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
No. The Elite Pop-In Gooseneck Ball (part numbers 19311, 19314, 19315) is explicitly not for use with GM factory installed rail systems. If your vehicle has a GM factory rail system, this product is not compatible.
The Elite Pop-In Gooseneck Ball is a removable gooseneck hitch ball that inserts into a gooseneck receiver opening. It features a handle that locks the ball in place for towing and unlocks for removal when not in use. It is available in part numbers 19311, 19314, and 19315.
1) Move the handle to the unlocked position. 2) 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, the ball is not fully engaged—do not tow. Remove the ball and inspect both the ball and receiver for damage, dirt, or debris. Clean if necessary and repeat the steps.
Before towing, ensure the handle is fully locked and has dropped below the top surface of the gooseneck ball. If the handle does not fully seat, do not tow. Inspect both the ball and receiver for any damage, dirt, or debris. If damage is present, do not tow. Clean any dirt or debris and repeat the installation steps if needed.
Maintenance should be performed each time you use the product. Clean the gooseneck ball with a shop rag to remove dirt, buildup, or debris from main locations shown in Figure 4. Apply White Lithium grease to the grease point shown in Figure 1. Remove the ball from the hitch when not in use.
Use White Lithium grease. Apply it to the grease point shown in Figure 1 on the gooseneck ball.
Apply White Lithium grease to the grease point shown in Figure 1. The main locations requiring cleaning and maintenance are shown in Figure 4.
Yes. The manual states the gooseneck ball should be stored when not in use, and step 3 of the maintenance instructions specifies to remove it from the hitch when not in use.
The manual does not specify a towing capacity for this product. You must not exceed your towing vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Consult your vehicle's owner manual or the manufacturer for the maximum towing capacity.
Do not tow. The ball is not fully engaged. Remove the ball and inspect both the ball and receiver for any damage, dirt, or debris. If there is damage, do not tow and contact the manufacturer. If there is dirt or debris, clean it as instructed (using a shop rag to remove buildup from the main locations shown in Figure 4), then repeat the installation steps.
Periodically monitor the product for any change in gooseneck ball handle pull force or ball bearing function. These changes may indicate the need for service or inspection.
No. This product is not for use with GM factory installed rail systems.
No. Do not tow if the handle does not fully seat. The ball is not fully engaged. Remove it, inspect the ball and receiver for damage or debris, clean if needed, and reinstall.
Each use: clean dirt and debris with a shop rag, apply White Lithium grease to the grease point, and remove the ball from the hitch when not in use. Monitor for changes in handle pull force or bearing function.
Ensure the handle is fully locked and seated below the top surface of the ball. Inspect the ball and receiver for damage, dirt, or debris. Do not tow if damage is present or if the handle does not fully seat.
