Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Lippert 1716 5th wheel pin box. This has a 15,500 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this pin box will serve as a director placement for the worn or damaged Lippert 1716 pin box that comes on your 5th wheel trailer. The king pin right down here is what'll connect to any 5th wheel trailer hitch.
This is a durable steel construction. You can see this has a nice, black powder coat finish over it to resist rust and corrosion. And it is a bolt-on installation. It will attach to your trailer frame using your existing hardware and it'll bolt into place along the three rows of bolt holes. Now, one thing I do wanna mention is you wanna make note of the bolt hole locations of the factory installed pin box because you do wanna mount this pin box in the same hole settings using the factory hardware.
Also, because of the weight of this unit, which is right around 99 pounds, you do wanna have a friend nearby to help you lift it into place during installation. This part is made in the USA. And again, the weight capacity on this is 15,500 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Lippert 1716 5th wheel pin box with the 15,500 pound gross towing weight capacity..

Hitch king pin box was a perfect fit and installed easily. I just finished hauling the trailer with it on a 5000 mile trip and it worked flawlessly.
fit my 2009 cyclone toy hauler perfect.
My pinbox was delivered in two days and JT took alot of time working with me to make sure to pick the exact matching pinbox that I have on my trailer. I am very happy and would definitely recommend etrailer for you RV needs...

My original king pin failed so with the help of etrailer's (Stacey A) amazing customer service we found an exact replacement. It was easy to install with instructions and girl power!! Thanks etrailer for your help.
Very good experience. Fast, easy to use web site. Product delivered as promised. I will be using Etrailer again.
I am very thankful. Thank you so much! The shipping was very fast ..
Appears to be able to meet my needs. The unit arrived as schedule however the shipping box was damaged which was no fault of ETrailer but rather the shipper. Will be installing next week.
Looks good and like the additional support plates with it.
It fit perfectly. Identical tot the old one.

I ordered it due to a mishap on my original pinbox being damaged. It fit perfect and had no issues. Not only did they have it in stock they are the cheapest around and free shipping. Will definitely be a loyal customer for all my trailer needs.
Everyone at etrailer did excellent work to get me the right pin box for my 5th wheel they have my business from now on
because of the way it was packed or miss handled by ups people the box broke /was distroyed delaying delivery of the item and slight damage to the item which i will repair as i need to complete the install.

the box worked great, it was for a new concession trailer. , right after i installed it i had health issues an have ot untoll mow recovered enough to finish trailer which i am now doing.
For those of you who, like me, may have purchased a truck with the under the bed rail system for your fifth wheel you know the positioning of the rail system is set in front of the rear axle instead of directly above the axle making the distance between the cab and trailer that much closer. This can cause a problem hooking up with your tail gate in the down position if you have a medium length pin box on your trailer. etrailer has a great chart online to help you determine what kind of pin box you have and if there is another one manufactured that will fit in the same place. This longer pin box for me was a great economical, safe solution. The Lippert 1716 long box is a direct replacement for the Lippert 1116 medium box, but is seven inches longer giving me the needed distance to hook up.
This Pin box bolted directly into the camper pin box mounting plate. Best of all the longer pin box added more than enough length to the system to allow the our 5th wheel to be connect to the truck with the tailgate in the lowered position.
The only negative is that the description of the item stated that the pin box is powdered coated to prevent rusting. The item came with plastic wrap on it and the powder has multiple areas where the paint was chipped.

Hey Nate! Glad to hear it's working well for you though I am sorry that it arrived a little dinged up like that. Let me see what I can do about the damaged paint. We will be in touch!

Just what I needed to pull by 5th wheel with my short bed Dodge and a Pull Rite sliding hitch. The folks a etraer were very helpful ensuring I got the right product.
