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 up and down for optimal positioning. As a result, this hitch can easily accommodate the height of your trailer.
Built-In Slider
Most often used on trucks with 6' beds, a slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.
The slider that is built into the base of the Patriot allows for 12" of fore and aft travel to give you the clearance you need.

There was a snafu on the delivery of this, like it ending up 1000 miles from my house on the first try, and then the delivery company getting mad at me for not having a forklift at my house. Since I just got this yesterday I can't say much ab out it yet, I am still trying to install it. I do suggest a hoist in your garage if you plan on removing this hitch at all, it is heavy. It looks to be in great condition though! I can't wait to get it attached so I can give it a test drive on a 2 hour trip. I can tell you that two RV retailers suggested this B&W hitches, so I have high hopes. With all the products on the market today, to get recommendations from two different companies that installs them, is impressive.

From the start,the folks at etrailer were very courteous and helpful. I called many times during the decision making process and everyone was always right there to help. When I finally decided to purchase the B&W 18K Patriot w/slider Bailey was there to help with the order. She explained the free freight shipping and it was a done deal. It arrived 1 day earlier than stated, as soon as I opened the cartons it was in fact the good ol' American made quality I was accustomed to growing up. I proceeded to install on the B&W rails I purchased and installed locally on my 2022 F250 Lariat/ Tremor.I had a small hick- up with the install and etrailer gave me B&W's # as they like to handle issues themselves. Stephanie at B&W was just as courteous. Overall a very pleasant experience. The Patriot was basically plug and play. I then connected my 2021 Grand Design 303RLS Reflection and rolled down yhe road. What a smooth and quiet ride, loved it! I would definitely recommend etrailer and their products. Thank you all that helped.

So far so good. Hitch appears to be good quality. It was easy to install after installing the mounting kit. I haven't used it yet so I can't comment on how it handles when pulling a camper.

*update* before our 3200 mile trip with a camper, we chose to upgrade our truck from a Ram 1500 to a Ram 2500. The hitch fit perfectly in both trucks. Our trip was a success. The hitch worked exceptionally. My only complaint would be a slight rattle between the hitch and mounting system when not hooked up to a camper. I temporarily fixed this by placing a piece of cardboard between to take up the slack. The other fix is to turn up the radio, lol. With the 1500 I used the slide for maneuvers but with the 2500 I really didnt need to slide the 5th wheel. I would definitely recommend this hitch, it is very good quality. I also remove the saddle when not towing. I just dont want to find it missing one day. It is very easy to remove and a replacement is around $350. It takes 2 people to lift into and out of the bed, so I installed a small chain hoist in my garage ceiling for easy lifting in and out by myself. I home this helps.
by: Bill03/06/2023
This hitch is great! Works flawlessly and is easy to install. Directions for mounting hardware sucks . I I’m on of those who like to just hold it up and see how it works. I recommend reading the crappy instructions and then hold the brackets up. Front bar directions good rear bar is bad .
by: Sean03/02/2020
Tech assistance with questions and ordering process was great. I will use etrailer again and will recommend them to others.
Unit is solid and well built, just as advertised. Assembly and installation was straightforward but prepare for lifting help as the base unit is quite heavy.
This is a replacement upgrade and I can't wait for weather to get better and go camping.

After a full year I am very satisfied with this B&W 5th wheel hitch, solid latching and quiet, no slop operation.
by: Dave08/11/2022
Great hitch in my 2015 Ram 2500 Short Bed. I had to contact B&W due to a concern with tightening the mounting bolts. The threads in the holes are painted, B&W said to run a tap through the threads. Also I was missing a few bolts on previously installed mounting kit. B&W sent me the whole bolt kit overnight for free. Awesome American company proudly supporting their products. I highly recommend their products. Also etrailer sent this hitch to me in a timely manner at a great price. I would use etrailer again. Thank you!
by: Casey 03/16/2024
This is an excellent hitch, easy install on existing mounting rails! Etrailer had the best price by far and provided free shipping! I would highly recommend this company, the only issue I had was with UPS freight, who sat on my shipment for two full weeks before delivering it.
by: Brian H03/08/2024
This is my first time using a fifth wheel hitch so I don’t have anything to compare it to but other people recommend it to me I haven’t had any issues with this well built hitch and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
by: Rick A05/17/2024
This is a quality hitch. Very well constructed and I can't wait to try it out. If you need the bolt dow rails and kit give yourself plenty of time to install.

