Towing safety doesn’t start on the road — it starts at the hitch.

If you’re looking for a smooth, stable, and sway-free towing experience, your hitch system is the most important investment you’ll make. The ProPride 3P hitch stands out with patented technology that eliminates sway and evenly distributes weight, making it one of the most trusted systems on the market.

In this blog, you will learn:

  • How Pivot Point Projection eliminates trailer sway at its source

  • Why adjustable weight distribution gives you better towing control

  • What makes ProPride 3P safer and more cost-effective over time

Let’s explore how the ProPride 3P keeps your trailer — and your family — safe.

Understanding the ProPride 3P Hitch System

Before we dive into the features, it’s important to understand what sets the ProPride 3P apart from other hitches. It’s not just a hitch — it’s a complete anti-sway and weight distribution solution engineered to eliminate the most common towing problems.

The Pivot Point Projection Advantage

At the core of the ProPride 3P system is Pivot Point Projection (P3) technology, a patented innovation that changes how your trailer behaves on the road.

Rather than letting the trailer pivot at the ball — where sway begins — the 3P system projects that pivot point forward to near the rear axle of your tow vehicle. This eliminates sway at its source by allowing the trailer to follow the tow vehicle in perfect alignment.

Why It Matters:

  • No need for external sway control devices

  • Eliminates fishtailing in crosswinds or during passing

  • Boosts driver confidence, especially at highway speeds

With P3, you’re not just controlling sway — you’re eliminating it.

Built to Last: Premium Components

Every component of the ProPride 3P is built for durability and performance under pressure.

From the heavy-duty hitch bars to the reinforced spring arms and adjustable hitch head, the entire system is crafted from premium materials that resist rust, fatigue, and deformation.

Key Features:

  • Powder-coated steel components for long-term resistance

  • Precision-machined trunnion bars for better load handling

  • Spring bars with tension control to adapt under load

  • Backed by a lifetime warranty for peace of mind

This is a hitch you can rely on — not just for the next trip, but for the next decade.

Adjustable Weight Distribution: Tailored Control

Every trailer and towing vehicle combo is unique, and ProPride 3P is designed with that in mind.

Its adjustable hitch head allows you to fine-tune the weight distribution, so you can achieve the perfect balance no matter what you're towing.

Benefits of Adjustable Weight Distribution:

  • Levels your towing setup to prevent sagging

  • Improves steering and braking responsiveness

  • Reduces wear on rear suspension and tires

  • Adapts easily to different trailers or load types

With ProPride 3P, you’re always in control, not at the mercy of your load.

Benefits of the ProPride 3P Hitch System

Choosing the right hitch is an investment in your towing safety, comfort, and long-term costs. Here’s what makes the ProPride 3P stand out from traditional hitch systems:

1. Enhanced Safety

Trailer sway is one of the biggest hazards in towing, and ProPride’s Pivot Point Projection system eliminates it completely. Combined with balanced weight distribution, this hitch drastically reduces the risk of jackknifing, loss of control, or instability on the road. It's a major upgrade in peace of mind.

2. Better Driving Experience

Driving with a trailer doesn’t have to be stressful. The ProPride 3P delivers a smooth, quiet ride by preventing sudden sway, bounce, or steering corrections. Whether you're cruising the highway or navigating winding roads, the difference in comfort is immediately noticeable.

3. Long-Term Durability

The 3P hitch is made from premium-grade, powder-coated steel and other corrosion-resistant materials designed to handle extreme loads and rough conditions. With fewer wear points and no need for external sway components, it holds up better over time than most systems. This is a hitch built to outlast your trailer.

4. Cost-Effective Over Time

You might pay more upfront for a ProPride system, but it saves you money down the line. There's no need for separate sway bars or friction devices, and its longevity means fewer replacements. It’s an all-in-one investment that simplifies towing and minimizes ongoing costs.

5. Versatile & Customizable

Every towing setup is a little different, and this hitch is designed to adapt. With an adjustable hitch head and spring bars, you can fine-tune your setup to match your tow vehicle, trailer, and load type. It works whether you're hauling a lightweight camper or a fully loaded travel trailer.
