Product Description
B&W Towing | Patriot Fifth Wheel Hitch | Universal | Rail Mounted, Hitch only, Rails and Mounting Brackets Are Sold Separately. Optional 16,000 Pound or 18,000 Pound Towing Capacity, Optional Slider Base For Short Bed Trucks
The industry leading rail mounted Patriot Fifth Wheel Hitch is designed to fit most industry standard rails. Pin the base into the rails, set the coupler on the upright arms and secure. Its that simple and your ready to tow.
The Patriot handle operates effortlessly and never leaves you in a bind. Thanks to the use of a Cam locking design. When the handle is open the cam moves out of the way allowing the jaws to open, when you pull away and uncouple. When the handle is closed the cam prevents the jaws from opening, preventing accidental release scenario.
The Patriot Fifth Wheel Hitch is machined to precisely fit your coupler, so their is no room for sloppiness while towing. The Shock absorber allows side to side movements without slamming and the whole coupler rides on polyurethane bushings that absorb roughness from the road and terrain.
To create an option to adjust for both height and distance, the Patriot offers a series of holes in the base that gives you control over both. Switching the the slanted arms from one side to the other can offer a further increase in distance. You can also select the optional Patriot Slider that will help short bed trucks navigate tighter corners. With a quick flip of the lever and the Patriot unlocks to allow for an additional 12 inches of travel so your can maneuver without getting the trailer into the cab of your truck. Flip the level back into the original position and the Patriot will lock back into place as you back up and you'll be ready to tow again.
