Hey Michael. The Curt Helux item # C94HB is about 6" shorter and 20 lbs lighter than the Reese Goose Box item # RP85FR that also fits a Rhino Box pin box.
The Curt Helux item # C94HB weighs 200 lbs, including the safety chains. It measures 30-11/16" long and 14-11/16" wide.
The Reese Goose Box item # RP85FR weighs 220 lbs, without the safety chains. It measures 36.45" long and 12" wide. This pin box also requires the Reese Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks item # RP49151, which weigh an additional 14-1/2 lbs.
I have linked a couple of diagrams below so you can see the dimensions of each pin box.
What kind of trailer do you have and does it currently have a Rhino pin box?

Hi, 21' keystone fuzion with the rhino. I had the goosebox on my last rig and loved it but the curt option being new and coming standard on other rigs, I thought I'd compare. Still sounds like the goosebox is my preferred path given the extra few inches in height (last rig was close to bedrails). ~20lb difference is negligible IMO.
