Hello, neighbors, this is Brad here at "etrailer," and today, we're taking a look at the BMW Patriot replacement head assembly for the Patriot fifth wheel. Now whether you're replacing a damaged head that you had on your Patriot, or you just wanna refresh what you currently have, or even if you have a bunch of trucks in the fleet, and don't wanna buy the whole assembly, you can simply swap this head back and forth to each vehicle, and having that replacement head is a great option. That way you're not having to buy the full fifth wheel kit. Now it's gonna have all the same functions as the previous Patriot head that you had. So you still have that locking jaw, you still have that nice handles to drop it in place. It goes around those urethane bushings, and overall, just a great head.
If you've ever used a Patriot before, you know right away that it's really great to use. It's super easy and it articulates enough. So even on unlevel ground hooking up or unhooking is no problem. And just as you did before to drop your new head on, it's gonna go on just like you had your previous fifth wheel. (metal clanking) Just right there.
Drop in place, pull your handle back, hook up to your kingpin, and you're ready to go. Now this is gonna be a perfect replacement for the 18K that we have here, as well as your sliding 18K and also the 16K. Now as you've probably seen before, BMW has that nice gray powder coat finish, and it feels durable and feels great. All the touchpoints are really nice on here. And your cam-actuating handle here is really nice for that jaw.
It's gonna cut down on rattling around as like your slide pin normally would. And it also has that nice security, the fact that it goes all the way around that kingpin. Now this is rated at 18,000 pounds, so again, it's a direct replacement for this one here. But if you have a 16,000 base, just because this is rated at 18,000, you're gonna want to go with that lower number just to stay safe. You also have that vertical limit or load of 4,500 pounds.
And that was a look at the BMW replacement head assembly for the Patriot fifth wheel.

Replacement head fits B&W Patriot 18,000-lb fifth-wheel trailer hitches. Two-piece jaw provides great jaw-to-king-pin contact. Fully articulating design eases hookup on unlevel ground.Really liked the service and follow through from etrailer. Had an issue with the first head assembly, that made us replace it. Great hitch, sturdy, well built. Would buy it again
Love etrailer, long ship cycle But free shipping on a 300lb hitch
Everything went smoothly. Delivered on time. Installed okay. I had a reese fifth wheel previously. Rail holes were already in my truck bed, which was that much less work to do. Everything setup perfectly. I now have a strong 18K hitch I can count on. Thank You.
Very nice hitch, pulled the 5th wheel g reat.
Built solid and operates smoothly!!
Seems like a good hitch
Hitch is amazing
I don't know yet I have only received one part of the hitch.
Fast and easy. Just like Chad’s mom.
Excellent design and construction!

Working great!
Fast delivery. Was expecting next Monday. Received this Wednesday.
Thanks for getting it here when you said and it was in good shape
This B&W hitch was an excellent choice. In my opinion it is far superior to other brands. On other brands you should do a “tug test” to ensure your trailer is locked in but that’s not necessary with a B&W. Once the hitch jaws lock around the pin, it’s locked! I highly recommend this hitch or any other size B&W hitch.
Great products,fair prices. My last order was a replacement fifthwheel hitch part,l order it next day UPS it was second day air they gave some refund. Thanks etrailer
I think B&W hitches are of excellent quality and are easy and simple to operate.This is a replacement for another brand that gave me frustrations every time I tryed to hitch up.
Excellent customer service. Quick order and delivery . Hitch came 2 days earlier than expected. Very knowledgeable about my requirements and delivered exactly what I required.
Will use them for all my future needs re my 5th wheel.
Thanks you,

Trailer is 9000 lbs. Hitch works great for this application. Light enough to lift in and out of the truck by myself. I would buy again.
Fair price, and very fast, free deliver y.
