I put the Reese Goosebox 20k on my 45’ toy hauler as well for the same reason. I hate the huge 5th wheel hitch in the truck. We love it and I cannot believe how smooth it is. Love it. Had dealer install before delivery as well.
Thank you for this! My husband never wanted a 5th wheel because of the hassle and loss of space in the truck bed. We have been thinking of moving up to a smaller (33') 5th wheel in a couple years and I just told him about the reese gooseneck. I will have him watch this video to hear all the (as he calls you) Lucky Penny guy's opinion.
i have this hitch on my 31 foot fifth wheel. Its easy!! It works!! Its awesome!! I took my trailer in for service, they locked my latch open on me and I didn't know it. Towed it all the way home unlatched!! Scary and lesson learned!! But no damage. I have an older truck with a B&W turnover hitch and I bought the Fifth wheel adapter plate... I can tow any typical trailer type around (5th wheel, gooseneck, or bumper pull). And my reese goose box leaves my pick up box much more usable than if I had a couple hundred pound of 5th wheel hitch equipment in it all the time.
Great Job, we are going with a gooseneck on our rig !!! You definitely hit the top reasons we will change !!
I’ve had it for about 6 months and I’m so glad I switched! I installed it myself.
Now you just need a Switch Crew Chad shirt and you'll be all set!
You're a funny one Jennifer!
Good review. And the warranty comment at the end is so important. I was told (by Heartland) that the warranty would not be voided as long as the dealer installed the Goosebox. I was good with that in 2019 and have been happy with it ever since.
I've had one on our32ft. Montana for four years now and LOVE it.
Talona Ridge looked beautiful ! Sorry we missed you two our truck finally arrived November 9th pick it up on the 11th just got the 25,000 lb. B&W hitch in getting air bags installed Friday the 19th . We are out of prison… LOL we can move now.
Great video and host. Just starting to shop for a 5th wheel but don't to loose bed space in the GMC 2500HD. Thanks!!!
I have been watching your channel since you started putting out videos. I believe you put out the best content around. You go to the most interesting content in some of the smallest towns. For only being less than a year old, you keep me entertained! Thanks a lot!
Hey thank you for that encouragement. We appreciate you watching
Congratulations on your recent appearance in RV Today. You guys are the rising stars in the RV world. I think you’ve just stamped your tickets for 2022 and beyond.
Wow, thank you!
I also have a Reese 20k Goosebox with a B&W extended ball and handle. I use a portable wireless Iball camera with a magnetic base that I mount to the handle right next to the ball…works great ( I also added colored tape to the front of the hitch). I love the Reese Goosebox for many of the benefits you mentioned….no tug test needed as with a kingpin and 5W hitch. What puzzles me is why we don’t see more Reese Goosebox hitches on 5th wheels. BTW, I believe Reese is the only Goosebox that Lippert approves on their 5W frames. Great vid.
Considering switching over to the Reese gooseneck box. Great review! Thanks...
Glad to help
I did the same as you. Brand new installed at the rv dealer best investment you can make for towing a 5th wheel.
Thanks so much Todd and Shiela! I absolutely hate that the bed of our truck is tied up with a 100# hitch. So appreciate you sharing this as I’ve wondered about the gooseneck. Now trying to get hubby to make the switch before we start our journey in January. .
We don’t have a fifth wheel but if I did, the Reese will be my first choice. Very well made and easy to use
Great job Todd! Chad better watch out, you know this RV stuff! Love you guys!
"If Todd can do it..." 😮🤣 I don't know if I could change but the room in the bed would be nice!
Great info. I’m thinking about switching out my hitch. I pull with a 2020 F450 and feel all potholes something wicked!
Well potholes are still something wicked - I swear we are gonna break a spring someday.....ugh. Some roads are just horrific! However, we do notice a difference with this hitch
I'm not sure if you lube your gooseneck ball. Which helps for the friction. Then they also make a boot. You can put over the ball to keep the grease on the ball when not using it.
When I ordered my 2018 Ram 3500SRW with factor air assist suspension and puck system I ordered a Reese Goosebox. At the time you could only get a Gen 1 as the 2 was not out yet. I am not sorry I did. I don't have as many miles as you, but not going back to a king pin hitch. I hook up solo 99% of the time. No cameras. I usually only get out and look about twice per hook up.
