Well I am not going to get into a heated debate here, because these premium hitches are good hitches… and while I haven’t owned one, I have driven units with them… I know how popular they are with their users but am not on board with the just set it and forget it slant usually given them…
I just can’t discount the stories of crashes after unexpected bad sway while using the HA that I have read… or knowing that the Hensley bump is not a myth and the performance of the hitch can be dependent on proper leading trailer brakes to achieve that good performance… I can’t forget the video of a trailer swaying or the one of the hitch bouncing from side to side while going down the road… nor can I forget the poor response some of these people got while trying to figure out what was wrong…
The One thing that really sticks in my craw is the claimed companies threats and subsequent disappearance for the aired credible grievances in public forum and/or in the blog world about them…
Also knowing that a well set-up DC will not sway either even when dropped off the shoulder and pulled back on or in high side winds… something I have tried… actually set up correctly with a well-balanced trailer the DC acts to prevent sway before it starts through the incremental frictions changes of the cams… the equalizer I have never owned or used to know…
So the HA and I assume equally as well the P3 are great hitches that do an excellent job at controlling sway, but in my mind they fall short of utopia and maybe even the high accolades showered on them, but the is just a single opinion in the sea of many…
I'm not questioning what you say about the HA or 3P but would like to read the reviews and complaints you talk about. Mainly because everything I've been able to find was mostly positive except for the hook/unhook thing. Where can I find them?
Thanks