The hitch performed as advertised. It was easy to install, fitting my current rails perfectly. It is heavy and requires a minimum of two young strong people to install it. I was very pleased with eTrailer.

Very glad I bought the hitch. It continues to perform as advertised. Makes backing my unit into tight sites much easier.
by: Jerry03/03/2024
So happy to have used this slider hitch for the past year easy to use and absolutely no chucking sound whatsoever,my wife loves that part Thanks for providing the best product possible
by: Gary09/19/2022
I’ve had 2 Reese hitches before this b&w and this puts them to shame I absolutely love the ease of hooking and unhooking and it is totally quiet it fit my rail system perfectly
by: Terry 03/09/2024
Pulled twice now and have great clearance between cab and trailer.
by: Dave 05/11/2023
Functionally, this is a rock solid 5th wheel hitch. It takes a bit to get the hang of using it, and it is very heavy to move, when you want to access more of the truck bed. I have yet to use the slider function and after using it for a year, I can’t see that I will ever need to.
by: Tim 04/05/2024
Excellent hitch in every way except for the weight I would give it 5 stars.
by: Terry 10/29/2023
Overall a very solid hitch. The dual jaw system I’ve never used before just had a slide bar, and after one year using this hitch, the jaws are very forgiving especially when the hitch is in a bind. Just pull the handle and the jaws release with ease.
by: Thomas04/03/2018
Excellent hitch! We go camping about every 4 to 6 weeks (year round) for 3 to 5 days at a time. This hitch is so easy to operate!
by: Tim 03/07/2024
I installed it yesterday and it went into the back of my truck with out any trouble I have not had a chance to hook up my fifth wheel yet I'm sure it will be fine thanks again for checking in on me
by: Jack 01/25/2024
A little heavy for one person to install, i use a block and chain. quite and secure. smooth engage/disengagement to fifth wheel. definetly recommend
by: MC10/25/2023
Great 5th wheel hitch for the cost, easy to use. It is a heavier unit, so once it's in, it's pretty much stays there, yet removing it to just the rails isn't difficult at all.
by: Kyle f06/21/2022
Very happy with. Heavy duty American made. My old one didn’t even pivot right to left and was sloppy/clunky. I know this is going to be amazing and save me from backing trailer into truck when turning sharp with my short bed ram 2500.
by: Edwin 10/20/2023
First let me say that this is a great Hitch it's heavy duty and soild, the installation is not that hard if your mechanical inclined, the instructions can be a bit confusing, but just take your time keep all hardware together with each box that contains your parts and it will go together without any problems.this Hitch has a lot of adjustments for a short truck bed that's why I choose this one and it's made in the USA. Etrailer delivered just what i needed and a day early
by: Joseph 03/29/2024
Every thing came perfect just like amy said thank you etrailer
by: Randy03/29/2023
The products are good. however due to your web page shutting down in the middle of the ordering process, when it came back up the cart showed empty so I ordered the hitch. When it stated there were two items in the cart, I assumed that the installation kit was also ordered. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I received the notice of shipping that I realized the order had been placed for two hitches. I contacted your customer service and explained what happened and was told that since the order had already shipped, there was nothing that he could do. (He did state that if I refused delivery of one of the hitches I would be charged shipping both ways for the one hitch($590), I said that this did not seem fair.
by: Papa Bear - 3 Bears Family RV03/14/2023
Excellent product, instructions were clear and I was able to install without any help. Makes for a firm connection and I feel completely safe using this hitch to transport our home and family across country. We have been across country 3 times now using this hitch and I have zero complaints. Thanks e-trailer for the awesome recommendation and fast shipping.

- Is B&W Patriot Slider Compatible With Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter PlateThe B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 is not compatible with the Curt # C16220 or any other adapter. Using the Patriot will require installation of the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2506. However, this would require removal of your existing gooseneck hitch. The adapter has quite a few restrictions which are as follows: -Will not work with fifth-wheel hitches or pin boxes that rotate. -Will not work with auto-slide fifth-wheel hitches. -Will not...

Your truck, with the short bed, will use the sliding B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 where the long bed uses the fixed hitch # BWRVK3200.

And the answer to your question is an unequivocal yes, a 12,000 lb 5th wheel like your Montana High Country can absolutely be pulled using the 18,000 lb B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270.

If you have 3.73 gears it is rated for up to 7,800lbs of trailer weight or 13,000lbs combined for truck and trailer.
