Pin Box Hits Bedside On 2017 Ford F-350 DRW With Trailer Level

Question:

I currently have a Moryde pin box RPB72-1621HD and when I turn the rear of the pin box will hit my bed rails. I tow with a 2017 F-350 DRW. and the trailer tows level now and Im at my max 136. The 5th wheel is a 2018 Jayco pinnacle 37rsts. Looking for a cushion pin box thats wont hit the bed rails. Thanks in advance

The best option we can offer to help prevent the pin box from hitting the bed sides while turning is going to be changing the pivot point. This is assuming all other adjustments have been made to height of the fifth wheel hitch and pin box. The reason you'd need to go with a new pivot point over just a different pin box with standard pivot is that pin boxes are designed to have the same overall dimensions as those they are designed to replace.

The Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret part # RP34FR is going to be the solution for your setup.
