Thanks all. The reason I ask is that I'd like to understand how different hitches feel.
I've personally owned and used the following setups:

I was planning on using a Blue Ox SwayPro, but I've read of nervousness on-center due to no forces applied there. That got me wondering how different sway control approaches feel - on the highway, in town, backing into campsites, etc.
What hitch do you use, and how does it feel?

- 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD + Rockwood 2605 + Hensley Arrow
- 2006 Toyota Tundra regular cab + North Trail 21FBS + ProPride 3P
