I had an inexpensive hitch that just didn’t work well on my travel trailer. I could never get it to control sway. Now with the ProPride 3P sway control hitch my problem is solved. ProPride’s hitch combined with great instructions really make a difference in getting “dialed in”. To my knowledge there is no finer hitch on the market today!

Fantastic hitch. Easy to install with booklet snd YouTube videos. No sway at all. Throw pillows on sofa did not fall off while driving 60-75 mph on interstate, in the mountains with wind and 18 wheelers all around. Great company and people

Propride outstanding company and product Propride is in an outstanding company to do business with and I would give them 10 stars if I could. Example: I had a question while installing on a Saturday afternoon my driveway not being level and the instructions requiring a level install service. I Left a message and had a call back within 20 minutes. From Brent the general manager informing me that the trailer just needed to be parallel with The driveway and the truck.I was expecting a call back but no way was I expecting that call to come from Brent. I was able to install the hitch on my 7,500lb travel trailer without incident. The hitch made a huge difference in the towing of the vehicle virtually no sway and a rock stable tow. Almost as if it was a fifth wheel. My tow vehicle is a 2017 Ford Expedition and with the propride 3P hitch installed I was able to evenly distribute the weight over the two Expeditions axles. It took several trips through the weigh station to get my adjustments fine tuned but then I was able to mark them on the torsion bar jacks allowing me to repeat it as needed. No other weight distribution hitch that I know of allows you to fine-tune those adjustments as you can with the propride. While I was making the adjustments, at a truck stop, one of the truckers who was refueling his truck noted that he had never seen a hitch that would allow you to fine-tune the axle weights as you could with the this hitch. He said he'd been towing for 40 years and the importance of evenly distributing the weight over the tow vehicle cannot be overstated and yet so few hitches allow that adjustment. Most weight distribution hitches make a fixed Weight distribution and treat all trailers as if they weighed the same. Again this is one outstanding company and product

The first thing I will say is that when I called with questions about my order A REAL PERSON answered the phone and not some computer press this number or that number recording. I was then transferred to Brent who went above and beyond any expectation I had to take care of me. When he told me he'd call me back…..he did! The details of what my problem was don't really matter. What they DID to ensure a customer was taken care of is what matters. ProPride has earned a customer for life based on just their customer service. If I need something and they sell it then that is where I will buy it from. When it came time to go pickup my brand-new trailer, I took my recently deliver, still in the box, 3P with me so I new I would be safe pulling it home. Several hours after giving the hitch to the dealer they came to me and told me that my hitch wouldn't work, but they had the equalizer hitch there and it would work and they’d sell that to me. I had heard that dealers lack the knowledge about these hitches, but the instruction book is so clear and easy to follow, I thought they would be able to install it with no issues. I was wrong. After lots of talking and texting with Sean Woodruff on a Saturday afternoon/evening and sending him pics I was able to get them to make the proper adjustments and it worked great. Just another example of great customer service from an amazing company on a Saturday evening! Sean made sure we got our trailer and made it home safe. Driving home in the dark and in the rain and with a much larger trailer than I've ever pulled, and it pulled like a dream! Thanks Brent. Thanks Sean. Thanks ProPride. You have proven all the positive reviews about customer service right.
We upgraded from another WDH with a good reputation, but we still got some sway at highway speeds. Since installing the 3P, the ride is steady and we have no sway. The weight distribution is also more effective and the truck feels more stable. I would not tow with anything else at this point and I would encourage anyone who pulls a trailer, especially with a half ton truck to get one of these.
We got the hitch after a lot of research into it. We took our first trip through an area where the wind is usually on a daily basis 40-90mph and can make the trees bend in half. We drove through there in my 1/2 ton Silverado pulling a 7500 pound travel trailer, We were passed by semi trucks and we had absolutely no sway. It was amazing. It performed amazing and we didn’t even move at all when the semi trucks went flying by us.

