Quiet, Secure Ride

The 3/4" thick jaw on the Patriot is precision machined to provide a tight, sturdy connection. And unlike slide-bar models, the rounded 2-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.


In addition to the sturdy jaw, the Patriot has durable polyurethane bushings built in to provide a smoother, more comfortable towing experience. These bushings sit on top of the pivot arms that support the fifth-wheel head. Because the head is resting on padded area, it is able to pivot without clanking. The ability of the head to pivot - both front to back and side to side - along with the trailer also helps to limit the chucking that may occur with a more static hitch.


Non-Binding Latch Handle

The dual jaw on the Patriot is operated by a simple-to-use cam-action handle. This handle allows you to quickly and easily release the jaws on the hitch, even if you are on uneven terrain. If any binding does occur between your truck and trailer, the jaws may remain closed after you move the handle to the open position. But because the handle is unlatched, there is nothing keeping the jaws closed except for the binding pressure. Therefore, simply driving your truck forward will be enough to force the jaws to open.


The cam-action handle is held in the closed position with the included pin and clip. For extra security, you can replace the pin with a sturdy padlock. The shackle on the lock you choose should have a diameter of 5/16", height of 3", and a width of 2-1/4".


Easily Adjustable Design

The B&W Patriot can be adjusted front to back as well as up and down for optimal positioning. As a result, this hitch can accommodate the height of your trailer and also help to give you the cab clearance needed to execute turns while towing.


Patriot Hitch Arm Positioning Diagram

To adjust either the height of the Patriot or the fore/aft positioning, just attach the hitch's pivot arms in the desired location on the base. The above diagram gives an indication of where to mount the arms so that you get the height and the cab clearance that you need.

Video Transcript for What to Know About the B and W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the BMW Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for fifth wheel trailer hitches. This is going to allow you to mount your fifth wheel trailer hitch into your truck. It's going to be an above-bed design, that means that the base rail is going to sit above the bed, and it will take up a little bit of space in that truck bed since they are permanently mounted. We'll have the two base rails that will come with our kit, along with the four angle brackets that are going to attach to our frame. We're going to have the shorter two that are go towards the rear of the vehicle, while the longer two will go towards the cab or the front of the vehicle.This is a universal mount, so there will be some drilling required with this. It should work for most applications even if you have an older truck, a flatbed track, anything like that, as well as newer trucks as well.

With those later model vehicles you might need an additional bracket kit, which is sold separately. You can find those here at etrailer.com. That's going to be a really good option to reduce the amount of drilling that you'll probably have to do with this. You can check those out. The easiest way to find the right one for you is to go through our fit guide at etrailer.com.

Enter your year, make and model and go from there.Again, this does come with the two base rails, the four angle brackets, and all the hardware to get this installed, along with the two fish wires and a set of instructions. The base rails themselves are going to be made of a really nice sturdy steel construction with a thick powder coat finish. One of the things that i like the best about BMW is they have a really nice fit and finish. There's no weld splatter on this. It's just a really nice, durable thick powder coat as well.

It's just a nice looking kit to go into your truck.Another nice thing about BMW is that all of their rails are made in the USA. As far as the dimensions on this, the rail is going to measure 43 inches long by five and three-quarter inches wide. This is going to be compatible with the BMW Patriot, of course, along with the Curt, Draw Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley above bed fifth wheel hitches. Basically anything that is a standard fifth wheel hitch should work with these rails.That's going to do it for our look at the BMW Universal Base Rail and Installation Kit for fifth wheel trailer hitches.


by:

This 5th wheel has exceeded all my expectations. It’s worked flawlessly for thousands of miles and many different type of 5th wheels trailers. Not a peep, B&W FTW!!



by:

So far this has been a great hitch. Takes up a lot less space than the massive auto slider hitch that I had previously, and have had no problem with any sharp turns so far. It is also much easier to handle by myself taking it out of the truck. The only thing I’ve had some problems with is getting the handle lock pin out once I’m ready to disconnect. To solve, I’ve started wedging the flat part of my crowbar under the head of the pin and tapping it with a rubber mallet from underneath.



