BOTH PERFORM LIKE NO OTHER.
This is simply not true. The PullRite hitch performs even better, does not 'project' the pivot point, and essentially functions similar to a fifth wheel hitch under the bed of a truck. It also accommodates a 70 degree radius and has higher tongue ratings then ProPride or Hensley.
I also take some exception to a few other observations you made. You seem to be overly concerned with ProPride matching the Hensley prices. I have seen used Hensley hitches on Craigs List for $800 or so. A 'reconditioned' hitch is also 'used' and you upped that cost to $1795 for yours. Used is used, one just has been through the shop and few items updated. $900 worth of inspection and some new parts???? Really? It needed that much work after the first owner gave it back to Hensley???
You also indicated the Hensley is easier to transfer between trailers. This is only if the height of the tongue is the same; as the ProPride's stinger can be adjusted for height while the Hensley cannot. Hensley's non adjustable stinger is a little more elegant at the expense of functionality. Everytime Hensley sends out a new stinger to accommodate the new demand, there is shipping and handling costs and in some states sales tax. I would much rather have an adjustable hitch, pay for it once and not mess with exchanges.
As long as Sean or any Hensley employee meets the expectations of the customer who cares what he/she does on social media? You bought a hitch, not looking for a buddy to pal around with.
I am with you on the chains issue. I don't like the screw towers. Hensley wins on that one. Other than that both hitches are premium. Both work much better than any friction based hitch, but neither will match the performance of the PullRite.
