The B&W RVK3270 Patriot Slider is an 18,000-pound sliding fifth wheel hitch for short-bed trucks. It mounts to industry-standard rails and slides backward during tight turns to prevent cab contact.
Short-bed trucks and fifth wheel trailers can collide during sharp turns. The slider moves backward to create clearance when you turn tight, then slides forward again when you straighten out.
The Patriot line offers B&W quality at a more accessible price point. The hitch head pivots to handle bumps smoothly, and the jaw mechanism provides secure kingpin engagement.
B&W makes this hitch in the USA with solid steel construction. The 18,000-pound rating handles mid-size fifth wheel trailers.
