Arrives before Christmas 
Upgrade the factory pin box on your fifth-wheel trailer to this cushioned model that dampens road shock and reduces back-and-forth chucking for a more relaxed towing experience. Unlike air bags, the internal rubber spring requires no maintenance.
Features:
Specs:
Most standard pin boxes are constructed of steel and are built with the sole purpose of connecting your fifth-wheel trailer to your tow vehicle. There is no cushioning built in, so a factory pin box doesn't do anything to provide a comfortable ride when you're hauling your fifth-wheel trailer.
This MORryde pin box, however, is built with an internal rubber spring that absorbs road shock and vibration at the connection point. So if you're driving on unpaved roads or uneven pavement, this pin box will prevent any road shock and vibration you encounter from transferring from your tow vehicle to your fifth-wheel trailer and vice versa. In other words, the rubber spring takes the brunt of the impact so you and your towing setup don't have to. And because this unit uses a rubber spring instead of an internal air bag like some other upgraded pin boxes, there's no maintenance required.
Although this pin box can tow up to 24,000 lbs, the internal rubber shear spring is optimized for trailers that range from 11,501 lbs or less. A rubber spring built for 18,000-lb trailers would be too stiff to provide any cushion for an 11,500-lb trailer, while a rubber spring built for 11,500-lb trailers would be too flexible for a 18,000-lb trailer. To get the best results from this cushioned pin box, the sweet spot is a trailer in the 11,501-lb or less range.
Chucking, the back-and-forth jerking movement you feel in your cab when towing, occurs most frequently during starts and stops and while making turns. A typical, factory pin box creates a rigid connection without much give. So when a harsh stop occurs, all of the trailer's forward momentum gets forced through that stiff connection, slamming the king pin in the hitch and jerking your truck around.
To combat this, glide pads are built into the MORryde pin box that allow the skid plate to shift up to 3" forward and backward and 1-1/2" side to side to compensate for some of that violent motion so that you don't have to feel it in your cab.
This MORryde pin box is a direct replacement for your existing Lippert 1621HD pin box, so the installation is very straightforward. After removing your old Lippert pin box, the MORryde can be mounted into place using the same hardware and bolt holes used by the factory pin box.
Because of the weight of the unit, you'll want a couple of friends to help you lift it into place during installation. Once the hardware is securely bolted down, you'll be ready to go.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a brief look together at this MORyde cushion fifth wheel pin box. Now this is going to replace your Lippert rhino pin box that you have installed on your fifth wheel trailer. And this is going to give you a much smoother ride. And the way that this is going to do that is with its internal rubber shear spring.
Now this component that attaches to your trailer is somewhat loosely connected to the component that has the kingpin here that's going to slide into your hitch. They are kind of interlocked, but they're still free moving. So that internal rubber shear spring in here is going to be dampening any motion between these two components. So you're not going to have as much of that jarring motion at your connection points as you have with your original pin box. Now this is going to help reduce that back and forth chucking that you often get when you're towing.
It's going to help dampen road shock so that any road shock that the trailer experiences isn't going to be transferred to your cab and vice versa. So this is going to be a lot more comfortable for you. You're not going to have to worry about those stop and start jerks that you normally have to deal with when you're towing. And these glide pads that you see here are go are built into this MORyde pin box to allow the skid plate to shift up to three inches forward and backward and about an inch and a half side to side to compensate for some of that violent motion so you don't feel it in your cab. Now although this pin box can tow up to 24,000 pounds, the internal rubber shear springing is optimized for trailers that range from 11,501 pounds or less GVWR, maximum loaded weight.
So to get the best results from this cushion pin box, the sweet spot is a trailer that's in the 11,501 pound or less GVWR range. Now this is going to be a bolt-on installation with the included hardware that you see there. No drilling is going to be required and the kingpin is going to sit in the same location as your kingpin, instructions are included to guide you through the installation process, but I do wanna give you a heads up that this is a very heavy item. I needed two other guys to help me get this on my table just to make sure that we we inchesre safely moving and lifting this. So you will want a a couple of friends to help you lift this into place during installation.
