First Tow With a Blue Ox

So I went and towed a 33' Imagine brand travel trailer for a friend from Los Angeles to Patterson CA...he bought more trailer than he had tow vehicle. The rig came with a Blue Ox W.D. Hitch set up for his less than adequate tow rig. It looked close enough ball height wise, so I just hooked it up and wound the tension up dropping 4 links. I was very happy with the way it towed. Never had any sway, but conditions weren't really bad. There was some pretty good side to sided gusts of wind up on Tejon Pass but that was about it. I don't remember being passed by any big rigs and getting vacuumed. I guess the Blue Ox gets the anti sway from the angle of the hitch head causing the friction on the spring bars at the pivot? Anyway, worked real nice but I will keep my good old DrawTite W.D.and friction sway bar for a while longer. I have other things to spend money on.
  • A friend of mine has the Blue Ox and likes it. I'm so happy with my Reese Dual Cam I may never use anything else. BTW, that's a nice TT