My Grand Design 2800bh was the proverbial tail wagging the dog when I first got it. The propride turned everything around. Pulls straight and safely, even during a catastrophic blowout. Check your tire pressures kiddies. I’m pretty sure it could have been way worse without the propride. Seriously.
After purchasing our first RV ( Work and play 25WQB ) in Myrtle Beach SC and towing it back to ATL with just a tow hitch and nothing else, I was seriously about to sell it after that trip it was so bad. My F250 king ranch was having a difficult time with a very unstable TT behind it. Once we got home and all had some time to recover from that unpleasant experience, I hopped onto the web and did some research about how to get this rig to stabilize. There were a bunch of products with good reviews and obviously the less expensive products had way more reviews than the the more costly ones. I was intrigued by the philosophy and presentation of the Pro Pride product and the fact that the theory was backed up by solid examples and a physical demonstration of how it worked. It was a bit more expensive but it gave me the confidence to place my business with them. The parts arrived on time and as advertised. The instructions were pretty good and the support I received from the team was top notch. They treated me with the patience that I needed being a first time RV’er. The install was good and everything turned out as expected. We are down in Florida enjoying our first RV vacation. The The ProPride 3P system works extremely well. The trailer was very quiet behind the truck. An absolute pleasure to tow. This is a piece of technology that actually works.

Very happy with the quality of the parts and excellent instructions. My husband and I installed it ourselves. We had to call customer support for some help and they answered our questions on a late Saturday afternoon. Very helpful. We love how much better the camper pulls with this hitch.
I’m not inclined to do product reviews, but this is simply incredible. I had regretted buying a travel trailer and was considering going to a larger truck and fifth wheel setup, thankfully I found this system and it has fixed all of my issues. It’s a bit of work to get setup and I won’t lie a minor inconvenience when hooking and un hooking up. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who wishes they would have bought a fifth wheel to keep their bumper pull trailer under control.
I wanted to wait until I had a few tows in before I wrote a review. First off this hitch does exactly what it is advertised to do. I am not a novice to towing I have owned 5 trailers before this setup all with the same issues of varying degree with what I call trailer wobble especially when trucks pass by. I have a 2018 Ram Cummins 2500 and a 2019 Jayco 28BHS. The trailer weighs in around 8500lbs with 1000 lbs of tongue weight. I moved to the ProPride from the Reese straight line with this truck and trailer which to it’s credit worked but the metal where the cam arms bolt stretched allowing slop and sway. Now to the ProPride... first off setup was a breeze. The hitch was on and rolling down the road in 2 hours time. I have also read stories about troubles hooking up.... for me hooking up is the easiest process I have ever had with a trailer. The towing experience is second to none.... no sway.... no noise... trailer follows you perfectly.... no problems with ProPride “bump”..... backing is unaffected... I won’t say that you don’t know the trailer is behind you I still feel it there is no eliminating the fact that you are pulling a 34’ 8500lbs billboard down the road, but at least with this hitch you are in complete control zero surprises trucks can pass all they want with no white knuckles. My family and I tow up and down the east coast and this has been the single best investment for towing I have made yet! Definitely worth the cost for the piece of mind.

Their are only two hitches on the market that actually eliminate sway. The ProPride is the significantly improved version of that original hitch. It works fantastic completely eliminating all sway. The hitch itself is very high quality and it’s actually easier to hook up than a standard WD hitch where you have to remove and install the heavy bars every single time. The customer service is also simply amazing. They are truly there for you even after the sale. The ProPride 3P is quite simply the finest hitch on the market backed up by stellar customer service.
I have waited to submit my review of the ProPride 3P-1400 until I had an opportunity to conduct a full travel. I'm pleased to say the ProPride 3P-1400 performed as promised. So far we've traveled more than 2500 miles using the 3P hitch. Our configuration is...2018 Ford 150 Lariat with 3.5 EB Twin Turbo towing a GD Reflection 297RSTS 29' Travel Trailer (10K gross weight). We've traveled through...IA, MO, AR, TX, OK, NM, and AZ. We experienced very windy conditions (Feb 2020) with wind gusts of 25-40 mph. There was only one instance where I felt unsafe and needed to press the trailer brake switch in my truck cab. Considering there were other 5th wheel and semi's swaying all over the road, I feel the 3P hitch performed as promised. No sway, but I did experience a lot of push from the wind and trucks as they passed. Maybe a heavier truck would have lessened this. As for the 3P installation, it was a bit challenging and time consuming to get dialed in. My situation may have been a little unique since I had a lighter tow vehicle and needed to re-distribute the weight to my front axle. The RV dealer and I spent many...many hours adjusting and placing calls to ProPride (Brent). After we finally got the WD dialed in everything fell into place. The only concern I have is the amount of tension I have to put onto the WD Jacks (i.e. 9 inches). Hitching takes approx. 15 minutes since we have to raise the WD Jacks so high...but my wife and I have Un-Hitching down to less than 10 minutes. We are getting better each time we have to Hitch/Un-Hitch. All-in-all....I would have to say, the 3P was a good purchase and would recommend it to others.
We bought the 3P-1400 to go with our new 2020 Airstream Flying Cloud 27FBT. This was our first travel trailer and the larges trailer we had ever towed. People seem to thing the ProPride hitch is expensive, but compared to the cost of the trailer and the 2019 F-150 that we use to pull it, it was an easy and smart purchase. We left Michigan on Nov 15, 2019 at the end of week of 12" of snow and below freezing daytime temps with lows in the single digits. The Airstream followed the F-150 like it wasn't there. No sway; not from wind, potholes, or passing semi's. The other "concern" that we saw comments about was hitching and unhitching. Maybe we've just had beginners luck, but that has not been an issue for us so far. It's a fabulous product.

