Reese Goosebox Compatibility with 2017 Ford F-350 with Factory Pucks and Gooseneck Hitch Ball
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
If I did my math right, I have -3.5 inches of clearance based off the gooseneck ball location and current pin box. My current pin box is 18.5" from center of kingpin to first bottom bolt. The Reese goose box is about 1 inch shorter, which means my negative clearance goes to -4.5 inches. So, what does that translate to in degrees? How do I figure that out? I am also considering a B&W Companion fixed and slider version of the 5th wheel hitch. Which one out of all three do you recommend? Also, to clarify, the clearance takes into account my trailers most front point. But my trailer is very cone shaped and the cutouts on the trailer sides are a maximum distance of 20 inches from the front. So frankly, I am just royally confused right now.

With a 2017 Ford F-350 the Goose Box Pin box replacements do work with the standard bed size. The standard bed has an inside height of 21.1 inches, so you will have adequate clearance with the Goose Box being completely inside your truck bed yet ensuring your trailer is over the bed rail height. The Goose Box has adjustability so you can ensure the correct angle to ensure a fit.
I've attached a couple photos to assist with the clearances you should look for with your trailer and the measurements of the Goose Box # RP85FR to assist.
In order to use the Goose Box you will need to have a specific trailer pin box. If the pin box is a Lippert 0719, 1621, 1621HD you can use Goose Box # RP85FR.
If the pin box is a Lippert 0115, 0116, or 1716 you can use # RP94716-61301.
The pin box manufacturer and model number should be on a sticker or plate on the pin box itself, but if you can't find that number, I've attached an article to assist in measuring your pin box to determine the size and pin box number to help you get the correct Goose Box.
Let me know if you have further questions.
