Upgrade your fifth-wheel trailer setup with the Gen-Y Hitch torsion pin box, a robust and efficient solution designed to enhance your towing experience. This advanced pin box connects seamlessly to your truck's gooseneck hitch, offering superior shock absorption without the complexity and maintenance of traditional systems.
Key Features:
- Versatile Adapter: Easily converts your fifth-wheel trailer for use with a gooseneck hitch, eliminating the need to switch between different hitch setups.
- Advanced Shock-Absorbing Technology: Utilizes a torsion axle-like mechanism to significantly reduce the transfer of road shock from the trailer to the truck and vice versa, ensuring a smoother ride.
- Enhanced Stability: Effectively reduces chucking and the rough fore-and-aft motion commonly experienced during towing, as well as minimizing bounce and jarring movements.
- Maintenance-Free Design: No airbags to refill and fewer moving parts to manage, which means less downtime and lower upkeep costs.
- Auto-Latching Mechanism: Includes a self-latching lever that automatically engages when the hitch ball is in the socket, simplifying the connection process.
- Durable Build: Constructed from heavy-duty steel with a powder coat finish that resists wear and corrosion, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
- Simple Installation: Designed for a quick, bolt-on installation using existing bolts, making it easy to upgrade from your current pin box.

Built-In Shock Absorption Mechanism:
The Gen-Y Hitch torsion pin box features internal pivot points that allow for dynamic movement between the box and the coupler tube. This flexibility is key to absorbing impacts and smoothing out the ride. The system includes tubes with inner bars surrounded by rubber cords, which twist to adjust to the movement of the coupler. These cords restrict excessive twisting and compress under pressure to absorb shocks, effectively preventing road shock from impacting your towing experience.
This Gen-Y Hitch torsion pin box is an ideal choice for anyone looking to enhance their fifth-wheel towing capabilities. It offers a reliable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional systems, with improved stability and comfort during travel. Whether you're towing a large trailer over long distances or maneuvering through challenging terrain, this pin box ensures a safe, smooth ride every time.
