I noticed that too at the Oct Texas GD Rally, some did have the MorRyde, but the 3350RL S Class did not. I forgot to notice the year but I thought they were all 2020. A thought crossed my mind that they may have it on the full Solitude or Momentum line but not on the S class Solitudes. Don't know if true. Maybe a trade up gimmick?

The Grand Design Website now shows the Solitude and Momentum M Class comes with MorRyde pin box and CRE3000 equalizers. The Solitude S class is coming with CRE3000 equalizers and I don't see either one for Momentum G Class.

I have the Reese Titan R20 hitch and have ZERO chucking, bucking, noise issues. Tolerances are very tight and the entire hitch has rubber bushings. Breaks down to 3 easy lift pieces to remove from truck bed. I did post a review of it here somewhere.

As of the RV show a couple a weeks ago, the Solitude and Momentum get the pin box, but not the Momentum M-Class. It will be a pleasant surprise if they add it though.

Our previous SOB fifth wheel chucked a LOT, especially on concrete highways with expansion joints. The nose of the RV looked "bow heavy" in relation to the back of the F250 tow vehicle. A fellow camper suggested air bags for the truck so we had them installed and aired them up to the max and what a difference! It seems they leveled out the truck vs. the trailer and it made a world of difference in the chucking department. I'm not sure whether it matters, but our hitch was a Companion slider (short bed truck)and the RV's pin box was the standard one that came on the RV. YMMV. Good luck. Phil

The IS probably smoothed things out a bit, but the biggest difference it makes is in the ride and tracking of the trailer. Chucking is not hitch-related, either. It's a function of inertial forces. The noise may be hitch related. An air-ride hitch or dampened pin box fixes most all of it (we use a Demco Glide Ride pin box).