Very happy with my propride. I have a 37’ trailer and use to pull it with a blue ox hitch and it’s a night and day difference. I can now do the posted speed limits at all times now. I have always pull with a 3/4 ton diesel, so the truck was never the problem. This setup is very stable now!
This hitch completely changed the trailer towing experience. I am stretching the limits of my truck to pull my 36 foot trailer and had a lot of push from trucks and buses. This hitch removed nearly all of that problem. I can now drive highway speeds comfortably. I an totally and unequivocally pleased. I will be a customer and fan for life.

Have a 33’ toy hauler and went on 400 mile one way trip before the hitch was installed and white knuckle driving at 10 mph below 60 mph limit to keep it on the road. We carry a Goldwing Trike in the back. After installing the Pro Pride Hitch we have taken the same trip in a quarter faster time and also took a 1800 mile trip one way to Florida with no problems. This hitch has improved traveling a 100 fold and tell other campers when they see it what it does. Thank you for a more relaxing trip.
Set out for a short 100 mile test run today. Rig is totally level thanks Brent for all your help. Some light wind on the road, heavy traffic but many areas rolling 65+ and held steady even when getting passed by big rigs all was awesome.

Sean and ProPride have changed towing. I’ve had a handful of trailer hitches, or so I thought. ProPride 3P IS a trailer hitch! You don’t even know it’s behind you working.... when it’s working you don’t even know you’re pulling a trailer. Perfect weight distribution, eliminates sway, so easy to use and assists not aggravates backing and maneuvering. If my insurance company wouldn’t mind I would let you take my truck with my 10K trailer out for a test drive... you would be amazed... I would have to remind you there’s a trailer behind us. ProPride 3P is simply the best. And for proven customer service... well Sean is industry known for providing the best customer service there is. Don’t settle... make every towing trip so enjoyable and give your white knuckles a rest. Don’t guess about others, get the ProPride 3P and know you’re got the best.

