Reese has designed towing equipment since 1952 and remains a benchmark for heavy-duty towing. The line covers fifth wheel hitches such as the modular M5, gooseneck couplers including the Goose Box, air-ride and short-bed pin boxes, weight distribution systems with active sway control, and the accessories that connect them, all built to exceed published industry standards.
Reese has been pioneering towing performance since 1952, when Margaret Reese asked her husband TJ to stop travel trailers rocking every time somebody walked through them. His answer, the first pair of stabilising jacks, was simple and effective enough to change the RV industry. From that starting point Reese grew into a designer and manufacturer of complete towing systems, and today it anchors the heavy-duty end of the Horizon Global towing portfolio.
Fifth wheel towing is where the brand's engineering is most visible. The M5 fifth wheel hitch uses a modular design that breaks into manageable sections for assembly, with a wider stance, tighter tolerances and a shock absorption system aimed at the jolts that travel up through a truck bed. For owners who would rather tow from a gooseneck coupler and keep the bed clear, the Goose Box 20K replaces the trailer's king pin with a gooseneck connection carrying its own air-ride cushioning.
Pin boxes are a Reese speciality. The 5th Airborne uses air-ride technology to dampen road shock and reduce the chucking motion that makes fifth wheel towing tiring, while the Sidewinder was designed for short-bed pickups, pivoting the connection point so the trailer can turn sharply without the front cap meeting the cab.
For conventional towing, Reese weight distribution systems restore load to the tow vehicle's front axle and control sway. The Pro Round Bar distributes weight evenly while damping sway, and the Pro Dual Cam II uses active cam-based sway control that works harder the stronger the sway force becomes. Complete kits pair bars, head and shank to a rated tongue weight, and dedicated sway control kits can be added to existing setups. The products suit RV owners, horse and livestock haulers and anyone towing near the upper end of a vehicle's rating.

Draw•Tite® and Reese® Elite® Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch Features & Benefits
The Elite Pop-In Gooseneck Ball is a removable gooseneck hitch ball that inserts into a gooseneck receiver hitch. It features a locking handle mechanism that secures the ball in place for towing and allows quick removal when not in use. Part numbers include 19311, 19314, 19315, and 19317.
The Elite Pop-In Gooseneck Ball is designed to fit gooseneck receiver hitches. However, the manual does not specify which vehicles or receiver types are compatible with each part number (19311, 19314, 19315, 19317). Contact the manufacturer at 1-800-632-3290 or visit https://qr.towingproducts.net to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
Before installation, visually inspect all surfaces of the gooseneck receiver hitch for dirt, buildup, debris, damage, or deep scoring. Wipe away any dirt, buildup, or debris from the receiver. Do not proceed with installation if damage is found.
1. Inspect and clean the gooseneck receiver hitch as described. 2. Move the handle to the unlocked position and insert the gooseneck ball into the receiver opening. 3. Rotate the handle to the locked position. The handle should drop below the top surface of the gooseneck ball when fully locked.
If the handle does not fully seat below the top surface of the gooseneck ball, the ball is not fully engaged and you must not tow. Remove the ball and inspect both the ball and receiver for damage, dirt, or debris. If damage is found, do not tow. If dirt or debris is present, clean the receiver and ball, then repeat the installation steps.
Maintenance should be performed each time you use the gooseneck ball. Clean the ball by removing dirt, buildup, and debris with a shop rag, focusing on the main locations shown in Figure 4. Apply White Lithium grease to the grease points shown in Figure 1. Remove the ball from the hitch when not in use.
Use White Lithium grease on the gooseneck ball grease points shown in Figure 1. Apply the grease at each use.
Yes. The gooseneck ball should be stored when not in use and removed from the hitch when not in use. Periodically monitor the product for any change in handle pull force or ball bearing function.
