    I have about 3000 miles on my Gen-Y Executive and I absolutely love the amazing ride, the space in the bed, and not dealing with the big heavy hitch- plus I tow a gooseneck equipment trailer regularly so it was a no brainer. I highly recommend the Gen-Y product

    I went with the goose box and for the bed space savings I will never go with anything else

    Bought my first fifthwheel last month and I put a goosebox on it before I even brought it home based on watching your videos. So far I like it I have only pulled it like ten miles since I live in Wisconsin. Best part is my parking spot in my driveway requires my truck to be at about a 45 degree angle with the front of the truck being about 1.5 feet lower than the rear of the truck. I am able to hook and un hook in ways I don't think a fifthwheel could even be hooked and un hooked.

    Very good video. I've owned 3 different fifth wheel hitches, Reece, Curt, and B&W Companion. The B&W Companion is by far the easiest to use. The Reece and Curt were difficult to hitch up a fifth wheel in uneven terrain. The B&W seem to tolerate uneven terrain better than the other two I've owned.

    Thinking of a 5th wheel. This provides quite a bit of info for hitches. Thank you for sharing.

    We love our Anderson hitch with our 2018 GD Reflection 28bh. It’s quiet, light weight and easy to hook up.

    Switched from a travel trailer to a 5th wheel last fall. Originally I wanted the companion hitch, but the dealer I was buying my 5th wheel from talked me into the goose box. I am SO GLAD THEY DID. I LOVE my goose box.

    As always JD, I come away better educated about RV towing when you choose that subject to review. It's great we have so many choices in the RV field to choose from and being educated about them is critical. Thanks so big, bill in Florida

    Still rocking my Gen 1 Goose Box 3 years later, with updated Gen 2 fill valve. Love it.

    Glad to hear you like this goose box. I'm getting a flat bed installed with a gooseneck already in it. I like the fact there's no adapters this way. Plus getting full articulation at a lower price is nice too. The Reese is what I was planning to go with and I do believe you've secured my decision. Thanks for the review!

    Great video. Getting ready for a new truck, and contemplating going from the Companion, to something else.

    I really like the goose box. I've seen the GenY gooseneck hitch but haven't seen any reviews as yet. Thanks for the review and information JD.

    I moved up to a Fifth Wheel a few weeks ago. I chose the Curt Crosswing. Since getting the trailer on June 16th we've traveled just short of 4k miles. It's easy to connect. Confident connection and I feel secure towing. We have a 36' Flagstaff Super Lite, so it's not any where near it's capacity.

    Due to me running a short bed truck and coming with a gooseneck set up for my cattle trailer. I've ran the Andersen for 4 years now and love it, that being said, when I upgrade to a bigger trailer I'm not sure what I'll do for the next hitch.

    also goose box is amazing in support! i had a slight sway/twist issue that was from the suspension not quite aligned and they still gave me a new one to replace the one that twisted slightly. it was a very slight twist too. probably would have been fine. awesome company!!!!!!!

    I'd be very interested in your review of a Gen-Y gooseneck 5th wheel hitch. Prior to this video I'd never heard of it. Based on your previous reviews I've been leaning towards the Reese goose box.

    Great video. Interesting that you will likely go back to the Goosebox. We have Andersen and love it, but I would love to switch to the Goosebox and not deal with hitch at all.
