We’ve had this pin-box on our RV for a little over 3000 miles. The ride was greatly improved over factory. This has smoothed out the ride and helps in recovery, it doesn’t eliminate the hit on the truck completely and we didn’t expect it to but over normal roads this was an amazing improvement. Shipping was good and it arrived very well packaged, install was easy in my driveway with 2 people. Check the Torque on the bolts periodically, I’ve re-torqued ours a few times now just to make sure it was good. The first 2 times the bolts took a little bit of tightening, the 3rd and subsequent checks the bolts were good so far. Not a fan of adding in the spacer plates for the fit and aligning those as we mounted this was a little tricky but not terrible.
Just finished a 2,700 mile trip from California to New Mexico and back. Its not often that a change to a fifth wheel makes much difference, but the Gen-Y Fifth Wheel Replacement King pin sure did. Its amazing . . . the best ride ever towing after four different rigs.
Thank you for sharing your testimony, Andrew! Thanks for trusting us for your fifth wheel towing!
Ordering was a breeze and shipping was quick. We are excited for spring/summer to try out our new executive King pin.
Update on our GH-8051! Well, after delivery, I installed your 8051 on our Sandpiper 3440BH. On July 2nd our family was off to Mt. Rushmore and then Yellowstone. We towed our rig over 2700 miles in 12 days. What a wonderful trip. Those miles weren’t traveled over silky smooth roads; quite the contrary. The roads in Wyoming and Colorado were horrible. Your kingpin was the saving grace! Some roads were under construction and otherwise in dangerous disrepair. The GH-8051 stabilized our rig and allowed for maximum vehicle braking and maneuvering. It’s difficult to articulate how well your kingpin performed. Another thing; before we installed the 8051, we would open the trailer after a long trip to find the contents strewn about. After installation, even traveling over some of the worst roads we’ve ever pulled on, when we opened our trailer, nothing had moved and nothing was damaged. Amazing! We were so impressed with the GH-8051, that when we returned home I purchased a Gen Y Glyder hitch to pull our boat. I’m not surprised, the experience pulling our boat has mirrored the 8051 experience. Your products are extremely well engineered and constructed. They perform exactly the way you promise they will. Well done and thank you! David Prater
David, thank you so much for taking the time to give your honest feedback on our EXECUTIVE! It’s feedback like this that motivates us to get more of our EXECUTIVES out there so more fifth wheelers can enjoy long trips without the backache. We really appreciate your kind words!
Got the Executive 5th Wheel King Pin Box hitch. ordering was quick and easy and delivery was much quicker than I thought it would be. They even attached the capture plate I ordered for me before shipping. It was actually easier to install than it was to remove the original Lippert pin box. An extra set of hands would be nice but I was able to do the removal and install by myself in just a couple hours with the use of a couple jacks and the bed of my truck. Haven’t use the setup yet but I’m sure it’ll be a vast improvement of the the old solid pin box.
