Upgrade your fifth-wheel towing experience with the Gen-Y Hitch torsion pin box, a revolutionary device that transforms how you tow with your gooseneck hitch. Designed for seamless integration, this all-in-one box replaces your trailer's existing pin box, offering superior shock absorption and an easier hookup process with its innovative auto-latch feature.
Key Features:
- 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Conversion: This adapter allows you to connect your fifth-wheel trailer directly to your truck's gooseneck hitch, streamlining the towing process and eliminating the need for multiple hitch systems.
- Advanced Shock Absorption: Utilizes torsion axle technology to significantly reduce the transfer of road shock from the trailer to the truck and vice versa, ensuring a smoother, steadier ride.
- Reduced Motion: Effectively minimizes chucking and the rough fore-and-aft motion typically associated with towing, as well as dampening bounce and jarring motions.
- Maintenance-Free Design: With no airbags to refill and fewer moving parts, this pin box is built for durability and ease of maintenance.
- Auto-Latch Mechanism: Features a self-latching lever that automatically engages when the hitch ball is in the socket, simplifying the hookup process.
- Built Tough: Constructed from heavy-duty steel with a durable powder coat finish to resist wear and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Enhanced Towing Experience:
The Gen-Y Hitch torsion pin box features internal pivot points that allow dynamic movement between the box and the coupler tube, absorbing vibrations and shocks from uneven roads. This unique design includes tubes with inner bars surrounded by rubber cords that twist to follow the motion of the coupler but are prevented from over-twisting. As these bars turn, the cords compress, absorbing the rough shock, ensuring that any vibrations experienced by your truck are not transferred to your trailer, and vice versa.
Convenient Hookup and Release:
The auto-latch feature significantly simplifies the process of connecting the trailer, with a SnapLatch pull rod that allows for easy uncoupling from outside your truck bed. This means no more climbing into the truck bed to access and release the latch, making the hookup and release process quick and hassle-free.