But once you have the the included hardware securely bolted down to spec, you're gonna be ready to go. Well, that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Upgrade the factory pin box on your fifth-wheel trailer to this cushioned model that dampens road shock and reduces back-and-forth chucking for a more relaxed towing experience. Unlike air bags, the internal rubber spring requires no maintenance.Well, upon receipt of the package ,which was all ripped up, and all the bolts,nuts and washers had came out of the bag and a rubber hole plug missing, everything else seems to be in order. I have not installed yet, therefore the 4stars.
Installation instructions were very good! It fits perfectly.
Beware when ordering a part this heavy, the shipper only delivers to the curb.
I ordered this for my Grand Design 337 5th wheel to help reduce the chucking. I will start this with the order. The Pin Box arrived in a very beat up box. After examining the unit I found that one of the bolt fins was bent about 1" inward, the carrier must have dropped this from a truck. I called E-Trailer support and spoke with a very nice gentleman who took my info and said this does happen occasionally. He set up an advance replacement and prepaid return which shipped 2 days later. The new one arrived in good shape.
I installed the unit today. I am extremely surprised how easy it went replacing the King Pin box. The MORryde box is heavy, using the bed of the truck and some 6x6's I got it the right height and really easy. I found cleaning the bit of rust the housing that the MORryde sits in and a little WD40 made this easier.
I have not connected to the hitch and pulled the camper yet but have heard great things about this unit. I have the PullRite Auto Slide hitch so I had to install the adaptor as well.
Many thinks to Etrailer for taking care the shipping issue and getting me a working unit, well done.
Entirely better experience towing, my wife and I picked up our 1st 5th wheel toyhauler camper and towing it home it started jerking back n fourth, not knowing what the hell was going on she wanted to return it. I did some research and found this Moryde cushioned pin box and it’s super smooth. We’re both very happy and feel a lot more comfortable towing places.
Ordered the Morryde pin box to replace the Rhino pin box on a 2022 Riverstone Reserve. Shipping from Etrailer was right away but had a little delay with the shipment because the semi truck could not get up my road. Taking off the Rhino pin had a little trouble as one of the bolts was cross threaded, which I have read from others also having the same issue. The Morryde came with all the hardware and with two people had it changed out in about an hour. Took it for a small drive and really seems to make a big difference, will get it out for a longer drive soon on my next trip. The new pin box went in the same position as the old one and did not change my level or bed clearance.
This kingpin box was promptly delivered after ordering. We installed the new Moryde today and it went on very easily. Although it is very heaving, I used my tractor with a front end loader to remove the old pin box and install the new which really made it very easy. I hooked up to my truck to test the level and everything was perfect. Very satisfied! Thank you etrailer.
So far this is a welcome upgrade. Took it on a short trip over some rough road that normally triggers chucking on my F-250. This pinbox prevented it which was a welcome change. I’m looking forward to some longer trips.
Installation was straightforward. Removed the old pinbox which was fairly easy. Installing the new pinbox would’ve been a challenge had my buddy not had a forklift attachment for his tractor. I don’t know the exact difference in weight between the old Lippert pinbox and the new Moryde, but it is substantially heavier. I’d say 2 people muscling and one to install the hardware would still be a challenge. Forklift or similar is the way to go. Also, the new pinbox doesn’t come with new hardware. Got to use your old or make a trip to Lowe’s/Home Depot.
All and all I’m happy with the upgrade, but I thought it was pricey and don’t like the additional weight.
MORryde makes a fantastic Pinbox! I have been a e-trailer customer many times over and always find the customer care from start to finish is great. We recently purchased a 2024 Brinkley Z3100 which came with a Rhino Pinbox.
