Love this Hitch!

Purchased to connect our new 2016 Keystone Bullet 269RLS travel trailer to our Ford F150 Platinum Screw 4x4 with 3.5L Ecoboost, Max towing and 3.73 rear end. I installed it myself, following Blue Ox's instructions and after watching several Youtube videos. I also had to purchase a 3/4" drive breaker bar, as well as a couple of 3/4" sockets to tighten the ball and hitch bolts and I still need to find a place to get these torqued to the official specs, but they are really tight now, for sure. I took all the measurements, including the truck heights before and after and I believe I have it installed perfectly. Now the real test is how the towing experience is with it--my wife and I just towed our Bullet over 600 miles, some of which was on twisty, hilly two-lane roads and most of it on I-10 and I-95 with lots of semis blowing by and we encountered some pretty windy conditions and a thunderstorm. The hitch worked perfectly through all this--no sway and no noise. Backing up with it connected is also a breeze. I am now very confident pulling our trailer with this hitch. Oh, yes, I also had a camper right next to us that was using the Swaypro and asked him how he liked it--he said it works great, too. I definitely recommend the Blue Ox Swayer hitch!

THE BEST WDH AVAILABLE AT THIS PRICE

16 F150 Platinum Crew Cab Towing 33' Coleman 295QBS I bought this WDH because my previous beach trip (400 miles round trip) with my round bar WDH had me with double white knuckles while driving in 15-20mph winds on the way back home. I couldn't drive over 50mph in that wind without scary sway. Plus only 60 max without winds & it would sway once trucks came by. My 200 mile trip to the beach was a complete breeze(no winds). I pushed it up to 70 mph just to try it out(65mph for most of ride) & there was no sway, even with tucks going by. My trip back home I had (15-20mph) morning winds to deal with again. There was some slight sway at the 60mph mark with winds but the system auto corrected the slight sway by itself. I was able to drive the whole way back with one hand on wheel & no white knuckles. This WDH is very quick to hitch & unhitch. I will recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro to anyone in need of a WDH. I'm glad I did my research this time around. The price is cheap for the job that it does

OH, THE JOY OF A CLEAN HOOK-UP AND EZ FOR ANYONE TO PERFORM!!

Gotta love the simplicity of the installation. Previously used a "F*stw*y E-Two Round Bar" WDH and the fine tuning was time consuming and annoying. Brackets up, brackets down, washers in, washers out...all requiring almost complete disassembly to perform! Oh, and the noise! I thought for sure something was breaking. I guess that metal-on-metal grinding doesn't bother some. Never could get the brackets to stay straight up and down even though it felt like about 800 ft. lbs. of torque on those self-locking nuts. Then there was the greasy, messy ends of the round bars to deal with. Free at last!! The chain link system of the SWAYPRO is a dream come true. The 'preset' tilt of the ball is a dream come true. The 'no mess' bars are a dream come true. The thick powder coat finish is a dream come true. If one ever feels the need to remove the clamps, well, one bolt and they're off. A dream come true. What a brilliant design and SO much easier to operate than other WDH. I heartily recommend. YES it really is worth that much.

great hitch

We bought a new 2020 Airstream Caravel and this was the hitch they recommend. I bought the BXW1000 SwayPro 1000 lb tongue weight. The first thing you need to know is when you hook up to your trailer. Attach trailer to ball of truck. lock in place ,then raise as high "AS POSSIBLE" very important to raise as HIGH AS POSSIBLE. That way you load your torsion bars. Lower trailer and roll.

Super heavy duty

I bought this sway bar to use with my 24ft. car hauler trailer to be pulled with my 2017 F150 Ford 4x4 pickup. The trailer is relatively light being all aluminum with an empty tongue weight of about 500 lbs. I purchased the 'up to 1000 lbs" Blue Ox and never had a bit of pulling the trailer loaded with my car from Dallas to Toronto. You could feel the pressure when an 18 wheeler went by which is never comfortable, but the trailer never swayed. There is A LOT of pressure required to engage and lock in the sway bars, but over all the installation was straight forward and about what you would expect. Instructions were clear and specific. I have never used sway bars to pull trailers before so I can not compare to other brands, but if you want to be confident that you have what you need, this is the one. A bit pricey, but worth it.

It's been great, I'd buy it again.

This has really been worth the money. We tow a 30 foot travel trailer with an F150. The trailer is about 8000 lbs. I like the adjustability of this hitch at the chains. I I have more tongue weight, I can increase the tension on the spring bars to compensate for it. It does a good job controlling sway. We have towed through the smokey mountains without any trouble. Good judgement is key when towing a large trailer through the mountains, even with good tow equipment.

Great product

Get help moving this once it's delivered. I followed the directions to the letter and it was a perfect fit from the get go. I've towed with now a couple of times and seems to be working as described. The weight distribution is great. My tow vehicle dropped evenly (front/back) by less then 1/2". Doesn't get better then that. The anti-sway seems to.work well. I've tried to shimmy the tow vehicle and my trailer corrected immediately.

Worth the price

I was using a less expensive round bar style WD hitch with sway bar. When I bought and installed this BXW-1000 hitch, the difference is amazing. I tow a 32 ft 7800 lb max weight travel trailer with a 2013 Ram 1500 2WD quad cab, and this hitch eliminates sway. Towing got a lot less stressful.

I love this hitch

I love this hitch. It handles my 30 ft Starcraft weighing in at 6500 lbs. Holds great even in high winds it keeps it straight as an arrow no sway less bounce in any at all. Thanks Wish I would have realized they made one for the class 5 hitch with a 2.5 inch shank but the adapter works to.

Wow what a difference.

Great product highly recommend it for people who pull trailers a lot. There's other products that work fairly well and cheaper but this one is worth the investment. I love this one because of some design features. It's built in sway control makes the other products obsolete, it's quiet, easy to install and transfer from one trailer to another. Have found nothing undesirable about it! make sure you order the one with the correct weight rating for your application.
