Swaping out a hitch question
Currently I have a Pullrite 4400 18K fifth wheel hitch. I would like to swap it out for a B&W Patriot 18K sliding hitch. Question, will the rails I have now in the bed of my truck fit the Patriot hit...

The Patriot fits standard rails. I know as I had Reese rails on last truck. B&W on current truck, oh and Patriot too.
Big problem with him having the Pullrite , most likely he does not have the standard rails, he has those Pullrite rails.
If anyone does a little research, and sees that its not a big issue if someone wants to go to Pullrite and has standard rails, then there is a Pullrite adapter to use with the 4400, or better yet go to the industry standard Superglide thats fits the standard rails, thats what a friend did. Then when he got tired of the headache of hitching , and unhitching with the Superglide, he ended all his problems with the Andersen hitch that fits the standard rails.
We all know how great the B&W is , how could we not with the fan club here, but the Andersen sure ends a lot of problems with those heavy hitches.
I know there has been some issues with the aluminum version of the Andersen, but after some redesign ,that seems to be a thing of the past, as far as the steel version, there NEVER has been as issue.
