The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch is a lighter-weight, less expensive, rail-mounted alternative to the B&W Companion. It’s designed to give you the smoothest ride on the road. It features an effortless handle operation, thanks to the use of a cam. 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.
The Patriot jaws are machined to precisely fit your coupler so there isn’t room for sloppiness. A spring allows side-to-side movement without slamming. The whole coupler rides on polyurethane bushings that absorb roughness from the road.
The Patriot is available with a fixed base or as a slider to help you navigate tight corners with a short bed truck. Flip the lever and the Patriot slides back 12″ so you can maneuver without hitting your trailer on your cab. When you’re ready to tow, flip the lever again and the slider locks into place as you back up.