First time buyer of a RV, was told that the Yukon would be more then enough for the trailer. Drove the trailer home and noticed right away the amount of sway I got and thought this wasn't right. Talked to the dealer and many times and purchased new tires and made many adjustments to the purchased hitch. No positive results I contacted Sean at Propride and he assured me that his hitch would solve my concerns. I ordered the hitch and installed and on Memorial Day I contacted Propride not expecting any results on the holiday and Sean calls me back within minutes to offer help. For the next 2 hours we worked together over the phone and test drives to dial this hitch in. I now can pull this trailer with no concerns and very happy with this hitch. No regrets!
I would like to give a little feedback on my trailering experience. First, I would like to say I am new to this travel trailer experience. I purchased my TT and I drove 175 miles one way to pick it up. This was my first time pulling a trailer that was more than 5000lbs. On the way home I was terrified when an eighteen-wheeler would pass me on the highway. I was wondering what was I thinking purchasing something that would make me a nervous wreck. When I got home I knew there had to be a better solution than the sway system that was currently on the TT. I was not going to hook the trailer to my truck until I found a solution to my white-knuckle experience. I called the folks at Propride and told them about my experience and they recommended the hitch and I ordered it right away. Brett was great during installation I called several times with questions and if he did not answer he called back within minutes. The Propride hitch is the REAL DEAL. To make a long story short the folks at Propride are AWESOME! The hitch performs as advertised. Customer services are second to none. GREAT PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICES! Thanks to the guys from Propride.
Wow. That’s how I would describe the driving experience with my Imagine 2500RL trailer hooked up to my 2014 F-150 using the ProPride 3P hitch. Wow. For starters, getting the stuff was interesting because FedEx is just funky. 4 packages start out at ProPride. They are picked up together. 2 packages arrive on Saturday and then 2 others arrive on the following Monday because they took the scenic route that had a stop in Salt Lake City. I blame Obama. After the boxes all got here, the installation process was straight forward. My installation spanned 3 days because, well, FedEx. I had to relocate the propane tank holder, a wire tie and the emergency brake plug. No big deal. Everything went together without a hitch. Well, with a hitch installed without any hitches.... I give. I’ll just stop. I then spent an exorbitant amount of time trying to hitch up before I tried silicone spray on the stinger. Let’s just say that making the stinger slick will save time. First drive in town and on the Freeway: Wow. Again. Previously I had used the Andersen weight distribution hitch on this set up. Prior to this trailer and truck, I had used the Andersen on a 1998 Ford Explorer pulling an R-Pod. It worked. It was never ‘white knuckle driving’, as I have read. The combination of trailer and tow vehicle was pushed around a bit, on both set ups, going down the Freeway. Noting dangerous but it did not feel, planted. It felt very movable, had to constantly be corrected, etc... For those that think spending this much on a hitch isn’t worth it, I would argue the hitch is worth its value. The planted, sure footed feeling going down the road is hard to describe. The wind was blowing perpendicular to my path of travel on the Freeway and it barely affected me. Before I would have had to correct the driving as the wind came and went, like when you drive under overpasses. The ProPride hitch set up was only slightly .. nudged, gently leaned against, by the wind. The trailer did not wag the truck. It took the driving experience of trailering to a whole new level. My trailering experience has never been about speed. I do 60-ish and stay in the slow lane. But not having to stay so intently focused on the path of travel because of all the slight corrections I needed to make, made the trailering experience much more serene. Normally I would be dead tired after trailering to a camp site. All that mental focus on just driving, was tiring. Now that has changed. The trailer and truck are in sync and seem to not be trying to find ways to slightly wiggle or move out of my chosen path of travel. Well done, Sean. My negatives... 2 First, there is no discussion about weight distribution. How high to raise the jacks, how high is too high on the jacks, when to shift to another hole, etc.. Based on years of measuring and weighing my setups, I just transferred my past procedures to the 3P. But someone without... experience, understanding or new to the trailering idea, would have to find knowledge out there. Some where. Rev up the Google, in other words. Words in the manual might help clarify the weight shifting/distribution set up a bit. Second, why is everything black? The painting is flawless. But it is black. The stinger is welded beautifully. But it is black. The hitch box is a heavy beast and does an amazing job. But... yes And to finalize my ‘but it is black’, my 2014 F-150 back up camera has the picture clarity of looking through an ice cube. The black stinger, black hitch box and stupid black line Ford puts in the middle of the stupid screen to help guide me, further blackens my view. Argh. Enter electric lime green duct tape. A splash of electric lime green around the hitch box opening and Viola : I have contrast. Just a thought.. powder coat the hitch box opening a different color? Might be cost prohibitive. My fix cost $6. :) Beyond those 2 negatives, this hitch is a marvel. For anyone thinking about making the plunge, to copy a phrase: DO IT. You will not regret it. Take the time to set it up. Read the directions, watch YouTube regarding installations, if that is for you, and take your time. You will be amazed at the results. You too will have the Wow feeling when pulling a trailer.

