Is there a difference between Flex-air and Air-ride hitches?

On Amazon, I have noticed Flex-air trailair and Air-ride trailair hitches. they look very similar. Is there a difference?
  • My bad....it's the Tri Glide that was discontinued. The Flexair is its replacement.

    AirRide is the current model air bladder
    / shock absorber pinbox.
    FlexAir was an air bladder pinbox as well, but also had a rubber cushion, I guess, similar to the morryde pinbox. I think this model has been discontinued.

    PS.... if you're looking to buy, prices do change daily. I paid $939 including tax
    and shipping last August from Camping World. They had the best price.


    Does one perform better than the other? I can find both of them on Gander outdoors.
