Does B&W Patriot Slider Come in 20K or 25K Weight Capacity
Question:
I have rails mounted in my 2016 F-350 super duty truck with a 16K Reese hitch. Is there a BandW Slider 20K or 25K that would mount on the existing rails.

There is a B&W sliding hitch that fits on industry standard base rails - the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270. This is rated for 18K though so if you need something rated higher for use with your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty then I recommend going with the 21K Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550035 as a premium option, or the 20K Curt A20 # C16541 slider as more of a cost-effective option that doesn't sacrifice quality.
I really like the Hijacker because of the autosliding feature which means you can stay in the comfort of your cab while making your tight turns. Both the Hijacker and the A20 feature cushioning in the head and a jaw system that completely wraps around the king pin which gives you great ride quality.
