why an extenDed pin box
Trucks come in many different configurations. Cequent Performance Products’ hitches are designed for use in light trucks
such as the Ford F-Series, the Chevy Silverado and the Dodge Ram. Cequent Performance Products recommends the use
of long bed (8ft) light trucks for the best combination in truck -trailer turning clearance.
Y
RV TRAILER
Rule of thumb:
The distance from the back of the truck cab
to the center of the rear truck axle “X”, should
be approximately 4 inches greater than onehalf the trailer width “Y”.
KING PIN
TRUCK
X
If a short bed pickup (less than 8 ft. but longer than 6 ft.) is to be used for towing, Cequent Performance Products recommends the trailer be equipped with a minimum 13” extended pin box to help gain additional truck -trailer turning clearance
(See trailer manufacturer for options) (See below). It also may be helpful for the 18K version to add an Elite series Slider
(Part # 30070) for increased turning clearance for low speed, non-highway maneuvering.
CONVENTIONAL

WARNING:
Do Not install this fifth wheel hitch on or
attempt to tow with a short bed pickup truck
that has a bed shorter than 6 ft. Unless you
use a REESE Sidewinder or Revolution Pin
Box. Doing so could result in vehicle
damage, Serious injury, or Death.
EXTENDED
PIN BOX
The height of the hitch and the pin box should be adjusted so the trailer is approximately level as it is towed. Allow
approximately 6 inches clearance between the top of the pickup walls and the underside of the front of the trailer for
pitch and roll of the trailer. (See below.) For off road use allow more clearance between pickup walls and trailer.
APPROXIMATEDLY 6 INCHES
LEVEL TRAILER
CAUTION:
The measurements above are guidelines. If
your measurements are close to those numbers re-check clearances.If vehicle and/or
trailer has any added bed vicinity accessories
(i.e.fairings, airdams, groundeffects, bedrails,
etc.), additional dimensioning and clearance
checks have to be made.

AIRBORNE/SIDEWINDER ™
Airborne/Sidewinder™ COMBO
The best of both worlds
Introducing the new Airborne / Sidewinder. The 5th Airborne combined with the
Sidewinder is the ultimate premium pin box. It provides all the benefits of both. The
5th Airborne provides the smoothest ride of all the air-ride pin boxes on the market
and easy automatic turning is offered by Sidewinder’s nimble and quick design. No
other hitch on the road takes the worry and discomfort out of your trailering experience. So sit back, relax and enjoy the smoothest ride on the road.
The Sidewinder system is designed for maximum flexibility and easy installation,
using existing holes and hardware.
If your fifth wheel isn’t already installed with a pin box from Reese, talk to your
dealer about which one is right for you. The only thing smoother and more worryfree than getting one installed is riding with one.

19K SIDEWINDER ™
19K Sidewinder™
Nimble and quick, worry-free turning
Sidewinder is the premium pin box designed specifically for short bed pickups. The
nimble and quick design automatically eliminates turning and clearance headaches.
Now you can make up to 90-degree plus* turns without exiting the truck. Without
throwing a switch. Without pushing a button.
Sidewinder’s king pin locking mechanism moves the pivot position 22” rear of the
pin box’s attachment point. This enables Sidewinder to handle up to a 90-degree
plus turn effortlessly. By moving the pivot rearward while keeping the load centered
over the axles, the trailer tracks more closely to the truck. This reduces the need
for extra-wide turns and allows short bed pickups to jackknife with no fear of contact. And it’s all done automatically. Sidewinder also offers faster steering wheel
response, making backing up easier than ever before. The pivoting pin box makes
hook up possible at any angle. And since the towing position of the arm of the pin
box is locked in line with the truck, you can make full use of the truck bed space,
giving you extra storage space for fuel tanks, toolboxes and cargo.
Don’t let the slim looks fool you. Sidewinder has been built for strength. The
C-channel design gives it more stability and strength than the standard pin box
design. It also allows better load capacity and the ability to support heavier loads.
Tested for real world conditions, Sidewinder has cleared rigorous testing by
BOSCH automotive proving grounds and exceeds all SAE/CSA Standard 19K ratings requirements for RVs.

5th Airborne ™
5th Airborne™
Make your next getaway a breeze
The smoothest ride:
Your fifth wheel takes a lot of abuse from turbulence caused by potholes, section dividers, bridge decks and heavily worn interstate highways. The 5th Airborne
premium fifth wheel air-ride pin box acts as a buffer between the tow vehicle and
the trailer, minimizing the challenges in the road. This significantly reduces the
negative impact of vertical shock and longitudinal chucking. The 5th Airborne does
more than improve your ride; it protects your investments by relieving stress on
your coach’s frame, cabinets, mechanicals, and support mechanisms. Furniture,
appliances, TVs, computers, dishes, glassware and other fragile items stay in their
places. Drivers and passengers also benefit from reduced fatigue and the improved
safety provided by the 5th Airborne’s smooth ride.
Best on the market:
The 5th Airborne premium fifth wheel air-ride pin box was engineered and developed by long-time veterans of the towing industry.
Tests prove it’s the smoothest ride.
5th Airborne significantly outperforms
two leading competitors.

5th Airborne
This product has been through grueling tests to measure its performance
against the top two competing premium pin boxes on the market. The
5th Airborne pin box, with its innovative forward pivot design, outperformed both leading competitors. Test measurements were recorded in
both the vertical (air-ride softening) direction and the longitudinal (antichucking) direction. The documented results proved that the 5th Airborne
performed significantly better in both orientations.
The streamlined, high-tech design of 5th Airborne adds a touch of class
to the otherwise mechanical-looking hitch. 5th Airborne is engineered
with a 21K CSA rating/SAE and 3 year warranty.
5th Airborne is designed to allow tuning of the air-spring, a feature that
permits adjustment to optimize the performance of each rig combination.
The air-spring is enclosed within the pin box, providing protection from
UV exposure and road hazards. The entire pin box is preassembled and
designed for easy installation using existing holes and hardware.