by:

Love this hitch, very solid! Pretty light weight, easy to get in and out when I need to use the full truck bed. Easy height adjustment to get my 5th wheel riding level when towing.



by:

Very please with the quality and quick shipping. The only negative I have is the bolt would not go through one hole ( I suspect too much powder coating) but was an easy fix.



by:

I did my research on this hitch and was convinced it was the one I wanted yet I still felt the need to get some input from the pros, 2 phone calls (one to E-trailer and one to B&W) and I came away with peace of mind that the B&W was the right one for me. Best of all they did not try to up sell me to the 22k hitch two rv dealers tried to tell me I would need to safely pull the 16,500 gvwr 5th wheel I was in the process of buying. The hitch was reasonably priced, arrived in a timely manner in good condition and installation was straight forward. Bottom line I couldn’t be happier with my B&W hitch but most of all my decision to buy it from etrailer



by:

We received the hitch and brackets packaged very well. The installation went well and pretty straight forward.
We did not have our 5th wheel to set the height but took a lucky guess at 18". We picked the RV up and couldn't be happier with this hitch. Absolutely no chucking, very smooth ride. We have an uneven slope to back down to get to our RV pad and were concerned about that. With the swivel on this hitch, backed with no problem. We wouldn't settle for any other hitch if we have to ever buy another one.
The RV sales and service people were very impressed with this hitch and the way it is set up with the frame brackets.

Very happy customers!



by:

This hitch is amazing. I replaced an older Reese hitch. With my old hitch there was constant shucking and could feel the trailer pushing the truck while stopping. There is no more shucking and you can “barely tell” there’s a trailer behind me anymore. The coupling and uncoupling with the cam action lever is extremely simple!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HITCH



by:

I just got it installed looking forward to connecting the trailer. But, the trailer is in the shop! I spent a lot time evaluating hitches and decided on the B&W Patriot 18K. I would like to better packing for shipping, the finish on the hitch got damaged.



by:

Looks to be well built. Just finished putting it together. Good instructions and all the parts were there. Can't wait to try it.



by:

Haven't had a chance to tow with it yet, but everything bolted right up and it was pretty easy to install. Looks like a really nice hitch and love the fact that it's American made.



by:

Very pleased with my purchase of the Patriot 18k fifth wheel. It arrived on the day promised. Assembly and installation was simple. Product looks great.



by:

Product is well built and painted, spent 10 months with it about a block from the gulf of Mexico in the bed of my truck 24/7 and the paint hasn't faded, no parts have rusted or anything. Very impressed with build and paint quality. It also pulls smoother, and dampens a lot more than my Reese 5er did on rough roads. The Reese also began rusting and paint flaking 3 months after purchase and spent it's time in Oklahoma where the weather wasn't too harsh in comparison to the ocean air the B&W experienced in Texas. 10/10 B&W.



by:

The product is working great and doing its job. If I ever need another I would get from you guys for sure.



by:

I have always had bumper pull RVs. This is my first 5th wheel and 5th wheel hitch. It took approx 5-1/2 hrs to install the rails, hitch, and 7-way extension on a '17 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel with Ramboxs. I love the construction and the "feel" of the hitch. Directions were easy to follow. I get the trailer in a couple days, so no comment on towing, but I am not anticipating any complications. Looking forward to using this hitch for years to come.



by:

We really enjoy the peace of mind this hitch provides. It is secure both in the truck and hitched to our 5th wheel. As it is heavy to install and remove so that we can use our truck when not towing, we installed a hydraulic lift in our garage to lift it out and onto a cart we push to the side for storage until next time. The lift puts it back up into the truck. It's so easy to have this sturdy hitch!



by:

Easy to set up. Easy to break down. Works well. I recommend.



by:

Hitch arrived on time and good packaging. It took maybe 45 minutes to assemble, very easy. It would have taken less time but the bolt holes are so precise that the paint made the bolts so tight that you had to run them through with a socket but rather that than to big.