That view from Talona Ridge is gorgeous.
Yes it is! Talona Ridge has an amazing RV Resort going on up there on that hill!
THANKS! we have a Reese and love it. Reflection 337. BUT we learned a few things from you Todd!
Interesting vid! We have the Reese Goose Box and love it. We have 2 other goose neck trailers, horse and flat bed, and this is the perfect choice for us too. We tow with a 2019 F450 and also worried about the clearance but it is excellent. Our rig is much smaller than yours, only 26 feet, and we don’t even know it is behind us. Love all your vids!!
Thank you for watching - we appreciate you!
I know I've commented before about this but WE LOVE OUR REESE GOOSEBOX!! It is absolutely some of the best money we have spent.
Thanks for the review, JD from BTBRV cant say enough good things about them either and I value his opinion as well. In your application I think it is a really good fit. We on the other hand are going MDT or HDT and I come from the trucking industry so with the right hitch and suspension set up, I think I can keep wifeys stuff on the vanity on travel day as well. And still load quad, kayak, or motorcycle on the deck....
I don't know Todd.. I'm still asking myself "WWCD?". 🤣
Well done sir! You've learned more than you realized! Doing all the things!
We have the Reese 20K also and chose it for the same reasons, I want to have my bed clear without having to handle a 200# plus hitch. I wouldn't even consider going to a traditional hitch. I love the goose box.
That is awesome!
Happy with my B&W Companion Hitch. I am considering the GenY pin box.
Thank you for taking the time to do this very informative an I’ve decided to sell my B&W companion thanks now I can have my bed space back.
I’ve watched you’re channel for about a year. I’ve been looking for a 5th toy hauler and finally found just what I’m looking for. 2019 Grand Design Momentum 395! Hopefully I’ll get it in July. Thanks for this review on the Reese 20k. It’s just what we’ve been looking at and it’s look perfect!
Yeah! That is the rig we have! You will love it
Great video. Thanks for the info. We’ve been researching hitches since we have our first fifth wheel on order. You’ve got my attention.
Glad it was helpful! We do enjoy having the bed available for other things - no complaints at all on this set up.
Great show and information. You did a great job on teaching. Though I do not have the same system it made me think about the air levels and smoothness. I will need to look this over more since after we left you guys at the huddle we did have a big bridge in Jacksonville FL with a lot of stop and go since they were working on the bridge. Needless to say because of all the bouncing mom and I hade glass everywhere from a cabinet from all the bouncing.
Goodness - glass is the worst!
Can this style hitch be used on a 2019 Ford F250 truck with a standard 6.75 foot bed (oem puck system) and not have to worry about the front trailer cap (cab) hitting the truck cab when making sharp turns and reversing?
My first time seeing you guys & I am glad I watched your video. My truck got totaled & my bride fell in love with a different truck. I have a ford 2013 F350 with a B&W gooseneck. I am looking into which way to go. My 5th wheel right now is still 5th wheel. One thought is to change the 5th wheel to gooseneck or get the adapter to go from gooseneck to 5th wheel. The Anderson weighs 48 pounds & removes easily. Yes I have to get up into the bed of the truck & remove it. I rather not have to & go the way you guys are. My concerns are if I break down how easy is it to get someone to tow a gooseneck compared to a 5th wheel. As I write this I think I will call GoodSam & ask them. Hopefully you guys have not need a tow or never will. Maybe someone out there has come across this . Thank you guys for a great video & I am going to start to watch more of your great videos. Also thank you in advance to whoever might answer my question. Sorry for rambling
Thanks for the great info,we purchased a Alliance Valor at the Tampa Show. I'm going to look into switching to this before we take delivery.
Hey Congrats on your new rig! Alliance is a great company that stands behind their product - good choice!
Totally Amazing video today guys.... Keep up the great work....
Appreciate your encouragement!
We looked at the reese 20k but unfortunately it wasn't going to be enough for our 399th loaded. I like our demco but man it takes up all the bed and is to heavy to pull in and out so it just stays. Switch it Up!
