B&W Patriot 16K 5th Wheel Hitch Compatibility With A 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Question:

Hello and Happy New Year! I had my truck stolen 4 months ago, I bought a 2015 F250, 6.7 diesel. Now Im in the market for a 5th wheel hitch that can tow my 2004 35 Alfa. Weight is 13k lbs., and Im looking at the BandW 16k hitch, with the accessories to have it installed. Can you advise whether this is the hitch to purchase please? Thank you,

If your 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty has an 8' bed the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000lbs # BWRVK3200 with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2401 would be a perfect fit.

If you have a 6-1/2' bed then you would want the sliding version of this hitch instead, # BWRVK3270.

B&W hitches are American made and are known for their quality so you can rest assured that you're making the right choice. The 3/4" thick dual jaws provide 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact for less rattle and more security than slide-bar jaws. The fully articulating head pivots front-to-back and side-to-side to ease hookup and help to limit chucking.

These hitches have 4" of front-to-back adjustment for improved cab clearance as well as 4 height settings to keep your trailer level while towing.

I've attached some videos below that go over the functioning of these hitches and the installation.
