Can B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used with Sidewinder Pin Box
Question:
Is it safe to use a patriot 18k with a 16k Reese sidewinder on my Nissan Titan shortbed. If so what kind of wedge should I use?

Yes, the B&W Patriot 18K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 is compatible and perfectly safe to use with the Reese Sidewinder Pin Box. The correct custom wedge to use is the part # SWW-06. This is what will prevent the king pin from pivoting at the hitch.
I have attached a couple short video reviews that you can check out as well.
