Good and Bad about Blue Ox Sway Pro
I just purchased a 2013 Cougar 32RBK travel trailer and I am towing it with a 2006 Ford F350 Crew Cab With the 6.0 Powerstroke. I am looking at getting the Blue Ox Sway Pro and would like to here the ...

PP & Hensley project the pivot point...the Pullrite's pivot point is actually
moved towards the rear axle
Nothing is perfect and nothing is purely bad
I still like the PullRite, but it's issues have not been resolved in my mind
Am liking this Blue Ox Sway Pro much more as the details come forth
Like the trunnion bar pivot design, but do not like friction embedded into it's
pivot point.
The stoutness of their design makes the others flimsy and always hearing of how
they wore or cracked the socket portion of the head
Friction at the pivot point where the leverage arm is waaaaaaaaaaaay down there
by the end of the trunnion will have the amount of friction required HIGH and
the wear from that will be fast
'IF' there is to be a friction component, then I'd make the head top trunnion flange much larger
and have the friction material on top of the trunnion bar. As the trunnion bar
forces increase, so does the level of friction. Or some such design
The folks who like the quick setup/take down of the Andersen should noodle this one
Unhook looks like seconds for the chain and do see that my own tools would be
way better than their supplied wrench
Trunnions come out with a twist and pull after the chains are relieved of tension
Some questions and one is the amount of head tilt they dialed into the casting
which then is NOT adjustable...guess there will be some which will require more...but
then bigger or higher rated bars would then transfer more weight that head tilting
is all about (not enough distance to tension the bars on a other WD systems)
Never like to drill into a stressed member and the clamp-on interesting, but
don't like the potential of sliding along the tongue member. That can be solved
with a cross member locking their clamp on chain tension-er
The more I noodle this one, the more I like it !
