Will the B&W Patriot Fit on Curt Base Rails on a 2016 Ford F-150 Short Bed
Question:
I have a 2016 Ford F-150 short bed 5 1/2 with a CURT 16442 Fifth Wheel Custom Bracket Kit. Will BWRVK3255 fit on my bracket? Thanks,

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes. The B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 is designed to fit on industry standard base rail kits like the ones created by your Curt # C16442-204 installation kit on your 2016 Ford F-150. If you don't have a rotating turret on your 5th wheel king pin you may need a sliding hitch like the B&W Patriot Slider # BWRVK3270, which is the same as the # BWRVK3255 only with a slider base instead of a fixed base.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out, but either of these combos will work just fine.
