy another one.
The RV sales and service people were very impressed with this hitch and the way it is set up with the frame brackets.

Very happy customers!



by:

I have always had bumper pull RVs. This is my first 5th wheel and 5th wheel hitch. It took approx 5-1/2 hrs to install the rails, hitch, and 7-way extension on a '17 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel with Ramboxs. I love the construction and the "feel" of the hitch. Directions were easy to follow. I get the trailer in a couple days, so no comment on towing, but I am not anticipating any complications. Looking forward to using this hitch for years to come.



by:

We really enjoy the peace of mind this hitch provides. It is secure both in the truck and hitched to our 5th wheel. As it is heavy to install and remove so that we can use our truck when not towing, we installed a hydraulic lift in our garage to lift it out and onto a cart we push to the side for storage until next time. The lift puts it back up into the truck. It's so easy to have this sturdy hitch!

Susan

We continue to enjoy the security and peace of mind while using this hitch. Love etrailer.



by:

Love this. So much easier to hook up than with the Reese I used to have. It's also much easier to take in and out of the truck bed.



by:

Love this new hitch! Very high quality and easy to operate. This was mounted in our Ford Ford F-350 6.7L Powerstroke. The hitch accommodates our current fifth wheel, and will allow for upgrades in the future. Very satisfied.



by:

B&W quality is hard to beat. AN excellent constructed and crafted hitch.

Rich

It works great. Strong, durable hitch. Really like the locking mechanism compared to other brands.



by:

B&W Hitch is very well built and easy to latch and unlatch compared to other hitchs.



by:

Very pleased with my purchase of the Patriot 18k fifth wheel. It arrived on the day promised. Assembly and installation was simple. Product looks great.



by:

Product is well built and painted, spent 10 months with it about a block from the gulf of Mexico in the bed of my truck 24/7 and the paint hasn't faded, no parts have rusted or anything. Very impressed with build and paint quality. It also pulls smoother, and dampens a lot more than my Reese 5er did on rough roads. The Reese also began rusting and paint flaking 3 months after purchase and spent it's time in Oklahoma where the weather wasn't too harsh in comparison to the ocean air the B&W experienced in Texas. 10/10 B&W.



by:

The platform on this hitch is well built and wider than my previoushitch. I have been using a different brand for years, this Patriot hitch is far superior to anything I looked at.



by:

This is my second b@w it's the only hitch that I will tow with I had over 65000 miles of towing with the first one without a problem



by:

Arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Installed with little effort. Very pleased.



by:

Hitch arrived on time and good packaging. It took maybe 45 minutes to assemble, very easy. It would have taken less time but the bolt holes are so precise that the paint made the bolts so tight that you had to run them through with a socket but rather that than to big.



by:

Hitch has been great. Easy to hitch and un hitch.
Well made



by:

Excellent product. Best fifth wheel hitch I have owned yon 22 years of towing! Highly recommended!



by:

Purchased B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch from etrailer a year ago. Received the hitch right away without any problems. etrailer.com was easy to purchase from. We were first time buyers on a 5th wheel. Had been using a new competitors hitch we bought from our dealership. Worse purchase ever. The competitor had just gotten into the 5th wheel hitch part recently. Went through 5 heads we received from the competitor and the hitch still did not work right. It would take us half an hour to an hour to hook up or unhook. Decided to take loss on hitch and buy a B &W hitch. The B & W hitch was awesome. Hooks up and unhooks in minutes. It is so easy. Would recommend B &W and etrailer anytime. The price from etrailer was great and was the cheapest price I could find anywhere. If I could have, I would have given B & W and etrailer 10 stars for the review.

John S.

11/3/2020

Still the greatest purchase. So easy and quick. Wouldnt even consider buying any other brand, will stay with B &amp W. Happy Campers!



by:

This Trailer Hitch looks awesome. I really like the fact that if the jaws do not open when the handle is pulled back moving the vehicle slightly will open the jaws. My old CURT hitch (also a good hitch) jaws would not open if on uneven ground or with tension on the jaws. Also, the two part design HAS SAVE MY BACK! I do not like to readily admit this, but I'm getting old, and my old one piece 5th wheel hitch was back breaking lifting into a bed of my Chevy 3500HD long bed.

Frank P.

2/2/2022

Im still happy with this hitch, especially the two piece design which makes it more manageable to take in and out.



by:

Was unable to use this unit and had to return it. If you watch the current video for the Curt X5, at fifty seconds it is stated you can use a B&W fifth wheel hitch. Well you can’t use this one. Beside that, the unit was extremely well made and if I could have used it, I would have trusted it.



by:

This was my first fifth wheel hitch that I have ever used or installed on my truck. It was recommended to me by other RV folks that have fifth wheels. The price for the hitch was very competitive. The customer service and support line was extremely helpful. The hitch is very easy to put in and take out of the truck. It is also very easy to hook up to my fifth wheel. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a hitch to purchase one like this because it’s easy to use and works great. They also followed up several weeks after I had it installed to make sure I had no issues and everything was working as it should. Great customer service.

David

3/7/2022

Great! I have used this product all of last year and it worked very well. I do remove it when I am not using it to tow the fifth wheel trailer. I did add a small piece of silicone material between the truck bed rails and the hitch itself to prevent the paint from being chipped and scratched.The thin piece of silicone also prevents any rattling or rubbing of metal to metal components in that area.The hitch and rails still look like new. I would recommend this product to anyone.

  • B and W Patriot Hitch Recommendation for Rails of 2006 Ford F-350 that Had a Husky Hitch Installed
    The Blue Ox Patriot part # BWRVK3255 that you referenced would fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails you have in the bed of your 2006 Ford F-350 that you had a Husky hitch installed in. The Patriot hitch is a great hitch that would work well for you. The head of this hitch is the same as the Companion hitch which is often referred to as the nicest fifth wheel hitch on the market.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for Short Bed Truck That Doesn't Need Slider Hitch Clearance
    The Blue Ox Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3255 that you referenced would be a great solution for what you need. Since you haven't really needed the slider mechanism in the past the offset that the head of the hitch allows would be enough to prevent turning clearance issues. Also this hitch has a really great jaw design so it will hold the king pin of the trailer very tightly. This translates in a very quiet and smooth ride quality unlike your current slider hitch.

    The best made in the USA 5th wheel hitch we have that will work with the above bed industry standard mounting rails in your 2006 Ford F-250 is the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3255.

  • What Causes a Trailer with a Pivoting Pin Box to Chuck
    It's actually the fifth wheel hitch that makes the biggest impact on chucking when fifth wheel towing. If it's a pivoting pin box like you mentioned it can also be from using the universal wedge instead of one custom fit for the hitch and pin box. For a fifth wheel hitch that is known to be very smooth and quiet the B and W Patriot part # BWRVK3255 would be a great option as it has a very tight jaw design as well as cushioning built into the head as well.

  • Can Ram Truck with RamBoxes Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
    The Ram trucks that have the Ramboxes are a bit of a challenge to tow a fifth wheel trailer with the issue is not the height of the bed rails so much as it is the width of the bed rails. Since they are much wider and make the truck bed quite a bit narrower there isn't enough room for the pin box of the fifth wheel trailer to pivot out when making turns. The pin box of the trailer would hit the Ramboxes before a sharp turn could be made which is why the only solution is to install a Sidewinder...