Normally I would be dead tired after trailering to a camp site. All that mental focus on just driving, was tiring. Now that has changed. The trailer and truck are in sync and seem to not be trying to find ways to slightly wiggle or move out of my chosen path of travel. Well done, Sean. My negatives... 2 First, there is no discussion about weight distribution. How high to raise the jacks, how high is too high on the jacks, when to shift to another hole, etc.. Based on years of measuring and weighing my setups, I just transferred my past procedures to the 3P. But someone without... experience, understanding or new to the trailering idea, would have to find knowledge out there. Some where. Rev up the Google, in other words. Words in the manual might help clarify the weight shifting/distribution set up a bit. Second, why is everything black? The painting is flawless. But it is black. The stinger is welded beautifully. But it is black. The hitch box is a heavy beast and does an amazing job. But... yes And to finalize my ‘but it is black’, my 2014 F-150 back up camera has the picture clarity of looking through an ice cube. The black stinger, black hitch box and stupid black line Ford puts in the middle of the stupid screen to help guide me, further blackens my view. Argh. Enter electric lime green duct tape. A splash of electric lime green around the hitch box opening and Viola : I have contrast. Just a thought.. powder coat the hitch box opening a different color? Might be cost prohibitive. My fix cost $6. :) Beyond those 2 negatives, this hitch is a marvel. For anyone thinking about making the plunge, to copy a phrase: DO IT. You will not regret it. Take the time to set it up. Read the directions, watch YouTube regarding installations, if that is for you, and take your time. You will be amazed at the results. You too will have the Wow feeling when pulling a trailer.
From the pre-sale information, to the actual purchase and shipping, it couldn't have gone smoother. Then when everything arrived, no parts were missing and it was all packed so nicely! Moving on to the install itself. The instructions were so informative, along with the videos and direct support from Sean himself for the few questions I had...mainly because I worry too much...not due to lack of documentation :) Then, the first drive...and WOW! It was amazing. I had so much more confidence and control. Just a night and day experience and game changer! Thank you Sean and the whole team at ProPride involved from start to finish!

Now that I have made some adjustments to the hitch bar height and jacks I am totally satisfied with the way my trailer pulls and handles the wind, what a difference this hitch made, thanks to Brent for all the help working out the kinks. Great hitch and great customer service!
I have been using the Propride for about 3 years now. The setup was a bit intimidating with all the pieces that came. But after reading the instructions and several phone calls and text to the company installation was actually easier then my last WD hitch. We have made a lot of long pulls to the Florida keys, Orlando , Stone Mt, and several other places. Our camper weighs in at about 12,000 pounds and a tongue weight of 1700 lbs. during those trips our pull vehicle was a Ford Excursion. Using the Propride these trips were so smooth and trouble/worry free. Now fast forward to now I am almost finished with our longest pull yet. New Orleans to Santa Fe to Carlsbad and back to New Orleans. I have added the straptec to our hitch and removed the jacks. This has been a great addition to the hitch. They were even more simple to install then the jack towers. As anyone would know that has pulled thru these locations the wind can get kinda rowdy. We never noticed it. The camper is now so well behaved that it is dream to pull. We have had a blowout this time and there was never a issue with the RV getting out of control, a big sway or anything. I believe that with this hitch and straptec properly installed there is nothing better. I know there is a lot of people out there who look at the price and turn away. Think about what is in your tow be Hicks with you. In an out of control sway event your truck stays attached to the camper wether it’s rubber side up or down. I think this hitch is the best thing on the market. I do have one issue with it. I can’t always dissconnect from it as easily as I can a ball style hitch. But once you learn how ( watch you tube ) it’s a price of cake.

At first I thought I’d just buy some chain and extend it myself. I decided to buy the extension kit instead. To get everything I needed in one package was convenient and probably the same cost as trying to purchase the items on my own.
These are just a few of the hundreds of pictures from our first big trip with our camper. Thanks to the 3P I pulled our 34' camper a little over 2,000 miles (round trip) from northeast TX to the Grand Canyon across the infamously windy I-40 without any worries. The hitch worked like a champ and gave me peace of mind the whole way. Passing semis or strong crosswinds were no problem! If I could go back to January this year when I was first researching hitches, I would buy the 3P again without hesitation.

No problem with install, just follow directions. Coming down the mountain from Fancy Gap, Va, to North Carolina on I-77 there were high wind warning posted. My trailer did not even twitch coming down the mountain. I was very pleased (and somewhat surprised as hard as the wind was blowing).

