Why the ProPride 3P® Hitch Is the Ultimate Trailer Sway Control Hitch
If you’ve ever felt your trailer push your tow vehicle sideways, fought the steering wheel in crosswinds, or slowed down out of fear when a semi passed you, you already know the truth: trailer sway is more than uncomfortable — it’s dangerous.
Most hitches promise control. Very few deliver true trailer sway elimination.
The ProPride 3P® Hitch is not just another anti-sway hitch. It is a fundamentally different trailer sway control hitch designed to eliminate sway at its source — not mask it after it starts.
What Is Trailer Sway — and Why It’s So Dangerous
Trailer sway occurs when side forces cause your trailer to pivot left and right behind your tow vehicle. Wind gusts, passing trucks, road crown, uneven pavement, or sudden steering inputs can all trigger sway — even with “properly distributed” loads.
Once sway begins, it can:
- Rapidly escalate
- Overpower steering control
- Lead to jackknifing or rollover
- Cause severe driver fatigue and panic
The uncomfortable truth is this: weight distribution alone does not eliminate sway.
Why Traditional Anti-Sway Hitches Fall Short
Most conventional anti-sway hitches rely on friction to slow movement. While friction-based systems may reduce sway in ideal conditions, they are inherently inconsistent.
The Limitations of Friction-Based Sway Control Hitches
- Friction is reduced by rain, dust, and road grime
- Performance changes as components wear
- Friction systems react after sway begins
- Panic maneuvers can overwhelm friction instantly
This is why many drivers still experience white-knuckle towing — even with popular anti-sway hitches installed.
What Makes the ProPride 3P® Hitch Different
The ProPride 3P® Hitch does not rely on friction. Instead, it uses Pivot Point Projection™ technology — a patented geometric solution that changes how your trailer moves behind your vehicle.
Rather than allowing the trailer to pivot on the hitch ball, the ProPride 3P® projects the pivot point forward, closer to the rear axle of the tow vehicle.
The Result
- Trailer sway is eliminated, not reduced
- Side forces no longer create leverage
- The trailer naturally follows the tow vehicle
This is the same principle that makes fifth-wheel towing so stable — without requiring a fifth-wheel truck or trailer.
How Pivot Point Projection™ Achieves Trailer Sway Elimination
With a traditional ball hitch, the trailer pivots from behind the rear axle. This creates a lever arm that allows sway to build momentum.
With the ProPride 3P® Hitch:
- The pivot point is moved forward
- Side-to-side oscillation cannot develop
- Steering corrections remain predictable
- Emergency maneuvers remain controlled
This is true trailer sway elimination, regardless of wind, road conditions, or speed.
Key Features of the ProPride 3P® Trailer Sway Control Hitch
Patented Yoke Design
The solid steel yoke prevents the hitch ball from pivoting inside the coupler — eliminating the mechanical freedom that allows sway to start.
Heavy-Duty Pivot Point Projection Links
Massive 3/4" thick control links provide unmatched strength and precision under load.
Integrated Weight Distribution Jacks
The ProPride 3P® distributes weight with accuracy and ease, improving braking, steering response, and overall vehicle balance.
Adjustable Hitch Bar
Multiple offset positions and tilt adjustment ensure proper trailer leveling across different tow vehicles and setups.
Why the ProPride 3P® Hitch Is a Smart Investment
Yes, the ProPride 3P® Hitch weighs more and costs more than conventional anti-sway hitches. That’s because it’s built with more steel, more engineering, and more capability.
What You Gain
- True trailer sway elimination
- Reduced driver fatigue
- Increased confidence at highway speeds
- Improved emergency handling
- Long-term durability and resale value
Many owners report traveling longer distances per day with less stress — because they’re no longer fighting the trailer.
Who Should Use the ProPride 3P® Hitch?
The ProPride 3P® Hitch is ideal for:
- Travel trailer owners
- Long-distance RV travelers
- Drivers towing near vehicle capacity
- Anyone tired of white-knuckle towing
If safety, control, and confidence matter to you, this is the hitch designed to deliver them.
Final Thoughts: Stop Managing Sway — Eliminate It
Trailer sway doesn’t need to be tolerated. And it doesn’t need to be “managed” with friction or compromise.
The ProPride 3P® Hitch is the most advanced trailer sway control hitch available because it eliminates the problem entirely. When sway can’t start, towing becomes calmer, safer, and far more enjoyable.
If you’re serious about towing safety, there’s no substitute for true trailer sway elimination.
