$2,300 plus tax? It’s a pretty 😢 expensive upgrade given the kingpin hitch comes with almost all trailers. 😮. Don’t think I’ll be buying one anytime soon.
You’re clearly a super knowledgeable guy with a lot of experience , which means you know what to ask. You’re videos would benefit greatly from you asking the right questions instead of demonstrating you’re knowledge when you have the guy who actually designed the equipment right in front of you.
Nothing on hitch, would have loved an hands on each portion of the hitch and not the person. Probably a neat guy, just not a video on the hitch.
It would be nice if the guy explaining all the stuff would answer our questions on here instead of people who just own one.
I still do not like the placement of the air valve or the cable pull handle. They need to be reachable from the ground at the back of the truck with tailgate down. I modified my Gen 1 to do just that and I am not an engineer in any way. Just an ole fart farm boy.
I talked my Dad into getting the second Gen. 20K goosebox when he bought his 2017 Primetime Sanibel 3917 with comes in at a GVW of 16K lbs. We have run the ranch hand adapter for 20 years on other fiver’s and always complained about the chucking and porpoising in the ride quality. First tow with the goosebox and we were sold made it a smooth tow and yes you still know a trailer is behind you. Honestly anything over 5K lbs you know is back there, but why not have a better experience and reduce fatigue by running innovative products like this and not void any warranties. People complain about the price but if you have a turn over set up you’re going to spend the same amount for a high quality fifth wheel setup with lower weight classification.
Maybe Mike can explain why reese customer support is so terrible/non existent
I bought a new 5th wheel with a Road Armor Pin Box and immediately changed it to the 3rd gen Reese Goose Hitch. I love it.
7 min.’s in and still only looking at a guy. Wow.
Wish Reese would answer their phone when you need a part for this hitch... On hold over two hours! Then they announced they were closed and hung up on me😮
We didn't even take our 2021 cedar creek 38ebs off the lot until the 20k goose box was installed. We then traveled from south Louisiana to Denver the day the hitch was installed and it was worth every penny. Reese has a great product 👌
Thanks for taking the time to talk with Mike! Great video as always!
Used a 2nd gen for a couple years on my Jayco Eagle 355mbqs and loved it! Paid $1000 for it then. Just bought a new 2nd gen for a new Crossroads redwood 4150RD I’m buying and I’m installing and picking up next week. Paid $1600. Love the Reese goosebox and won’t tow my fifth wheel with anything else. $2500 for a 3rd gen on E-trailer seems to be a little crazy. Will use the second gen till and if the 3rd gen comes down in price.
I replaced the pin box with a Gen2 GooseBox on a 2 axle Heartland Cyclone after watching your reviews. It's been on trips from Kansas to Arizona and New York on all kinds of roads. It hauls better than the original 5th wheel setup. I loved my B&W Companion hitch, but the convenience of instantly having the entire truck bed available whenever the trailer is disconnected can't be beat!
I bought my Gen 2 in 2019 based on your review and have no regrets. It's on my 2nd fifth wheel now and still performing like new. My air bag only requires a fill up in the beginning of the season and maybe a top off in late summer. If it needed to be replaced I would not hesitate buying the Gen 3. Thanks JD.
I have a 20,000 lb. Goose box and I love it. I have a 20,000 lb. Dual tandem flat bed trailer that I haul tractors etc. on. The difference in the chucking when it is empty is gone with the Goose Box. You will not believe the difference even when loaded, I love my Goose Box.
Two years of 2nd gen goosebox ownership. I am still as happy with it as day one. No regrets or plans to do anything different with my towing setup.
I love my 2nd Gen Reese Goosebox. I never towed with a conventional 5th wheel but love the ride so much that I see no need to change.
I love my pin box Gen 2! Such a great Towing experience! I've Been recommending to many people at the Campground who ask about my setup! I also love my Reese Products 👌
Love my goose box absolutely. Toes great and having my bed as a weekend warrior is huge.
