I am upgrading my 7.3 diesel shortbed with a new 6.7 as soon as Ford can build it for me. The short bed uses a "slider" hitch with the standard rails.
My current trailer is a 33foot 5th wheel toyhauler with a loaded weight of 13,500lbs. I probably put 3-5000 miles a year on it for weekend campouts.
I love the idea of clearing out my truck bed and never having to store or move a big 5th wheel hitch again so was looking into a goose neck conversion. Most of the adapters out there are pretty sketchy and don't seem like they would hold up well. Reece, however, makes a complete new pinbox that replaces the factory 5th wheel pinbox on the trailer. It seems like a pretty good unit and that fact that it is accepted by the trailer frame manufactre (and will NOT void the frame warranty) makes me think that it might actually have been engineered and tested properly.
So the question: anyone have any experience with them?
