B&W Patriot 18K

This may be a dumb question...but I honestly don't know the answer...

Are rails "standardized?" What I'm asking is, would a B&W hitch fit in my Reese (pro series) rails?

the 18K is $649-$799 depending on where you buy it.

Me too.. the 18k base is another $350. my FW is 15,600 loaded if all the tanks are full (never), so I don't 'need' the 2k extra capacity.

How much more $ or how much better?

I put a B&W in last year, but the puck system. Could not believe how much it was over the other 4 brands I have used.

There are a lot of haters out there just for the simple fact that there are so many people that say B&W is the only way to go.

We bought our 16k Patriot last spring and never looked back. It is worlds above and beyond my 16k Curt. I am now one of those lovers, and will never buy anything else if the need should ever arise again.

We have a 16K Patriot. Very good hitch. You can't go wrong with B&W they are the Cadillac of Hitches.

Great looking hitch.
