Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Lippert 1716 5th wheel pin box. This has a 15,500 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this pin box will serve as a director placement for the worn or damaged Lippert 1716 pin box that comes on your 5th wheel trailer. The king pin right down here is what'll connect to any 5th wheel trailer hitch.
This is a durable steel construction. You can see this has a nice, black powder coat finish over it to resist rust and corrosion. And it is a bolt-on installation. It will attach to your trailer frame using your existing hardware and it'll bolt into place along the three rows of bolt holes. Now, one thing I do wanna mention is you wanna make note of the bolt hole locations of the factory installed pin box because you do wanna mount this pin box in the same hole settings using the factory hardware.
Also, because of the weight of this unit, which is right around 99 pounds, you do wanna have a friend nearby to help you lift it into place during installation. This part is made in the USA. And again, the weight capacity on this is 15,500 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Lippert 1716 5th wheel pin box with the 15,500 pound gross towing weight capacity..

Perfect fit and easy to change out. Beyyer yet the pin length os perfect.
For those of you who, like me, may have purchased a truck with the under the bed rail system for your fifth wheel you know the positioning of the rail system is set in front of the rear axle instead of directly above the axle making the distance between the cab and trailer that much closer. This can cause a problem hooking up with your tail gate in the down position if you have a medium length pin box on your trailer. etrailer has a great chart online to help you determine what kind of pin box you have and if there is another one manufactured that will fit in the same place. This longer pin box for me was a great economical, safe solution. The Lippert 1716 long box is a direct replacement for the Lippert 1116 medium box, but is seven inches longer giving me the needed distance to hook up.
I ordered it due to a mishap on my original pinbox being damaged. It fit perfect and had no issues. Not only did they have it in stock they are the cheapest around and free shipping. Will definitely be a loyal customer for all my trailer needs.
because of the way it was packed or miss handled by ups people the box broke /was distroyed delaying delivery of the item and slight damage to the item which i will repair as i need to complete the install.
Great quality pin box for hauling my 12000 pd fifth wheel
drove it around town to test it, worked great

First time using etrailer so I wasn't sure what to expect. But they were fast, efficient and keep us updated throughout the shipment. This was a replacement part for a customer shipping their cargo on us to Nome and it had to get here on time, very pleased with the service and follow through.
Thanks

Review from a similar Standard Pin Box in Fifth Wheel King Pin
I was greatly surprised to find that the replacement hitch had been re-engineered. I was expecting to add reinforcement to the hitch before mounting it to the trailer. I had previously bent two hitches when I had to jump on the brakes when cut off by idiots on the highway. From what I seen in this hitch I believe it will now do what I need it to do!! Thank You

I was happy with the price. I should fit perfectly and go on our camper with very little problems. It arrived at our home in approximately 3 days from when I ordered. which to me seemed very fast. I was however when I found it at my house the package was torn open many different ways. i'm using it to replace the factory hitch. I would etrailer for anything RV related.

I researched the product thoroughly and the price and free shipping were above the competition. The Pinbox was exactly as ordered, although the shipping container was in pieces when it arrived. The customer service agents were at the top of their game and pin point professional.
