Which B&W Gooseneck Pin Box Fits Lippert 1116/1716 Bolt Pattern  

Updated 08/13/2026 | Published 07/24/2026

Question:

I want to add this B&W pin box to my 5th wheel. I know I have a 1716 bolt pattern on there now, do you have one that will work with that?

Hey Charles, yes we do! You will need one of the 1621/1621HD models, along with the Shim Kit for B&W 5th Wheel-to-Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1116 and 1716 # BW57MV. You can choose from the following pin boxes based on tongue weight:

-B&W 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1621/1621HD - 25K GTW - 3.25K TW # BW73RV

-B&W 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1621/1621HD - 25K GTW - 4.5K TW # BW83RV

The gooseneck pin box includes safety chains as well as new mounting hardware so you won't need to grab any of that separately.

What kind of 5th wheel do you have and what are you towing with?

Thanks for getting back to me. So I'm right at 13k for my gvwr, the 3.25k tw model should be good right? I'll grab that and the shims. Looks like it comes with everything else.

@Charles you're welcome! Yes, you should be fine with the 3.25K TW model. Even on the high end you'll be within the rating of the pin box. Add the shims and you're all set!
