Overview
The B&W Trailer Hitches RVR3200 is a 16K Patriot fifth wheel universal mounting rail, part number RVR3200, with UPC 843233001730. It is a universal fit rail, so it is not tied to one truck.
Confirm the rail lines up with the bed mounting points and hitch setup you plan to use before ordering, since the right choice depends on the bed layout rather than a model year.

Choosing a fifth wheel rail
A fifth wheel rail is the fixed base that a fifth wheel head locks onto in the truck bed. Because the head, rail and bed mounting points must all line up, the first step is measuring the bed and confirming how the rail attaches before anything is drilled or bolted down. Rails bolted through the bed floor or to frame-mounted points carry the trailer’s kingpin load, so the bed structure matters as much as the rail itself.
When choosing a rail, match its rating class to the heaviest trailer you tow and make sure the head you plan to use is compatible with the rail’s latch and pin system. Rails are often replaced together with the head, the locking jaws and the bed hardware, so inspect those parts as a set. Check bolts and welds after the first few tows and again at regular intervals.
- Inspect rail bolts for looseness after the first few tows
- Look for cracks around mounting holes or weld points
- Replace worn latch parts with the head they work with