by:

Purchased B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch from etrailer a year ago. Received the hitch right away without any problems. etrailer.com was easy to purchase from. We were first time buyers on a 5th wheel. Had been using a new competitors hitch we bought from our dealership. Worse purchase ever. The competitor had just gotten into the 5th wheel hitch part recently. Went through 5 heads we received from the competitor and the hitch still did not work right. It would take us half an hour to an hour to hook up or unhook. Decided to take loss on hitch and buy a B &W hitch. The B & W hitch was awesome. Hooks up and unhooks in minutes. It is so easy. Would recommend B &W and etrailer anytime. The price from etrailer was great and was the cheapest price I could find anywhere. If I could have, I would have given B & W and etrailer 10 stars for the review.



by:

Love this. So much easier to hook up than with the Reese I used to have. It's also much easier to take in and out of the truck bed.



by:

This Trailer Hitch looks awesome. I really like the fact that if the jaws do not open when the handle is pulled back moving the vehicle slightly will open the jaws. My old CURT hitch (also a good hitch) jaws would not open if on uneven ground or with tension on the jaws. Also, the two part design HAS SAVE MY BACK! I do not like to readily admit this, but I'm getting old, and my old one piece 5th wheel hitch was back breaking lifting into a bed of my Chevy 3500HD long bed.



by:

This was my first fifth wheel hitch that I have ever used or installed on my truck. It was recommended to me by other RV folks that have fifth wheels. The price for the hitch was very competitive. The customer service and support line was extremely helpful. The hitch is very easy to put in and take out of the truck. It is also very easy to hook up to my fifth wheel. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a hitch to purchase one like this because it’s easy to use and works great. They also followed up several weeks after I had it installed to make sure I had no issues and everything was working as it should. Great customer service.



by:

B&W quality is hard to beat. AN excellent constructed and crafted hitch.



by:

Installed in 2017 Silverado 3500HD.



by:

Love this new hitch! Very high quality and easy to operate. This was mounted in our Ford Ford F-350 6.7L Powerstroke. The hitch accommodates our current fifth wheel, and will allow for upgrades in the future. Very satisfied.



by:

B&W Hitch is very well built and easy to latch and unlatch compared to other hitchs.

  • Can I Use A Curt A20 With A Reese Sidewinder On A Ram Truck With The Rambox
    Hey Jay. It sounds like you are on the right track here because a sidewinder pin box will be your only option for pulling your 5th wheel since you have a short bed truck with the Rambox. That said, you are right that the Reese Sidewinder cannot be used with the Curt A20 5th wheel hitches. So, you would either need to use a different hitch like a B&W # BWRVK3255 or find a different compatible sidewinder. Using a B&W hitch is what I recommend since the Reese sidewinder is the only aftermarket...

  • Determining Fifth Wheel Turning Clearance
    I can certainly help shed some light on the situation. I also am not aware of any app that calculates turning clearance. If only it were so easy right? If you have the option to purchase a long bed truck, that would be preferred. That way you will never have to worry about clearance. Also, GMC offers an OEM 5th wheel prep package, which would make your life a lot easier. Otherwise you will need to install a rail kit like the # BWRVK2505. The official answer is- "it depends".

    Yes, you're in need of the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # RP30154, which fits the the puck system in the bed of your 2022 Ram 2500 and accepts ISR hitches like your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270. Note: This adapter will raise the height of you hitch 2" so you will want to lower the hitch head to keep your trailer level while you tow.

The Patriot Head # BWRVC3200 is only compatible with the Patriot line and not the Companion.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For A 2016 Ram 2500 With Ram Boxes
    Since you have Ram boxes the pivot point for your trailer needs to be at the back on the pin box otherwise it could potentially hit the Ram boxes when making a turn. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600 would work if you have the OEM puck system built into the bed. If not then you'll need to use the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 and some base rails # BWRVK2602 in order to mount the hitch to the truck. If your trailer doesn't already...

