Can I Pull 18K 5th Wheel With Gooseneck Ball In My Truck Bed?
Published 10/29/2025
Question:
My toy hauler weighs close to 18,500 pounds and I want to pull it off the gooseneck ball in my truck. Can that be done without hurting the frame?

Kurt, great question. And yes, as long as you use the right gear. For heavier rigs like yours that run a Lippert Rhino pin box, the MORryde GooseTech # MR24MV replaces it directly. Unlike bolt-on adapters, this one’s engineered for that frame, rated for 18k+, and uses a built-in rubber shear-spring to absorb shock. You’ll get a smoother tow and more open bed space - a serious upgrade from the standard 5th-wheel setup.
Would you like help verifying you have the Rhino pin box?
