Beefy rails

Installed B&W rails and brackets today for the B&W Patriot hitch. WOW talk about some beefy rails!!! Compared to old rails we had, these seem a whole lot more stout and heft to them. Still amazes me though that just 4 bolts hold the brackets on and still yank 16,000-20,000+ pounds behind it!!

That must be why it takes a crane to remove them to use your truck for what it was design for.


HA you must be a "light weight" ANDERSEN user. I have no issue removing my RVK3600 by my self. BTW I'm nearly 61.

ACZL, I agree with you. We put in the B&W Patriot 16K hitch too. Very nice hitch!
