I went with the Propride and I like it a lot. I added a handle to the top of the stinger and it doesn't seem all that heavy to me
One of the airstream forums has a great comparison of the two hitches. When comparing them side by side, the Hensley looks like it was cobbled together by a beginning welder while the PP looks to have automated welds and a finish you get from something factory produced
Whichever you buy will give you a great towing experience

Thanks Linc, do you happen to have a link to that forum?

Sean of PP is absolutely unparalleled in customer service and support, too.
That's one of the reasons I decided to go with the 3P...Sean answered my call on a Sunday evening, and has been super quick to respond to emails.
My personal experience with Sean is that he was quick to respond to my emails and questions.........until I had actually purchased the hitch and then communications went silent.
I had some questions and issues that I was looking for help with shortly after installing and first using my 3P. I sent several emails and left Sean a voicemail - all went unanswered.
I know a lot of folks rave about the customer service from Sean, but my experience was not good.

James C. Hensley was awarded a patent for the design of a hitch which could be used with a surge brake
However, part of the new mechanism which would allow for use of a surge brake was not incorporated into the PP hitch.
Therefore, I would say there is no merit in the claim the 3P was designed for lighter trailers with surge brakes.
Additional information can be found in this post.

While I agree for the most part both hitches are identical. I do prefer the smaller stinger of the HA.
When I used the Hensley I really disliked moving the stinger just because it was so heavy.One of the great things about the HA and PP is there are not a lot of bars and things to carry and move around. Unfortunately you must still handle the stinger
I really would not like a heavier larger stinger. Since most of us don't change vehicles regularly the adjustable stinger is really not beneficial. The fact hat it is heavier and bulkier makes it a deal breaker.

I would not however pay a $500-$700 premium for a HA over a PP. If HA would not reduce there price, I would take the savings and go with the PP.

Additionally, is there any merit to the claim that the Arrow is the better choice when towing a heavier trailer, whereas the 3P was designed for lighter trailers with surge brakes?

If you were going to buy another hitch system in this class today, which would you choose?
