B and W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation - 2018 Ram 2500- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Patriot Sliding Fifth Wheel from B&W in a 2018 Ram 2,500 short bed. Now, B&W is one of my personal favorites when it comes to fifth wheel or goosenecks in general, the quality is awesome, and they really do have a nice product, and this is no different, and it's got a lot of nice features. In fact, one of the great things about this is you can take this head up and pull it off which seems like a small thing, but really it takes a lot of weight off. If you ever plan on taking this outta your bed, to take the whole thing out can get pretty heavy. So being able to remove a pretty to heavy section of it allows you to get this out, and you can still use your truck bed. Now this is a great option for anyone with a 6 and 1/2 foot bed, because if you're pulling a fifth wheel trailer, no problem, you'll be able to hook up. more

Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation - 2018 Ram 2500- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 RAM 2500, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Curt E16 fifth wheel trailer hitch with R16 slider, part number 16516.So here's what our E16 hitch and R16 slider looks like once we have it installed. And this is going to allow us to tow a fifth wheel trailer down the road safely. And a common issue when you're towing a fifth wheel, is that we have a lot of clearance issues if you don't have a full eight foot bed. Whenever we go to make that tight turn, there is a chance that we could make contact with our cab when we're going around a corner.Our slider's going to allow us to have 12 inches of extra clearance whenever we're going around those turns slowly. So if we come to the handle here, pull it out and we're going to turn it towards the cab of the truck and that's going to allow our hitch to slide 12 inches towards the back, giving us that much more clearance. And it will lock back into place in the maneuvering position, so we can go around that turn slowly.On the passenger side, it is going to have an indicator. more