  • Troubleshooting Stuck Jaws on Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
    Thank you for all of the information regarding your Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16265 being stuck on your 5th wheel trailer. It sounds like you've got 2 things going on here; the first is that the jaws are binding, and the second is that the orbital pad has been broken. Binding happens when the truck and trailer are parked on an uneven surface and the king pin sits at a weird angle to the jaws and everything gets stuck. The only way to remedy this is to either hook your truck...

If you bought a trailer secondhand and didn't have the wedge kit with it or switch hitches somewhat routinely then this would be the best option for you.

  • Can I Use the B&W Patriot w/ a Reese Sidewinder Pin Box?
    The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 works great with a rotating pin box. B&W makes some of the best hitches in the towing business and I highly recommend them. The Patriot has a 18,000 lbs capacity and its dual jaws provide 360 degree contact for safety and comfort. The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 does mount to industry standard rails.

    Yes, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 will attach directly to the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099. Do understand the rail adapter will add 1-3/8" of height to the hitch giving you a height range of 17-3/8" to 20-3/8" from your truck bed mounting points on your 2024 Ram 2500.

    Hello Steve. I see that you ordered the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270. What you ordered is the hitch only and does not include an install/rail kit.

  • Solution For Old Reese Elite 5th Wheel Hitch That Chucks And It Difficult To Release
    Hello Bill. 5th wheel hitch technology has come a long way in the last several years. If you are using an old hitch, it is definitely not uncommon to have issues like this. Most older hitches, and even some new lower-end hitches will chuck quite a bit. Not necessarily a bad design, but the design is dated/obsolete.

  • Fifth Wheel Towing with 2016 Ram 3500 Equipped with Ram Boxes
    The problem isn't with the hitch fitting, the problems are that the 5th wheel's pin box strikes the sides of the bed during turns. The only way a fifth wheel hitch can be used in a Ram Box equipped truck would be to use a Reese Sidewinder. The sidewinder moves the pivot between the trailer and the hitch from where the king pin and hitch jaws meet to where the pin box attaches to the 5th wheel. This moves the pivot point 22 inches rearward, preventing the pin box from hitting the sides of...

That said, I understand you are looking for a kit which does not use L-brackets like the above but the problem is that they don't offer a kit for the truck above with the one-piece side plates which I think it what you are after. The kits which contain one-piece side plates are custom install kits...

    Hello Henry, thanks for reaching out. Both of the ladder racks you mentioned, the Thule T-Rac Pro2 # TH37005XT-EX and the Thule TracRac TracONE # TH27000XT-XK4EX, are fits for your 2016 Toyota Tacoma.

The T-Rac also has side cleats attached to the uprights for an additional tie down point. The TracRac does not have side cleats. Aside from...

  • Do Loadstar ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Tires Need To Be Balanced
    Hello Kirk, the Loadstar ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Tires # KE92JR you ordered do not need to be balanced. Trailer wheels and tires are designed to support the load on the trailer, not provide a smooth ride for passengers. However, it won't hurt to balance them if you still want to. I recommend using the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA66VR to make it easy and you will need one for each tire.

  • Availability of Adapter for Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist On Round Tube Trailer
    Hello Pj; we do not have an adapter for the Gorilla-Lift # GL1. However, as you can see in the picture below an adapter is not necessary for installation. This lift assist is perfectly compatible with round tube trailers as is. The only exception is if the tubing is larger than 2" in diameter. If your tubing is that large you will need longer mounting bolts or you can spot-weld on the side rails.

  • Does The ProPride Weight Distribution Hitch Use A Standard WD Shank?
    Hello Robert, that is a great question. The ProPride Weight Distribution Hitch # PR47QR uses its own unique shank, so this will not be compatible with the Gen-Y torsion attachment from the WD hitch. The ProPride hitch uses a two-piece shank system, and you will need to use the shank that comes with the ProPride hitch. The ProPride hitch is pricey, but it truly is in a class of its own as far as sway control and enhanced ride quality.
