To remind you ... you DID NOT ASK whether those with experience with the Propride 3p hitch or it's cousin were satisfied with their purchase Below is your original post

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 longer heavier trailer in the near future too. We're planning on south Texas to St. Louis later this summer and I'm looking forward to not fighting the trucks as they pass me on the interstates.

It simply said you ordered it and then asked the very generic question Whadya think? and IMO the two pages of info you got belong right where they are and answered EXACTLY what you actually asked. In fact a response that one uses XYZ and believes a hitch like the Propride is a waste of $$$ would be completely on topic to the actual question you asked.

Were you going to cancel your order if everyone said it sucked? Besides, this would have been one lame thread if everyone just announced their love affair with their hitch like it sounds like you were hoping for. Don't bite the hand that feeds you(;

Well, I love mine. I still wish I had a better TV but now driving through Ellensburg in WA (always windy) is finally enjoyable.

I will be ordering a PP hitch as well. In the grand scheme of things, the cost is not that much imo

I bought my Propride hitch right after I bought my 35+ foot Jayco Eagle. We were planning a 6000 mile trip to Yellowstone. Wyoming had some severe crosswinds during that trip and in barely felt them. I would definitely buy another one. I have a dually TV now and the Propride makes traveling a breeze.

Knowledge is power. The more you have the better. This design like all of them is not perfect. They all have some downsides. The catastrophic hitch failures ARE rare, but they ARE real as well.

You get your knowledge and weigh the good with the bad, then make your decision, spend your money and take your chances.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I love our PP -- worth every cent!
The peace of mind and confidence that it provides is truly priceless.

It's a forum.
