Is this right For you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Yes, if you:
Mainly have issues with chucking (when your trailer pushes or pulls your truck) and want to smooth it out
Hate having to do maintenance - no need to find an air tank or make any adjustments before taking off
No, if you:
Frequently drive over really rough, washed-out backroads or poorly maintained highways and need something to give you more cushion
Feel like your trailer is bouncing up and down - this pin box doesn't help a whole lot with vertical movement
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. 1-636-306-4830 to order MORryde fifth wheel king pin part number MR27VR or order online at etrailer.com.

Rubber Shear Spring Absorbs and Dampens Road Shock
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.
The internal rubber shear spring in this pin box is optimized for trailers that range from 18,001 lbs to 19,000 lbs to ensure that it provides just the right amount of shock absorption for your application. If this pin box were to be used on a larger trailer, the spring would be too stiff to provide enough cushion. And if your trailer's GVWR was less than 18,000 lbs, then the spring would be too flexible to provide adequate support.
Less Chucking for a Better Ride
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.
Bolt-On Installation
This MORryde pin box is a direct replacement for your existing Lippert 1116 pin box, so the installation is very straightforward. After removing your old 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.

Video Transcript for MORryde Cushioned 5th Wheel Pin Box Review
Hi there 5th wheel owners. Today, we're going to be taking a look at Morryde's line of rubber pin boxes. The rubber pin boxes from Morryde offer a much smoother driving experience when hauling your 5th wheel trailer. There are several rubber bushings and shear pins in here that allows movement of our 5th wheel trailer, while keeping our pin box here, where it attaches to the king pin keeps that static down here. And it's able to do this using all the various rubber bumpers inside as well as the shafts here that makes sure that everything is going to stay all together. We're now going to take it out onto our test course.
First, we're going to hit our uneven bump section. That's going to mimic a pothole. Next, we're going to hit our even bump section. That's going to mimic going over a speed bump. And then we're going to see what it's like when we do like a hard turn.
We're going to go ahead and turn around right here. Put it under a nice turn. You can see it still turn just like a normal pin box would.While driving this, the performance benefits seem very similar to an Air Ride pin box. What I've noticed though, is those Air Ride pin boxes you do have to air them up. There is a little bit of maintenance there because the pressure does change as temperatures change, so you do have to just keep an eye on those, whereas something like this is a completely maintenance free option due to the rubber pads.
The pads are replaceable so if over time, maybe many years of service, they start to wear down a little bit, you can replace them.Up at front, we have a crushed bumper here. There's also one just like this located in the back. And this is really for when you're stopping and starting, and only if it's an extreme movement because it will slide on these shafts. The trailer will slide forward and as it does, this bumper here, will contact on the surface up here if you do have enough forward motion. So I guess maybe an emergency stop, you slam on the brakes and the trailer goes up, this bumper is going to adhere.
All these components are going to absorb that impact, so you're not going to feel it nearly as much as you would if you just had a solid pin hooked up to your truck. It would just be, boom. It would be very abrupt. Something like this is going to help absorb that impact, but we do also have our shear spring down inside here that allows for movement as well. That sheer spring is kind of the most magic part of the assembly. That's what determines the amount of weight that the pin box is rated for.Our glide pads here are a self-lubricating material and these allow it to slide easily on the surface. You can almost see it kind of here. This one's been out in service for a while and you can kind of see how it's nice and shiny in this location here where the puck does glide on it. So it helps support that weight up, so the sheer spring can its job properly dampening the movement because the main purpose of getting a rubber pin box like this is to smooth out your ride to help reduce chucking and jerking whenever you take off and whenever you stop. It really does help to absorb a lot of that.The movement that we do have available here, we'll have about three inches of forward and backward movement and about an inch and a half of side to side movement. Not so much side to side. It's mainly that forward and backward because it's mostly starting, stopping. That is where there's really going to make a huge difference in the feel of your trailer. You're not going to feel like every time you take off, like you're lugging this big load. It kind of eases it in, so you can just take off and it feels much smoother and then when you come to a stop, it's not like you have all this weight just barreling and pushing on you. It kind of absorbs a lot of that and it's just a much smoother operation that just overall, it's going to give you more control over your trailer because you're just going to feel like you have more control. You're not going to be as tired and gripping the wheel as much. Just really overall is just going to smooth things out and give you a little more energy when you get to your destination and overall, be more comfortable for all of your passengers.There's a few things to keep in mind when determining the pin box for your trailer. There are various different ratings for the Morryde pin boxes and also the fits. You'll want to know the make of your trailer. You'll want to know the trailer's weight rating, not the pin box's rating that you currently have. You don't want to use that. You want to know how heavy your trailer is. And you'll be using those to help determine which replacement Morryde is going to be for your trailer. And that completes our look at Morryde's line of rubber pin boxes.

Review from a similar Cushioned 5th Wheel Pin in Fifth Wheel King Pin
The king pin box was delivered in perfect shape. Metal banded, strapped to a wood pallet in a card board box. Upon installation it fit perfect. The customer support was excellent throughout the whole process from the ordering, making sure the correct king pin box was selected, to follow up, due to the long wait. The long wait was due to Covid 19. I am a happy camper and cannot wait to try it out on the road soon. I will send a follow up review. Thanks etrailer and especially Christina J. she answered all my questions and followed up on time every time.1004523

The price is great and it arrived without any damage. I haven’t installed it yet but hope to soon. Shipping was far too slow, even given Covid. If it was in stock I think it should have shipped within a week, not three weeks after ordering.1194057
Comments
I apologize for the wait. Because this item is too large for UPS, it must go Freight truck shipping and that cannot be expedited.
The MORryde # MR27VR (rated for 19,000 pounds) fits pin box flanges with the 1116 bolt pattern. If your trailer pin box flange has a more common bolt pattern, like 1621HD, you could use the MORryde # MR84VR, rated for 18,000 pounds.
If your flange has a different bolt pattern, just let me know for an updated recommendation. The bolt pattern number will be on your current hitch. Usually a four digit number. view full answer...
From previous customers we know that your Montana High Country 310RE has a Lippert 1116 pin box so for a MORryde cushioned pin box like what you referenced you'd need the part # MR27VR. view full answer...
I went ahead and reached out to my tech at Lippert (who designed the Rota-Flex # LC176440 for Curt), and they confirmed that the reason why Curt E series and Curt Q series hitches like the Curt Q16 is not compatible with the Rota-Flex is because the articulating movement of the hitch interferes with the pivoting movement of the pin box. These two mechanisms work against each other.
With that being said, if you have the Lippert 1116 pinbox, a great alternative that does not have a pivoting... view full answer...
The Reese Goose Box that fits a 1116 pin box is the part # RP94716-61301 and it weighs 178 lbs. You should note this isn't just a pin box replacement as it is for converting a fifth wheel hitch to a gooseneck hitch setup.
The MORryde cushioned pin box that fits in place of the 1116 is part # MR27VR and it weighs 165 lbs. view full answer...
