Towing a trailer can open the door to unforgettable road trips, spontaneous getaways, and hard-earned adventures—but not without its challenges. If you’ve ever felt a surge of anxiety from trailer sway or struggled to keep control in crosswinds, you know how critical your hitch system really is.
That’s where the ProPride 3P Sway Eliminating Weight Distribution Hitch makes all the difference. This isn’t just a piece of towing equipment—it’s the result of serious engineering designed to eliminate sway before it even starts, giving drivers real control, safety, and peace of mind on every journey.
In this blog, you will learn:
Let’s explore the science that transforms towing from stressful to smooth.
The ProPride 3P Hitch is known for two standout features that redefine sway elimination: its patented pivoting technology and its customizable mechanical design.
At the core of the 3P system lies a breakthrough in towing dynamics—Projection Pivot Point (3P) Technology. Rather than allowing the trailer to pivot at the hitch ball, like traditional systems do, this technology moves the effective pivot point closer to the tow vehicle’s rear axle.
This shift in geometry means the trailer tracks more directly behind the vehicle, resisting sway instead of reacting to it. You'll notice an immediate difference when driving through windy conditions, descending hills, or being passed by large vehicles.
Precision matters when aligning your tow setup.
The ProPride 3P Hitch includes a fully adjustable stinger that adapts to the height of your tow vehicle's receiver, ensuring perfect alignment and smooth articulation.
The yoke assembly distributes weight across both sides of the trailer evenly. This contributes to better balance, reduced strain on the tongue, and more stable towing over long distances.
While many hitches promise stability, ProPride delivers it in a fundamentally different way.
Most conventional hitches rely on add-on friction bars or dual-cam systems to reduce sway. These systems can work, but they wear out over time and may need to be disengaged in certain driving situations, like backing up.
ProPride eliminates sway without friction. Its integrated design—rooted in geometry rather than resistance—means no friction bars to maintain, no cams to adjust, and no sway to begin with.
With traditional systems, dialing in the correct tension and angle can be a headache. The ProPride 3P’s setup is both more intuitive and more precise. The adjustable stinger allows for accurate height alignment, while the yoke ensures that weight distribution is even and effective.
This design removes much of the trial and error, making setup faster, safer, and more reliable—especially valuable for those who frequently tow different trailers or switch vehicles.
Choosing the right hitch affects not only how your trailer tows, but how you feel behind the wheel.
The shift in pivot point completely changes the towing experience. You’ll feel as though the trailer is moving in harmony with the tow vehicle, not lagging behind or reacting with delay.
This is especially noticeable when encountering sharp turns, passing trucks, or driving in gusty weather. With the ProPride 3P, these situations become manageable instead of nerve-wracking.
Safety is where the ProPride system really earns its reputation.
With sway eliminated at the root, your risk of loss of control drops dramatically. The even distribution of weight also improves braking efficiency, preventing dangerous fishtailing or jack-knifing.
You’ll be better equipped to handle sudden stops or evasive maneuvers, keeping your passengers and cargo protected.
Towing doesn’t have to be stressful.
The ProPride 3P Hitch removes the unpredictability from the equation. There’s no constant correction needed, no white-knuckled drives through high winds, and no second-guessing if your hitch is doing its job.
Instead, you get consistency, comfort, and confidence from the first mile to the last.
Behind every ProPride 3P Hitch is a commitment to smart engineering and safer towing. Its advanced pivot design, adjustable mechanics, and built-in sway control make it the most complete solution for trailer owners who demand more from their hitch system.
Understanding how it works isn’t just helpful—it’s empowering. You’ll be better prepared to make informed decisions about your equipment, recognize why stability matters, and appreciate the peace of mind that comes from hitching up with technology that’s truly ahead of its time.
Whether you're a weekend explorer, full-time traveler, or utility hauler, the ProPride 3P Hitch is more than just a tool—it's your partner in safer, smoother, and more enjoyable towing.

Even if you understand the mechanics of the ProPride 3P Hitch, some questions are best answered with clarity and detail. Here are common inquiries we hear from savvy trailer owners like you:
Unlike friction-based hitches that react to sway, the 3P system proactively prevents it by shifting the pivot point closer to the vehicle’s rear axle. This geometric change eliminates sway rather than trying to suppress it.
Yes. The 3P Hitch is adjustable and designed to accommodate a wide range of trailer sizes and tongue weights, making it ideal for RVers, campers, and utility haulers with more than one trailer.
Absolutely. One of the benefits of the ProPride system is its seamless integration with reversing maneuvers. You don’t need to disengage sway control when backing up, unlike with many friction hitches.
No. With routine checks and basic lubrication, the 3P system maintains peak performance. Its durability and design mean fewer adjustments and less wear than traditional systems over time.
Most users report successful installation within 1.5 to 2 hours. The system comes with detailed instructions, and once set up, it’s easy to adjust or transfer to another tow vehicle if needed.
Absolutely. The safety, comfort, and long-term value make it a smart investment for anyone towing frequently or over long distances. It's not just a hitch—it’s peace of mind.
