Blue Ox Sway Pro reviews

We may be changing trailers. New trailer will be 30 ft. and 10K GVWR (Arctic Fox). Presently am towing with a Reece Dual Cam.
I am open minded and am looking at the Blue Ox Sway Pro.

I would really appreciate any advice, experience, pros or cons on this hitch.
Thanks.

I just bought the Blue Ox Sway Pro 2 weeks ago and left on a 1200 mile trip a few days later. I had a Eaz-Lift round bar with two sway controls and it worked ok but I felt more movement than I liked. I read as much as I could find about the Equalizer Hitch and Reese Dual Cam and the Blue Ox. I finally decided on the Blue Ox and am very happy with it. I called Blue Ox twice and asked them questions and was always put through to a technician right away. They recommended the 750 lb bars for mine and it was the right choice. I had very little to no movement at all in heavy winds (25-30mph) or from passing semi trucks. I was hesitant to spend the $600, but it feels much more solid and is more enjoyable to drive. The thing that really sold me was reading about the set up of other hitches. I had the Blue Ox set up in about an hour and didn't seem to have all of the set up adjustments that I read about on other hitches with tilt etc. Anyway, it works very well for my set up and I highly recommend it.

Current trailer is 10K GVWR. My Blue Ox is simple, clean, quiet, and effective. As mentioned the hitch head is heavy, but heavy duty.

I tow a 35ft (bumer to ball) TT that weighs around 9,500lbs (recently 9,990lbs for a 2k mile trip) and use a Blue Ox. I had no problems the entire trip except in heavier crosswinds in OH.

I agree with all the thoughts that gtkato posted above too.

and have used the Blue Ox Sway Pro on my last three trailers. Best of WDH above...most user friendly, no loose parts, roller chain, and zero sway, no noise while backing up, powder coated and no greasy mess, infinite adjustable, and built like a tank.
only down side is that the head unit is pretty heavy.
