The primary difference is that the Hensley design uses a 4-bar linkage to eliminate sway. Rather than allowing the trailer to pivot on the hitch ball like a regular WD hitch, the 4-bar linkage locks the movement of the trailer on the ball and uses geometry to create a "virtual pivot point" that is forward of the rear axle of the tow vehicle, making a TT tow like a 5er.
I had the ProPride hitch which is the "upgrade" over the Hensley Arrow. Both of those hitches are fantastic hitches and do what they are designed to do but towing a 5er, which is what I have now, is heads and shoulders a better experience than with either of those hitches.