I bought the ProPride 3P hitch to tow a 2019 Airstream 25' International Serenity RBT with a 2018 Ford F-150 with 3.5L Ecoboost and 10-speed transmission. The hitch was installed and set-up by Colonial Airstream in Lakewood New Jersey. I then towed the rig 1630 miles to Houston, Texas. I have little towing experience, so can't compare to other hitches, but I found this hitch to be easy to use, to tow smoothly and quietly, and the trailer had no noticeable sway or stability issues at Interstate Highway speeds with wind, rain, and tractor-trailer traffic.

After 3 months waiting we finally took our maiden voyage to an RV resort in east TX. This is our "practice" trip before heading to the Grand Canyon in a few weeks. I drove through some pretty strong cross winds on Interstate 20 as a cold front pushed its way south, and I'm thrilled to report the hitch worked like a champ. No sway whatsoever. It was a very smooth ride, and I got great satisfaction when my wife stated she didn't even notice whenever an 18 wheeler would pass us. :)
We traded tt and with the adjustable stinger we were able to install the pro pride and continue safe no sway travel. After arriving home ordered spacers to snug everything up. They came with the pro pride and we didn’t need them with the old tt. I lost them and ordered new ones— they were shipped with no delay and a really good price.
It seems impossible to find a high quality product these days, with a company behind it that is of equally high quality. It is so rare in fact that comments that sound like the one I am about to make seem disingenuous. I guarantee you there is nothing disingenuous about my experience with propride. The 3P hitch is made very well. It does everything that it is advertised to do, which is a heck of a lot! Customer support is top notch, they even responded to my text messages within minutes while I was doing my install. I can't say enough good things about my purchase/install experience and about the product itself. This whole experience has exceeded my expectations at every turn. It is very rare that I can talk like this about a purchase experience. Because of that, I want to be sure that my voice is heard, great products and great companies deserve to shine above the rest. Great job ProPride team, Thank you!

I used to be an avid camper back in the early 2,000s. I was towing a 12K pound 35’ travel trailer with a Ford F250 diesel and a Hensley Arrow hitch. I remember how comfortable we were when pulling that trailer around the country. We started enjoying RV life again last year, after being out of it for about 15 years. Our current setup is a 7,500 pound 31’ travel trailer, a Ford F250 diesel, and a ProPride 3P hitch. Before buying the ProPride 3P, we were using an Equalizer hitch. While we had no serious issues with the Equalizer, I always felt that there something different or wrong when pulling the trailer. Towing did not feel as I remembered it felt when towing with a Hensley. I could feel the 18 wheelers pushing or sucking the trailer when passing, I could feel the cross-winds, and when I looked on the side mirrors, I could see the trailer swaying. The swaying was very small, and the Equalizer friction-based sway control was working, but we were not as comfortable as we used to be. I had this funny feeling, I did not feel completely safe, so I started looking for other options. That is when I found that the great Jim Hensley designed hitch was improved in the form of the ProPride 3P. As soon as we took our first trip with the ProPride 3P, we recognized the comfort and relaxation that we were missing. The towing experience between the Equalizer and the ProPride is night and day. The Equalizer is a sway control hitch, the ProPride is a sway elimination hitch. ProPride’s design makes the trailer and the towing vehicle one; sway is eliminated. We no longer feel the 18 wheelers, or the cross-winds, or the little sway that was bothering me. The ride is now very comfortable, and we feel safe and relaxed. The ProPride 3P also shines when it comes to weight distribution. The weight distribution jacks allow you to easily fine tune your tongue weight distribution. Since there is no pivot point at the hitch ball, there is no longer a seesaw ride feeling. The ride is very smooth. We are so happy with the ProPride 3P that we are now planning a 2020 trip across the country. That is a trip I was hesitant to take with the Equalizer hitch. Lastly, customer service from ProPride is the best. Where else can you call or text the company president to get your questions or concerns answered? Sean Woodruff answers every email or text message I send him. Sean stands behind his company and his product and makes you feel like you are part of the ProPride family.

