Hey, everyone, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500, we're gonna be checking out the B&W Patriot 16K 5th Wheel Hitch. So when it comes to picking out a fifth wheel hitch, it's an important decision, you know, because you're gonna want something that is well-built, easy-to-use, so on and so forth. And for anything heavy-duty towing-wise, B&W is something that you really cannot go wrong with. They're one of my favorites out there, usually my go-to, to be honest. And if you're familiar at all with the towing world, chances are pretty good. more

B and W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation - 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at Etrailer and today we're taking a look at the B&W Patriot sliding fifth wheel in a 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500. Something that I recommend to every person that is towing a fifth wheel with a short bed or not a long bed truck is going to be a sliding fifth wheel. There's other ways around, you know, preventing cab corners from getting crushed, you can get a movable pin box and that's gonna help a little bit, but this is a great way, if you're having to navigate in some really tight turns, to have that ability to be able to slide this back, give you that clearance to make that turn, and then you can hit the road after that. Otherwise, you are gonna be stuck with just kind of smaller angles than normal, otherwise you run the risk of damaging your truck. So this is a nice easy way to make that short bed still be able to tow a fifth wheel with no problem. Operate the slide function super easy on here. more

Let's check it out. more

Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with S20 Slider Review - 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500- Video
Hey guys, this is Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2,500 and we're gonna be taking a look at, I'm gonna go over a few details of the Curt S20 sliding base combined with the Curt A20 fifth wheel hitch. Now when we go over all these features of this combo there is also a Curt A16 head that is available that fits just like it does in here. Everything on the head itself is going to be the same except the weight capacity is gonna be a little bit lighter. This head is gonna have a 20,000 pound capacity and the A16 is going to have a 16,000 pound capacity. And one of the biggest downfalls of hauling a fifth wheel trailer in a regular bed truck, this is a six foot eight bed truck and one of the downfalls is that you don't have enough room to turn because the nose of your camper will make contact with the cab of your truck. more

B and W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation - 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500- Video
Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2,500 and we're gonna be taking a look at, and I'm gonna show you some of the features of this BMW Patriot fifth wheel sliding hitch. Now right off the bat, what's gonna make this hitch fit perfectly in this truck is the fact that our truck is a six and three quarter foot bed. So, if you have a standard fifth wheel, those are typically gonna be best used in an eight foot bed, cuz you'll have more than enough cab clearance. That foot and a quarter extra that you get from an eight foot bed really helps to get you some cab clearance. Well, essentially that's what we're doing with this sliding hitch. more

Rob: Hey everybody. Rob here at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Curt Q20 fifth wheel hitch with our 20 slider, our 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Eight-foot beds are becoming more and more uncommon on pickup trucks. Typically, a standard truck nowadays is coming with either a six and a half or six and three quarter foot bed, which is perfectly fine. We can still have plenty of use for that size bed, but when you go to tow a fifth wheel trailer with anything less than an eight-foot bed, you realize real quickly that you lose a lot of clearance. more

Now more and more now than ever trucks seem to be getting beds that are smaller and smaller than eight feet, six and 3/4, six and 1/2. That's typically about a standard-sized bed. Now, if you ever towed a 5th wheel, you know that once you start towing with anything less than eight feet, you start to run into issues when you're making slow speed turns, especially where the front of the trailer can get extremely close to the cab, if not make contact. more

Now this is gonna allow us to tow our 5th wheel trailer down the road safely. Now, like our truck, if you ever towed with a short bed truck, you do know that going around corners with a 5th wheel trailer does get a little squirrel-y, but luckily, if we flip this lever here, we have a slider that's built in, that's gonna give us that much more extra room, and allow us to maneuver around corners with ease. Now, it's gonna slide the full 12", getting that trailer away from our cab so we don't have to worry about crushing it.Now, our Patriot is gonna have a dual jaw mechanism. Now that's gonna have a full 360 degree kingpin contact, and it's gonna be a lot more quiet than that slider style jaw, where that bar is gonna go across and make contact that way. Now, the fully articulating head is gonna reduce all that noise, and reduce chucking while you're driving down the road.We're gonna have three different height adjustments, from 17" to 19", and that's gonna be nice so you can dial in that perfect level stance when you're towing your trailer down the road. more
