Towing Safety 101: How ProPride Eliminates Trailer Sway for a Stress-Free Drive
31st Mar 2025
If you’ve ever towed a trailer, then you know trailer sway can be one of the most nerve-wracking experiences you can encounter on the road. Whether from wind gusts, passing trucks or uneven roads,it can become dangerous quickly.
The good news is, ProPride’s cutting-edge hitch technology removes sway entirely, so your towing experience is smooth and stress-free. Now let’s get into the why sway occurs and how ProPride’s 3P Hitch keeps you safe.
What Causes Trailer Sway?
Trailer sway occurs when outside forces exert side force on the trailer, causing it to sway significantly. Common causes include:
-
Passing Trucks — The air pressure from large vehicles can send your trailer all over the road.
-
High Winds — Crosswinds can unsettle your trailer, making it difficult to control the steering.
-
Bumpy Roads — rough bumps and dips can disrupt the balance of your trailer.
-
Bad Weight Distribution – If not properly loaded, trailers can increase sway.
Friction-based sway control is used in conventional hitches, and this is only effective in reducing sway, not eliminating it completely. This is why the 3P Hitch by ProPride is superior.
How ProPride Gets Rid of Trailer Sway
Unlike a traditional sway control system, the ProPride 3P Hitch keeps sway from the very source of the problem, using Pivot Point Projection (PPP) technology. Here’s how it works:
✅ Moves the Pivot Point — The ProPride hitch's pivot point is located closer to the tow vehicle, unlike most stable hitches where the pivot point is at the trailer coupler. This prevents side-to-side movement from the start.
✅ Perfect Alignment — Keeps the trailer aligned with the tow vehicle at all times.
✅ Enhanced Control & Handling – You don’t have to steer constantly to keep it in line.
Advantages of the ProPride 3P Hitch
In contrast to only dampening sway, ProPride removes the presence of sway altogether. This allows for:
? Safer Journey – Eliminate the risk of trailer sway that can cause an accident.
? Smoother Long Distance Travel → Reduce driver fatigue by minimizing the need to control sway.
? Additional confidence behind the wheel — Even during windy weather or congested roads.
