Upgrade the factory pin box on your fifth-wheel trailer to this cushioned model that dampens road shock and reduces back-and-forth chucking for a more relaxed towing experience. Unlike air bags, the internal rubber spring requires no maintenance.
Features:
Specs:
Most standard pin boxes are constructed of steel and are built with the sole purpose of connecting your fifth-wheel trailer to your tow vehicle. There is no cushioning built in, so a factory pin box doesn't do anything to provide a comfortable ride when you're hauling your fifth-wheel trailer.
This MORryde pin box, however, is built with an internal rubber spring that absorbs road shock and vibration at the connection point. So if you're driving on unpaved roads or uneven pavement, this pin box will prevent any road shock and vibration you encounter from transferring from your tow vehicle to your fifth-wheel trailer and vice versa. In other words, the rubber spring takes the brunt of the impact so you and your towing setup don't have to. And because this unit uses a rubber spring instead of an internal air bag like some other upgraded pin boxes, there's no maintenance required.
The internal rubber shear spring in this pin box is optimized for trailers that range from 14,001 to 18,000 lbs to ensure that it provides just the right amount of shock absorption for your application. If this pin box were to be used on a larger trailer, the spring would be too stiff to provide enough cushion. And if your trailer's GVWR was less than 14,000 lbs, then the spring would be too flexible to provide adequate support.
Chucking, the back-and-forth jerking movement you feel in your cab when towing, occurs most frequently during starts and stops and while making turns. A typical, factory pin box creates a rigid connection without much give. So when a harsh stop occurs, all of the trailer's forward momentum gets forced through that stiff connection, slamming the king pin in the hitch and jerking your truck around.
To combat this, glide pads are built into the MORryde pin box that allow the skid plate to shift up to 3" forward and backward and 1-1/2" side to side to compensate for some of that violent motion so that you don't have to feel it in your cab.
This MORryde pin box is a direct replacement for your existing Lippert 1621HD pin box, so the installation is very straightforward. After removing your old Lippert pin box, the MORryde can be mounted into place using the same hardware and bolt holes used by the factory pin box.
Because of the weight of the unit, you'll want a couple of friends to help you lift it into place during installation. Once the hardware is securely bolted down, you'll be ready to go.

Upgrade the factory pin box on your fifth-wheel trailer to this cushioned model that dampens road shock and reduces back-and-forth chucking for a more relaxed towing experience. Unlike air bags, the internal rubber spring requires no maintenance.Product was received as expected. Installation went very well. I am eager to try it out this week on the road!
Trailer tows so much better with the new pin box.
It took me about an hour to remove the old one and install the Morryde! Out local camper dealer wanted $700 to do that! I guess I'm worth more than I thought!
After talking with a couple of the sales raps, we were able to obtain the right product. It was shipped it was delivered on time. We picked it up at will call installed it a few hours later with no trouble at all. We would recommend etrailers and this product to anyone.
This is an excellent pinbox and hopefully I’m saving some wear and tear on my trailer. We have a Superglide auto slide hitch and the Morryde adapter sure beats the capture plate I had before. No more chancing a broken foot when it accidentally falls off.
Towing our 36' toy hauler with this pin box is much less jarring than the original pin box. It definitely isolated the movement of the trailer from the truck.
Love the new pin box. It has performed as advertised and provides a much smoother ride!
This hitch is awesome. It works much better than expected and makes towing our 5th wheel a very pleasant experience.
Great product is everything l expected can't wait to install it and try it out. Received it in a very short time. Very happy with Etrailer will buy more products with them.
So far 5 stars. I have not towed with it yet. Install took about 2 hrs and not to bad. Pin box weighs probably double the LCI. Very sturdy and is expected really help the towing experience.
We are completely satisfied with our purchase and the overall help and customer service we received in the ordering process. No more chugging and a much smoother pull behind, glad we made the change.
going to pull with it thursday, just got it today, it is built very well, can't wait to try it out and it is heavy so get some help. Will try to let you know a little latter about how it is. A freind helped me put it on and one more person or a fork lift would have helped.
I purchased this about 1 year ago, love it, eTrailer also matched online price and delivered in perfect condition! The pin box is AMERICAN made, what else is there to say!
wow what a difference this pinbox made 99% of the chucking is gone, the ride is so much smoother and enjoyable. I highly recommend this pinbox for anyone pulling a 5th wheel. Etrailer had it in stock and shipped promptly. I do reccomend 2 people as it is heavy.
Very simple install.
