Expert Reply:
The B and W Patriot 16k hitch part # BWRVK3200 you referenced is an excellent choice for you as B and W fifth wheel hitches are known to offer the smoothest and quietest ride quality when towing compared to everything else out there. This is primarily due to the jaw design that holds the trailer king pin very tightly and the cushioning present in the hitch head. This also fits your 16,000 lb capacity but if you wanted the higher rated version of this we have the # BWRVK3255 which has an 18k capacity instead.
If you know you'll stay under 16k the # BWRVK3200 is the way to go, but if you think you'll ever be over 16k the part # BWRVK3255 is what you need. These hitches are also made here in the USA and are built to last. They have a lifetime warranty as well.
