Reese Side Winder Pinbox

Cab clearance has, in the past, been addressed with 5th wheel hitch changes. However, I have found the best way to address this issue is a change of the pinbox.

I had a slider for about 5 years. I...

Reese Side Winder Pinbox

I have a short bed truck. I had a Reese Sidewinder Pinbox install on my Montana. I moves the pivot point about two feet to the rear. Works great and makes backing easier as well

I have a short bed Tundra and have been using a Kurt slider. The thing was making all kinds of chunks and noises back there but it did give me the clearance I needed in tight places. However, I...