We have been considering a gooseneck hitch. I do like that you have a full truck bed still. Great info. Thanks!
Hey friend!!
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing great insight.
I hope that Reese will make a Goosebox for the “rhino box” that is a unique size of pin box mount that Alliance RV uses.
Your lucky I'm upgrading from a TT to a 5r so far I haven't found a RV dealer that will sell me a Reese Goosebox 😔 in the Sturgis area, for some reason each one I've gone to makes all kinds of excuses some say its a bad idea? Some say they don't deal with Reese? One even said a regular pin Box is easier when you need your bed back just disconnect the plate from the bed and let it hang from the Pin,? I may have found a place that will install it but I have to order it myself and bring it to them. Ohh yeah one said it's going to void the warranty? I know that's not true it's the only Goosebox approved that won't Void anything.
So bizarre why you are getting so much flack for wanting a Reese. Stay the course it’s worth it - you will love having the bed of your truck available.
I enjoyed the clear and concise points made. 😘🖖🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
Nice GoPro shot. Wonder what it would look like mounted to the Reece or Fiona.
Makes me want to change out our hitch.
"I" have commented on EVERY video... Lol!!!!! Love you guys!
That's fabulous --- I was about to ask a couple people where they have been.....little did I know Todd just hid them from us :)
My husband has been seriously considering switching to this type of set up.
We really enjoy having the bed of the truck available at all times.
Great view, and info thanks Todd
Glad you enjoyed it
Unfortunately, these aren't compatible with units that come equipped with the Turning Point pinbox! I would love to switch out my turning point pinbox!
Good video. You had my interest and I don't even own a 5th wheel.
Enjoyed the video.
We have the Andersen Ultimate hitch in our 2021 Ram 3500 DRW, 8' bed truck. We got it before we knew about the Reese. The truck also has a 50 gallon aux fuel tank mounted in the front of the bed and is about 4~6 inches below the bed rails. I would like to hear something about how much you can carry in the bed of the truck, without interfering with the Reese during tight turns, when the RV is hooked up and does your tool box prevent a full 90 degree turn.
The Andersen has tripod legs which give it a larger footprint but many things can be slid under, between, or next to the legs and I can sill make full 90 degree turns if required to get into a tight spot. The Andersen only weighs about 35 pounds do it can be removed with little effort and either hung from the adapter or stowed somewhere else that's convenient.
I look forward to any thoughts offered.
Now.... If the price of diesel fuel would just get back to where it should be!
Nice! Thanks for the review!
Awesome info.. BTW where is the wall paper?
We had to pull it down- it kept falling. We think it’s because we applied it in the KC cold 🥶 so we are going to try again in the Florida heat and see if that will help. We have friends that it has worked for them so it has to be how cold it was when we applied it.
Wow! 33,000 mikes? Amazing
Great video, had never considered a goose neck connection.
Something worth considering if you use the bed of your truck for other things
Todd is not a spring chicken!! 🤣😂🤣
Can you make a 90 degree turn with it? I saw a video that showed around 80 degree before hitting the side rails , but he did have 3 inches of bed cover rails hanging over inside the bed
Hey Todd - we have not done a 90 degree turn yet to test it.....sorry!!
how do you access front grease zerk?
Hi. #1 I think
Hey Matt
Excellent content Todd!
Much appreciated!
Also, air bags don’t increase your towing capacity on your truck.
Don't believe we said that it does - it makes it level.
Thank you!
EVERYBODY GETS A FIRST TIME. HENCE, NEWBIE. WE ALL LEARN FROM MISTAKES, HOPEFULLY. JUST DON'T SPEND A LIFETIME HAVING A FIRST TIME EVERYTIME ALL THE TIME WITH EVERYTHING ATTEMPTED.
My wife suggested that a video be taken inside the trailer while traveling. I suggested that Sheila could ride inside and take the video?
Do you have stuff under the items you leave on the counter during travel?
Do you leave the Berkey on the counter? Full or empty??
Berkey rides empty in the sink - the things I leave on the counter we have glued that nonslip grippy stuff to the bottom. Yes, I think that is the technical term lol
thank you stay safe God Bless
Thanks for doing all the things
Thanks for the info.
