Hey Robert. The MORryde GooseTech 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item #MR47MV works with Lippert 1621 pin boxes up to 19,000 lbs GVWR. These are only a few months old so there's no word yet about MORryde making ones with a higher capacity. If…

Master Your Towing with the Right 5th Wheel Pin Box
A 5th Wheel Pin Box is essential for smooth and safe towing of your trailer. It connects your trailer to the hitch in your truck bed, allowing for better maneuverability and stability. Consider factors like bed length, turning radius, and suspension type when choosing the right pin box for your setup.
A 5th Wheel Pin Box enhances towing by providing a stable connection between the trailer and truck, reducing sway and improving ride quality. Models with air suspension can further smooth out the ride, making long hauls more comfortable and less stressful on your equipment.
Consider your truck's bed length, as short beds may require a pin box like the Reese Sidewinder for better turning clearance. Also, think about the weight capacity and whether you need features like air suspension for a smoother ride. Professional installation is recommended due to the pin box's weight.
Installation can be challenging due to the pin box's weight, often requiring professional help. Ensuring the correct wedge fit is crucial to prevent movement during turns. Some models may require adjustments to the hitch height for optimal towing angles.
Regularly inspect for any signs of wear or damage, especially after long trips. Check bolts and connections for tightness, and ensure any air suspension components are functioning properly. Address any cosmetic damage promptly to prevent rust.
If you encounter issues like damage or incorrect parts, contact the manufacturer for support. Many offer warranties that cover defects or shipping damage. It's important to address these issues promptly to ensure safe towing.
