Elite Airborne/Sidewinder
The 5th Airborne combined with the Sidewinder is the ultimate
premium pin box. It provides all the benefits of both. The 5th
Airborne provides the smoothest ride of the best air-ride pin
box on the market and easy automatic turning is offered by
Sidewinder’s design. No other hitch on the road takes the
worry and discomfort out of your trailering experience. So sit
back, relax, and enjoy the smoothest ride on the road.
User friendly
The Sidewinder system is designed for maximum flexibility
and easy installation, using existing holes and hardware.
If your fifth wheel isn’t already installed with a pin box from
Reese, talk to your dealer about which one is right for you.
The only thing smoother and more worry-free than getting one
installed is riding with one.

shock and longitudinal chucking. The 5th Airborne does more than
improve your ride; it protects your investments by relieving stress on
your coach’s frame, cabinets, mechanicals, and support mechanisms.
Reduced vibration also saves your contents. Furniture, appliances,
TVs, computers, dishes, glassware, and other fragile items stay in their
places. Drivers and passengers also benefit from reduced fatigue and
the improved safety provided by the 5th Airborne’s smooth ride.
Best on the market

Airborne performed significantly better in both orientations.
Unique aerodynamic design
The streamlined, high-tech design of 5th Airborne adds a touch of class
to the otherwise mechanical-looking hitch. 5th Airborne is engineered
with a 16K and 21K SAE/CSA rating and 5-year warranty.
5th Airborne is designed to allow tuning of the air-spring, a feature
that permits adjustment to optimize the performance of each rig
combination. The air-spring is enclosed within the pin box, providing
protection from UV exposure and road hazards. The entire pin box is
preassembled and designed for easy installation using existing holes
and hardware.
Sidewinder’s king pin locking mechanism moves the pivot position 22
inches rear of the pin box’s attachment point. This enables Sidewinder
to handle up to a 90-plus degree* turn effortlessly. By moving the pivot
rearward, the trailer tracks more closely to the tracks of the truck. This
reduces the need for extra-wide turns and allows short bed pickups
to jackknife with no fear of contact. And it’s all done automatically.
Sidewinder also offers faster steering wheel response, making backing
up easier than ever before. The pivoting pin box makes hook up possible
at any angle. And since the towing position of the arm of the pin box
is locked in line with the truck, you can make full use of the truck
bed space, giving you extra storage space for fuel tanks, toolboxes,
and cargo.
