Hi, I'm currently looking to replace my current hitch and am looking at the Patriot hitch 16K. Does anyone else currently use this hitch? If so, what is your opinion?
I might also consider a Curt A16. Any advice on this would be appreciated too.

I might also consider a Curt A16. Any advice on this would be appreciated too. G I'm a B&W guy and won't have another one. I have their Turnover Ball GN hitch (yes, I have a GN trailer) and the old-style Companion FW hitch. Great hitch and great company to deal with. Edit: I meant that I won't have any other hitch than B&W. Lyle |

I had Reese, Husky, and now the B&W and I'm another won't use anything else. No more fighting and yanking the handle to get the jaws to release, it's now a one handed job just slide it forward and drive away.

I went to the Hershey RV show last fall, prior to buying our trailer.
3 out 5 people I spoke with said only get a B and W. I found a used Companion on face book marketplace that fit the Ford puck system, for about 40% of retail.
That being said, I was ready to spend the full amount. So far it has been flawless.
This is my first fifth wheel, and after 6 months I have no regrets with the hitch.
Just my observation

Thanks again!

I have a Hensley Trailer Saver BD-3 18k air ride hitch (the name says it all). It was rated for 20 k, but for marketing purposes, it was re rated to 18k with a 3k pin weight (formerly rated at 4K) ... for the same reasons. It is pricey, but worth it.

I've got the Curt Q-16 (now branded A-16) going on five + years now, no issues at all. Many many miles. Buy what you will be happy with and suits your needs. Happy Campin....

Q-16 in a Ram 2500 with the puck system. It really is a nice setup, and priced fair. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again, but if I got a B&W I'm sure I'd be happy as well! |

I've also used Curt & Reese - no comparison. American made and great customer service. Al |

I have B&W Companion slider. Have 61/2 foot bed and while my 96" trailer does not contact cab on flat ground it might if on uneven ground. I like the slider if I need to back in tight places it sure turns a lot quicker just drop the tailgate and pull the lever. Used to not have drop tail gate but dropped the hitch height to try to level my trailer more as I have 4WD 2500. Pick is with it dropped two holes.
