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 (part numbers 19311, 19314, 19315) is a removable gooseneck hitch ball that inserts into a gooseneck receiver opening. It features a handle-operated locking mechanism that secures the ball in place for towing and allows quick removal when not in use.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'NOT FOR USE WITH GM FACTORY INSTALLED RAIL SYSTEMS.' Do not use this product with GM factory gooseneck rail systems.
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 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 installation steps.
If the handle does not drop fully below the top surface of the ball, the gooseneck ball is not fully engaged in the receiver. Do not tow in this condition. Remove the ball and inspect both the ball and the receiver opening for damage, dirt, or debris. Clean any dirt or debris and repeat the installation steps. If damage is found, do not tow and contact the manufacturer.
Before towing, verify that the handle is fully locked and has dropped below the top surface of the ball. Inspect both the ball and receiver opening for any damage, dirt, or debris. If the handle does not fully seat or if any damage is visible, do not tow. Clean the ball and receiver if needed and reinstall. Never exceed your towing vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Maintenance should be performed each time you use the ball. Clean any dirt, buildup, or debris from the ball using a shop rag, paying special attention to the 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.
Yes. The manual states that the gooseneck ball should be stored when not in use and removed from the hitch when not in use. This helps protect the product and the receiver.
The main locations requiring cleaning are shown in Figure 4 of the manual. Use a shop rag to remove any dirt, buildup, or debris from these areas. The grease points are also shown in Figure 4.

The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, damage from abuse, neglect, misuse, accidents, misapplication, overloading, improper installation, improper maintenance, or alterations made by anyone other than the manufacturer.

No. This product is not compatible with GM factory installed rail systems.
No. If the handle does not drop fully below the top surface of the ball, the ball is not fully engaged. Do not tow. Remove the ball, inspect for damage or debris, clean if needed, and reinstall.
Before each use, clean the ball with a shop rag to remove dirt and debris, apply White Lithium grease to the grease point, and remove the ball from the hitch when not in use.
Do not exceed your towing vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Failure to follow installation and use instructions may cause property damage, injury, or death.
