Reese Goose Box?

[L'Sinclair]

I am thinking about getting the Reese Goose Box hitch for our 30RLS and would like to know if anybody is using one? Any feedback? It will be used with a Ram 6'4" bed and wondering what the turning radius is, too?

I use the Gen-Y Executive gooseneck pin box for my 310RL. I do not get the same mileage I did with my B&W Companion Slider (10.5 with B&W and 9.4 with Gen-Y), however I do have my bed free after each tow.

Good luck and have fun!

Thanks and interesting...why would the gas mileage be lower?

I wish I knew. Could it be because I am about 1" nose high? (who knows) Planning on adjusting during the off season.

With the GM products, you can use their "trailering" app, and that is where I am getting my MPG information. Also, the trips we took are different, not over the same roads, however I think this is not just whole answer.

I wish I had gone with the Gen-Y as well. I’ve got too much invested in my Moryde pinbox and TrailerSaver BD5 at this point, though.

Do you think you will still be able to make tighter turns with the Gen Y? (90°)
Ram having the shortest short bed of the big 3 at 6’4” And the Avenue being 101”wide. I’m just curious….

With my standard bed (some people call them short) GMC, I was able to do 80+ degrees or so, however not 90 with my 310RL. I have only come across needing that 80+ one time in my short time using a 5th wheel (~10,000 miles).
