Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1621 - 16,000 lbs
I received the Goose Box 10 days after ordering it. I thought this would be an out-of-the-box bolt up installation. However, a crossmember support on my 2022 Cougar 23MLS prevented the Goose Box from lining up properly. The frame on this fifth wheel is a Lippert 1621. I was disappointed that I had to remove some material from the crossmember support to allow the Goose Box to be installed. I can't believe that etrailer or Reese have never encountered this issue? I did watch an online installation video, but no written instructions came with it.
Fast delivery. Easy install. A HUGE difference from the original 5th wheel. This takes out the bucking and chugging. It’s like pulling an entirely different unit. I wish I had changed sooner.

Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1716 - 16,000 lbs
My trailer hauls amazing. No lurching, stops are smooth, looks amazing and no ugly receiver. I did receive this hitch with the locking pin installed 180 degrees off. So it would not lower on to my ball. I quickly removed it and rotated it so that the slot was facing appropriately. I don’t think this is a reason to rate this anything less than a 5 star. Happy customer and will always use them!
Congratulations to the person packaging the hitch, very well done. The reason I gave four stars instead of five is related to the hitch itself not Etrailer. The air connection is in an awkward position. you have to lay on your back in the bed of the pickup to get at it and then a standard air wouldn't work. I put an extention on it to solve the problem.

Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1621/1621HD - 30K GTW - 4.5K TW
William was great. The actual sales part of this was beyond excellent I received my Gen-y in only a couple of days and my son and I easily installed the hitch on the trailer in less than an hour and a half. We used a floor jack to support it after we hitched it to the goofball in the truck and then backed up into the trailer pocket and then used the hydraulic jacks on the trailer to get it in perfect position and bolted it down.
The Gen-Y hitch is very stout & well built. Fit & finish was excellent. Installed myself in about 30 minutes.

Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - 20,000 lbs
The Reese Goose box (94920) arrived earlier than promised when I ordered it from etrailer.com. It was brand new in a sealed box. I mention this because many vendors like to pass around "returned" items as new so I'm very happy it arrived in "new" condition sealed in the manufacturer's container and not a torn/opened and resealed box. I had contacted etrailer.com customer support prior to placing the order to make sure I was getting the right equipment for my specific situation, as well as to consider any alternatives. They were extremely helpful and seemed to provide one-on-one support through the shopping, ordering, and shipping phases. The hitch has not been installed on the 5th wheel yet, but I will update this review after it's been in use for a few months so this review reflects how well the product performs and how it holds up.
AMY I love the Reese goose box because it gives the bed of your truck back to you without having to unload that heavy hitch every time my question to you is if my camper GVW is only 15,500 why did I need a 20k goose box does Reese not make a 16k goose box for that model this is the model you guys told me to get. I have the same goose box on my other Cardinal and it's a 16k but different Lippert hitch on trailer.

Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1116/1716 - 30K GTW - 4.5K TW
Installed myself on 3322 Attitude 5th Wheel so far so good. It’s hard to tell if I’m getting a better ride but I have had no issues so far I feel like it’s harder to connect to gooseneck because you have to be more accurate when you back up the truck, but The hitch itself is working perfectly as described and no issues on the install either. I would purchase again since my bed is now clear of any fifth wheel hitch. It’s easy to just drop the ball in there and start pulling the gooseneck, leaving lots of room for other things in the bed.
Great product. The fit and finish is perfect. The trailer tows so much smoother and the chucking is almost gone. The extra bed space is a great bonus.

Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert Turning Point - 21K - 3.5K TW
Great replacement for the Curt Turning Point pin box! Easy to install and took a couple hours since I did it by myself. I had to purchase new 5/8” locknuts as the originals from the Curt install needed replacing. I also had to buy (4) 5/8” nuts from Tractor Supply since the Curt install had nuts welded on the front 4 bolt locations. I used the Curt 5/8” bolts and flat washers since they did not need replacing. I haven’t had a chance to get the trailer on the road yet, but see no reason why it will not pull nicely with the Gen Y gooseneck. It will be pulled with a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 6.6 Duramax and 10 speed Allison transmission.
The ride while pulling our trailer is much better. While there is still some bucking, the Gen Y hitch is much smoother. The install was fairly easy as well.

Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Auto Latch - Lippert Rhino - 21K GTW - 3.5K TW
Ship fast install was done in one hour!!
If you are towing as a gooseneck- the Gen Y is absolutely the best choice! You get what you pay for - an extremely well designed and engineered hit hitch that has exceeded my expectations.

Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pinbox for Lippert 1621/0719 and Rhino Box - 24K GTW - 6K TW
If you have all the right tools, and an assistant, this is a simple 1 hour job. I pulled my truck back, supported the pinbox using an 8x8" block and easily pushed it into place using the block as a pivot point. I dont know what the sweet spot for PSI will be but towing (came preloaded at 20 PSI) but seems smoother and I gained about 3-5" space beteen my truck and trailer after installation. If you get the safety chain package, the shaft on the pinbox bolts will be too short...I grabbed Class 5 bolts at a local Tractor Supply. A noticable umprovement occured when I loaded my duelly, the bed didnt sink like it used with the 5th wheel and the trailer seemed to find its natural level quickly.

Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert Rhino - 30K GTW - 6.5K TW
We have had this hitch for 1 year now, with approximately 5000 miles of towing so far and it is excellent. We went with the 6.5K instead of the 5.5k (as the specs suggested) and are so glad we did, our Grand Design 410TH is large but only has a 3800lb pin weight. Once it settled in just after 1000 miles the hitch is very smooth and handle the bumps and potholes great. It is very secure and we don't worry about a king pin not locking into the hitch with this setup. After a little practice I can usually backup directly under the ball on the first try (I thought it would be more difficult but it isn't). With all the drama over frame issues, and now the frame manufacture developing their own shock absorbing hitch, we feel more confident we made the right choice and put this hitch on before we even brought our 5th wheel home. This is a must for every toy hauler or 5th wheel over 15K.
Install not difficult just heavy so need help.
