Can a B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider Be Used with the Adapter Rails for 5th Wheel Hitches
Question:
Will the Curt adapter #c88kr work with the B+W patriot 18k slider? I have read the description that says it will not work because of clearance issues. I have also read in a reply from “ask an expert “ that it will in fact work. I would like to know if this adapter will work for my 18k patriot slider or not. If not, what is the reason? Where is the clearance issue?

Expert Reply:
While the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 will fit in the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C88KR, there is a clearance issue. The issue is that the lever/handle used to lock and unlock the slider is interfered with by the adapter rails.
However, I do have an adapter plate for your 2018 Ford F-350 that will allow you to use the B&W Patriot sliding 5th wheel hitch.