We switched from an Anderson hitch to Reese Goosebox and LOVE IT. Yes, significantly better ride (says the wife!). If you could…what about the air level in the Goosebox, you set it higher or lower and how often? We are week-enders and usually have to fill every time. Do you?
We check it each time but don't have to fill it very often - and you can feel the difference if you forget for sure!
Great information!
Great info!!!
Hi guys! Good video, chad would be proud lol
bahahahaa good one David!
I’m also a fan of the Reese hitch. When you all continue your life on the road, will you get the independent suspension?
If then yes :-)
Have you had any problems with the bag blow off valve not working?
No - not any issues at all. Thanks for watching
Great review video
And I thought Pennsylvania had the worst roads - lol!!!
Thank you for good explanation 👍
Thanks for wathing
Good info - I bet CHAAAAAAD doesn’t have this info! LOL Hey, by the way, are you two doing Quartzsite this January?
We will be in Florida at the Tampa RV show this January-----thanks for watching
Good job on this video!
Thanks!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Todd I can believe how well and knowledgeable you actually sounded on this video! Nice job! Impressive!
Not like you 😊 🍺
Did you get anything for the original pin box.
No - but we didn't ask but in hindsight we should have at least brought it home and tried to sell it ourselves
Very informative video.
Thanks for doing all the things Polly
FYI ... Reese & eTrailer are Pulling a fast one on their "new" hitches. VERY UNHAPPY!!
First - The Reese pinbox came without installation hardware or directions. The hardware took a month for them to replace and again came without directions.
Second - The Reese pinbox DOES NOT have the air valve as pictured on the websites. When I called I was told it was due to a parts shortage and the person I spoke to at Reese even told me that the new set-up was a dumb design.
I TOTALLY AGEE! Send me the part!
To inflate one person has to literally crawl under the pinbox, while hitched to the 5th wheel, to inflate while another watches the bar. Not easy for a 60+ year old fat man!
The valve faces OPPOSITE the side where the inflation bar is located! Plus, the valve is so close to the wall of the box (picture) you cannot install an extension hose. Just Dumb.
After follow ups with eTrailer, I were basically informed by Hannah that I have to live with it. Either that, or I could pay to ship it back. Mean while, both Reese & eTrailer are selling parts that are not as shown on the website.
NO - NOT HAPPY!
Wow.. that doesn't seem like a good explanation. Sorry to hear about that. We do love out hitch but don't know about those changes.
@@SwitchItUpLife I purchase it 6 weeks ago - one would think it would be the next Gen (3). Nope! They sent me a leftover Gen 2 that they don't have all the parts for.
I was told by eTrailer that I would have to pay to return (pallet & truck). Great customer service! They know they are wrong but they tell you to deal with it. When I spoke to Reese, Paul told me what I was shipped was a stupid solution that their engineers came up with. The valve is so tight to the pinbox wall you cannot attach an extension hose.
good vid
Good info!
Thanks!
@@SwitchItUpLife Todd can absolutely compete with Chad!!!
Team shodd
love the videos
The wrong airbag system. You have a load leveling system. You can get a true air ride system but it would make towing less comfortable

Hi Janelle!
@@mattcaylor5111 hey Matt! I’m bummed you have a crab and I was in the first 100 people!
Doat!!
Appreciate that Mark!
Have you taken the bottom section of or peaked under the cab and see how many cracks you have in your fifth wheel frame since using that? Don’t do it people it’s not worth it your frame will crack within the first 600 miles these frames are not designed for that one way whatsoever I don’t care what lippert says I guarantee you his frame is cracked somewhere
Based on research we have done - we have not seen this as an issue with the new system - however based on your comment we are gonna take a look. Thanks
C4YT 😊
Love you Love!
Thanks Terri
C4YT
C4yt
man i really don't want tog rt old like u guys
Not sure what your comment means...so... thanks?...lol
What a load of crap
Well - we really enjoy our Reese Gooseneck so that's our thoughts - you obviously have a different opinion - I'll hop over to your channel to watch your review and see what set up you have.
Great video!
Thanks!
