Most Popular Lippert 1716 for 2020 Ram 2500

Parts where on back order per information given by my 2 other vendors etrailer had it in stock and arrived on time before original ETA As a owner of a small business etrailer is great to work with and always helpful.

Sidewinder worked great for my short bed Ram. Be sure to get the matching wedge for your hitch. Thanks etrailer. I will be using you for all my trailer components

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.

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.

New hitch box arrived this afternoon and within 2 hrs already installed, ordered on Sunday night and received it Thursday afternoon. I greatly appreciate the prompt service and will be doing business with you again in the near future. Thank you
