Question:

I own a 2013 Evergreen Everlite 32RL 5th wheel that has the Lippert 1621pin box installed Reese sidewinder stock. I want my truck bed back so wondering how well this would work out? Hoping for a black Friday deal and or a Veteran discount?

Hello Jeff,

Switching from your fifth-wheel setup to a gooseneck is a great way to get your truck bed back and make towing easier. The MORryde GooseTech pin box replaces your Reese Sidewinder and connects right to a gooseneck ball, giving you a clean bed when you’re not hitched up.

The GooseTech also gives you a smoother, quieter ride. MORryde’s rubber shear springs absorb bumps and reduce the front-to-back “chucking” that can happen with a standard pin box. It’s designed to make towing more comfortable and less stressful on both your truck and trailer.

Your 2013 Evergreen Everlite 32RL uses the Lippert 1621 bolt pattern, so the GooseTech will bolt right up with no frame changes needed. You’ll just want to choose the correct version based on your trailer’s gross trailer weight (GTW), not the pin box label. The model # MR47MV is rated for up to 18,000 pounds GTW, which is more than your Everlite needs since it’s closer to 10,500 pounds. The lighter-duty -03 version # MR57MV would be a better match for your trailer’s actual weight. Please verify your GTW by checking the sticker on your 5th wheel.

Once installed, you’ll have your truck bed free again, an easier hookup, and a noticeably smoother ride. It’s a great upgrade if you’re ready to replace the Sidewinder and go to a gooseneck setup. Just remember to use safety chains, as most states require them with gooseneck connections. If you would like to give me the year, make, and model of your truck, what size bed and if you have the OEM prep package or not, I am happy to find the correct ball for the bed of your truck.

I thank you for your service, I wish I had a working coupon code to offer, but there is not one at this time. I do not believe this will be discounted extra for Black Friday, you would need to come back to check.

What kind of adventures have you been on this year?

Hey Jeff, how did things go with the MORryde GooseTech pin box on your Everlite 32RL? Did it give you the smoother ride and extra truck bed space you were hoping for? Your experience could really help others thinking about switching from a Sidewinder setup.
