my reese 15k makes the same noise .no idea what it is

 

I think you are just hearing the king pin moving around in the hitch. There has to be a slight amount of play in there or you would not get it unhitched at times, nor would you get it to lock if everything was not lined up perfect. They all will give you a little clunking.

 

Some movement of the pin is normal.....besure to check your frame attacting bolts these can loosen and shift with age/useage
