Well the web is now full of very favorable reports of the Hensley hitch and its only competitor the Propropdie 3P.

Depends on what you consider a competitor. If you are considering only hitches that project the pivot point then the statement is true. If you consider high end hitches that work very well and control sway instead of just mitigating it with a friction based design then you are missing the PullRite hitch. It doesn't need to project the pivot point as it is located about nine inches behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Nor does it have a lot of linkages and not much to break and it works well. Basically it is a fifth wheel type setup underneath the vehicle, not above the bed. It also is heavy at around 400 pounds and can outcorner any Hensley, ProPride or any other friction based hitch. It has another commonality with Hensley and ProPride as it can be considered a wallet flattening hitch. It would have been nice had you considered all three as they are the three high end sway control hitches. Everything else pales in comparison to these three.

I purposely left out any mention of Pullright hitches as Propride and Hensley they are the most widely used among this class of hitch. Most importantly they very much the same design competing against each other.

I also have no business speaking about the Pullright because;

1) I have no physical experience with it.
2) I am not at all a fan of the HUGE design, thus already biased