I hated it! Lots of chucking. Our other 5th wheel a King of the Road has the MORryde on it and pulls like a dream. I had asked the dealer at time we made our new purchase about putting on the MORryde on it and I was told it could not be done.
Don’t ever take just one persons word as gospel and further looking into it, there is definitely a conversion available and thanks to the folks on my Brinkley Owners page and the folks at e-trailer, I ordered it and it is a perfect fit. Definitely takes 2 guys to put it on but I’d say its a 2-3 hour job.
Our install took us about 5 hours as one of the original bolts with the Rhino was cross threaded. Can’t wait to get out and tow with our new MORryde!! They are the best!! Thanks e-trailer for your help!
I have not installed this part on my 2021 momentum 395MSR yet, but it was received in perfect condition. I had the same pin box on my Solitude390RKR and loved the way it handled. If the part does not perform as expected once installed and after I have some miles behind it i'll update my review.
It was a nice upgrade over the solid pin box my fifth wheel had. The MORryde pin box did improve the quality of the the ride in my tow vehicle. I would recommend it as a good value for the money.
Good price and quick free delivery.
The product is so much better than the stock pin box.
Very easy install and very happy.
Dramatically reduced chucking as hoped. There is more start/stop slop than I had expected but I'm guessing that is due to my trailer being at the top of the weight rating for the rubber block. I need to put a camera on it to verify my theory. All in all a huge improvement.
Installed this MORryde cushioned pin box on a 20K# toyhauler(from a solid pin). Comparing 9K miles before and 11K miles after, it made a remarkable improvement in the ride, especially on choppy, rough roads (think I-40 across New Mexico). Easy bolt-on installation. I consulted with the staff @ etrailer.com to ensure the correct hitch model was selected. Shipping was straight forward via truck freight. Excellent communication through the process.
This MORryde pin box eliminated our chucking, which is precisely why I bought it. It also smooths out passing over bridge joints, potholes, etc. Definitely recommend.
I received my order in a timely manner. Three or four days after submitting it. It was delivered by truck in a sturdy box strapped on a pallet. No damage to the box or contents. Installation was a breeze. Fitmant was perfect. Upon test driving after installation I was happy with the performance of the rubber pin box. Works as advertised.
Product was received as expected. Installation went very well. I am eager to try it out this week on the road!
This cushioned pin box is definitely worth the upgrade. Chucking is greatly reduced (There's no getting totally away from it) and the frequency of the chucking is tempered making the ride much more pleasant. There are times when you forget your towing it's so smooth on decent stretches of road. Delivery was quick (3 days early as a matter of fact) and driver dropped it in my garage. Plus the fitment was perfect, bolted on with no problem. Entire experience was good !!
just had it installed works great and looks good
Probably the single best addition to my fifth wheel. We have a grand design solitude 2930. Connecting to the trailer is so much softer and taking off from stops is smoother. The chucking is all be gone. I’d highly recommend this as one of the first upgrades
Not a very good ride, a lot of chucking sensation.. Should have kept my Rhino pin box.
Delivered in 3 days, etrailer is awesome. Pin box fit perfect, thanks Etrailer!
This is an excellent pinbox and hopefully I’m saving some wear and tear on my trailer. We have a Superglide auto slide hitch and the Morryde adapter sure beats the capture plate I had before. No more chancing a broken foot when it accidentally falls off.
This pin boxed help the jerking motion back and forth about 80%. That's pretty good in my eyes. Service was great shipping not too bad easy install a little heavy takes two people. Much better than the rhino pin box
After talking to your customer support staff and picking out the right pin box, I ordered it the next day on line. Shipping was fast and it arrived in good shape. The Pin box came with all the bolts and Hardware, it took about an hour to install on my 2024 Momentum M class RV. I took it for a 2-hour road trip and you cannot believe the difference in the ride. I am never disappointed when I deal with etrailer.
Fit perfect on my Grand Design Reflection 303RLS. Will be taking a long trip very soon and will let you know how it performs.