If there ever was a product that holds up to it's claims it is the ProPride Hitch. We decided to use the ProPride because we are using a 1/2 ton truck for our towing needs. We have towed 200+ miles with this hitch so far and it keeps the trailer right in line with our truck and we have not had any sway problems like before with our first hitch. The installation was time consuming and tough, but if you watch enough videos and have all of the right heavy duty tools it can be done. I would suggest that you remove _everything_ from your front A frame before starting. (Cables, propane, e-brake) The hitch also adds more length to your trailer, so you may need chain extensions and 7-way extensions. We found that zip tying the 7-way cable up to our jack keeps the cable out of the rotation of the hitch and not being pulled out of the truck socket. Keep the stinger lubed with dry lube and hitching-up or out is a breeze. I often find myself looking around for other things I should be doing since my old hitch had so many chains, sway bars, pins versus the ProPride. Anyone who is looking for a quality product should look into the ProPride hitch.

After a couple of questions, re-positioning a propane line and leveling things up we were off and RVing!! Response time from Sean was fast and extremely helpful. After about 1100 mis and 10 hook/unhook the ProPride is functioning great!! We hit the load level sweet spot on 3 tries with Sean’s range suggestion for out rig!! Thanks to Sean and the ProPride team!!
Tech support was great. Brent provided most of it with Sean giving a final blessing. I was able to get my front axle loaded weight equal to my unloaded weight. I find it easier to align the stinger to the trailer than my old ball mount hitch.

I bought a pro pride hitch to go along with my 218 Ram 2500 and my 2019 Airstream Globetrotter 25fb. The experience from the beginning was great! I read all of the reviews and figured that if I am spending this much for the rig, might as well make sure I have the best hitch too. Anyway, I’ve towed the airstream for about 1000 miles and it’s been flawless. I’ve had no issues hooking up, got unhooking. Just make sure to use some dry lube on the stinger before hooking up. Otherwise the unhitching process can be unnerving! (Stinger can get « stuck » in the receiver) every camp ground I go, people seem to ask about the hitch and I recommend it every time!
Just installed my P3 travel trailer hitch and completed my first test drive in 30 mph side wind gust. It performed quite well, and while the trailer does still move about some from the wind, I felt in much better control of driving my tow truck, even in these high wind gust. My prior sway control hitch would constantly redirect my tow truck with every gust of side wind or passing truck. This P3 is a vast improvement over my prior hitch and feel much more at ease driving my setup. The product is well thought out and installing was pretty straight forward. The spacing for my setup was a bit tight to position my gas bottles (and it’s cover, ~1/4” clearance on each side) between the TT electric jack and the P3 tension bar jacks. The one issue I had was the dimension to the ubolts for the tee tube/bar, which was noted to be at 22” from the hitch center. I had to drill holes in my bottle tray for the ubolts which I put at the 22” dimension, to discover that the yoke (once installed) was hitting the tee bar and not in its center, so had to move the ubolts to about 20.5” from the hitch center (so 4 more holes in the bottle tray) for the tee bar to center properly with the yoke. All else worked out good. I like the tension bar jacks, makes it easy to set the load distribution properly. It is a little tricky to unhitch, especially with air suspension load leveling that came on my tow truck, will get better with practice.
I had never towed anything ever and we upgraded from a tent to a hybrid. The day it was picked up was windy and I could feel the truck and trailer getting pushed around. I knew that if I was going to tow this trailer I needed to invest in the best hitch I could. Installation was about 2 1/2 hrs and the test tow (I wasn’t driving) went great. First easy wind weekend I gave it a try. It’s just me and my 10 yr old daughter. I was able to back up the stinger into hole first time without and issues, we had no trouble securing the hitch or adjusting the weight distribution jacks. All hooked up we off we went. We went up hills, down hills, bumpy roads, curves, and then the wind started to pick up. We got home and the wind had gone from 2-3mph to 20mph and I never felt it. While I knew there was a trailer behind me and we experienced some minor porpoising (will make some minor adjustments) I always felt in complete control. We got home and it was time for my first ever backing up a trailer. I felt the hitch reacted slower then the I expected based on watching video of how to back up with a conventional hitch. I felt like I had time to react better but since I have never backed a trailer I can’t compare. I will say that it didn’t take long and we had the trailer not only in the driveway but on the side it belonged of the 2 car driveway. The unhooking was just as simple as the hooking up. I’m so glad I invested in this hitch as it doing its part in taking the fear out of towing for me.
