I bit the bullet today and ordered my new ProPride 3p 1400 hitch. Whadaya think? DW grabs the dash every time the trailer sways with the other friction bar sway control and we're thinking of getting a...

Ron, I understand your thoughts on this. Has anyone actually measured the horizontal forces applied to the receiver during a sway situation with a Propride or Hensley hitch? Have any engineers performed any sort of engineering analysis of the expected forces during a sway event with one of these two hitches.

If the side forces with a conventional hitch are less, why do folks have to make steering corrections to a tow vehicle when towing a trailer with a conventional hitch and do not need to make them when towing with a ProPride 3P or Hensley Arrow?
Aren't the forces that cause the steering correction coming from side forces on the trailer and transferred through the receiver?
