Can B and W Patriot Slider Hitch Fit 2017 Ram 2500 Short Bed
Question:
I have a Dodge Ram 2500 with 6.5 bed. Before it showed a Patriot 18k slider hitch with rails now it doesnt. Do you not carry them anymore?

Expert Reply:
We do still carry the B and W Patriot Slider hitch part # BWRVK3270 which can be used in the bed of your 2017 Ram 2500 short bed. You'd just need an above bed rail kit that fits your truck like the Curt # C16427-204. This is a different brand but it's same rail design as what the Patriot fits. We (at this time) do not have stock of the B and W rail kit which is why it's not in our fitguide.
