All right, everybody, let's dive into it.

Trailer sway. And why the ProPride 3P hitch might just be the answer to those white-knuckling, semi-truck passing moments we all dread. You know the ones I'm talking about. And today we're going straight to the source, their website. No marketing fluff, just the nitty-gritty on whether this thing lives up to the hype.

First impression?
I'm liking their style. They're not messing around. They're throwing specs at us right out of the gate.
Yeah. 195 pounds, made in the USA. Lifetime warranty. Definitely not shy about it. That weight, especially 195 pounds, that's not your average flimsy hitch. This thing sounds like it means business. Built like a tank. Absolutely. You're not just tossing this in the trunk? Might need a forklift and a couple of gym buddies to wrestle this thing into place, right?

But it makes you wonder, what's all that beefiness about? What are they compensating for?

Well, to get into the why of the ProPride 3P, we gotta go back to the beginning, to the OG of sway control, a guy named Jim Hensley.
Ah, Jim Hensley, a legend. Back in '72, he cooked up this prototype, this totally unique hitch design.
'72. So we're not talking about some newfangled gizmo here.
Nope. This thing's got history. Hensley's design, it's been through the ringer. Different companies, different versions, each one building on the last, getting a little more refined each time. And the ProPride 3P, that's like the top of the mountain. The culmination of all that work, right?
Exactly. The most advanced version of his vision for towing. Smoother and safer. So we're talking serious pedigree here. A company that clearly believes in its product. Lifetime warranty. That speaks volumes.

But I gotta ask, what sets this apart from a regular weight distribution hitch? You know, with the friction bars? 'Cause their website, it seems to be throwing some shade in that direction.
They're not holding back, are they? Busting sway myths, that's what they call it. And myth number one, that good old weight distribution, that'll solve all your sway problems.
Think again. Weight distribution, it's important, don't get me wrong, but it's not the be-all and end-all. Like, you wouldn't just slap a band-aid on a broken leg and call it a day.
Exactly. And what they're getting at here is why those friction-based systems, they just don't cut it. Because friction, it's fickle. A little rain, some dirt, even just wear and tear over time makes you think twice about those long hauls, right?
Yeah. All of a sudden, the thing you're relying on to keep you steady, it's not so reliable anymore.
So how does ProPride, how do they sidestep that whole mess?
They're not fighting friction, are they?
No, they're going around it. They're outsmarting it. Pivot point projection. That's what they call it.
Sounds kind of mystical. Like, what is that, hitch sorcery?
Right. Basically, picture this: your trailer, it's like a pendulum swinging behind your vehicle, right? The longer the pendulum, the wilder it swings. What the ProPride 3P does, it's like it brings that pivot point closer. So the whole thing is more compact.
Yeah. More stable. The trailer, it starts to move more with the truck, not after it. Instead of fighting you every step of the way.
Exactly. So, less sway, smoother ride, less stress.
Sign me up.

And speaking of less stress, they also tackle this idea that you need a monster truck to tow safely.
The big truck myth, what's the deal with that?
Yeah, it's like just because you have a bigger truck doesn't change how trailers behave, right?
Physics is physics.
Exactly. And that's what they're saying. The ProPride 3P, it can give you that same level of control, that feeling of the truck and trailer as one unit without needing to trade in your whole vehicle.
That's huge because not everyone needs or can even afford a massive truck just to tow their trailer, right? And they're emphasizing that with the ProPride, you can get that confidence, that control across a wider range of vehicles.

And remember those benefits we were talking about before? Longer trips, higher speeds, less fatigue. It all comes back to that—reducing sway, making the whole experience smoother, more connected.

But, gotta be honest, this is all coming straight from ProPride, right?
Yeah, they're gonna highlight the good stuff. So how do we know if it actually lives up to the hype?
Well, they have a whole section for that. Customer reviews. And let me tell you, they're not holding back. And it's not just a handful. We're talking pages of reviews. An army of happy campers with an average rating of five stars.

Okay, ProPride, you've got my attention. But let's hear what these folks are actually saying.
Yeah. Let's dive into the real-world experiences. This is where it gets good. Real people, real stories. And some of these... wow. Just wow. Like Ryan, he's towing this monster, a 34-footer with a half-ton truck. Ambitious. And he's reporting zero sway. Zero.
Now, that's impressive. If you're towing anything that big with a half-ton, that's saying something, right? That's usually a recipe for 'hold on tight, honey, it's gonna be a bumpy ride'.
Yeah, but Ryan's out there probably sipping his coffee, one hand on the wheel, totally chill.
Living the dream, right?

And then we've got Ken. 3400 miles, that's his ProPride journey. Crosswinds, headwinds, semis trying to blow him off the road. He says, smooth sailing the whole way.
That's what we like to hear, isn't it? That feeling of conquering those long hauls. No drama, just pure enjoyment.
Exactly. And look, these are just two stories. But that common thread you see in all the reviews? It's that feeling of confidence, of control that the ProPride 3P gives you—that peace of mind, knowing your hitch has got your back no matter what.
Absolutely. It's about enjoying the journey, not fearing it.

Couldn't have said it better myself, but I gotta be real—this level of engineering, it's an investment. And I know it's easy to get sticker shock.
It's true, these things aren't cheap, but—and this is big—they offer a 60-day, no-risk guarantee.
60 days? Hook it up, put it through the wringer, test it out, see if it lives up to the hype.
Exactly. And if you're not happy, back it goes—full refund. They're practically begging you to experience the difference.

So where does that leave us? If you're serious about ditching the sway, about enjoying those long hauls, stress-free, the ProPride 3P—it's worth a serious look. Decades of engineering, lifetime warranty, and a whole community of happy campers singing its praises. They're not just selling a hitch. They're selling peace of mind.
And that's priceless.

Well said. And there you have it, folks. Another deep dive in the books. If you're hungry for more insights, more gear reviews, you know where to find us. Until next time, happy towing, everyone.
