Compare the Shocker Quick Air® Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box with Kingpin to the REESE 5th Airborne. Both products use air-ride technology to cushion the connection between your truck and 5th wheel camper, but their designs, capacities and serviceability are different.
The Shocker Quick Air features a built-in, surge-style air-ride system that uses an air spring, dual urethane bump cushions and pivoting surge action. This design is focused on absorbing the forward-and-back chucking, jerking and tugging commonly experienced while towing a 5th wheel camper. The replaceable air-ride assembly is easy to access and service if needed.
Rated for up to 24,000 lbs. gross trailer weight and 6,000 lbs. pin weight, the Quick Air offers greater towing capacity than the REESE 5th Airborne 94420. It is also approximately 25 lbs. lighter, made in the USA and backed by Shocker Hitch’s 60-day smoother-towing guarantee. The REESE 94420 uses an air spring, rubber springs and dual shock absorbers and is no longer manufactured.
