Recommended Method to Determine 5th Wheel Pin Box Towing Capacity
Question:
I have a Reese Evolution hitch on my Rockwood trailer. What is the towing capacity of that hitch? I have the 2 bolts removed because I have a short box truck.

The Reese Revolution pin box is the OEM version of their Sidewinder aftermarket line, four of which we offer. These can have different towing capacities; three are rated for 16K, parts # ST400-5AS16K, # RP61412 and # RP34FR. There will usually be a sticker on the left side of the pin box with its model number and capacity listed. This is the best way to verify the towing capacity of the pin box. You can refer to the linked article for more on Sidewinders.
