5th Wheel Assembly

Looking for info on the best 5th wheel assembly to buy. I want it removable so I can still use my truck bed, Yet light enough to take out easily.

Reese Goosebox.
You'll need the B&W turnover ball assembly then with the Goosebox you'll have nothing in your truck to remove other than the ball once unhitched.

Lots more info needed to even start to make a recommendation....

What kind of truck?
Does the truck have an OEM fifth wheel/gooseball system or hitch rails?
How big/heavy is the trailer?
How important is installation/removal of the hitch?
Do you plan to tow consistently or just once/twice a season?
How much money do you want to spend on a hitch?
What kind of pinbox is currently on the trailer and do you plan to change that too?
Is this a "permanent solution for towing" or a "temporary until we buy a larger trailer or different truck" ?
What brands are available around your area, should you need maintenance/help with the hitch? This is "very important" if you lack basic mechanical skills.
