1. So what's all the fuss about towing........

   Posted by Andy Quinn on 15th May 2012

   Purchased a 30ft trailer, then heard all the stories about towing nightmares, watched all the scary videos on youtube, so I did my homework and invested in the ProPride 3p hitch.
   I've never towed anything before and I drag the 30ft, 8000lb, 10ft high trailer with my Nissan Armada and it's a piece of cake.
   So all the scary stories are made up and all the youtube videos are fake.....they must be!!!Safe towing difficult, scary and some kind of highly skilled talent....not in my books.
   Like I said,what's all the fuss about, get one, tow like a pro.....BRILLIANT

2. 2200 miles on a swag setup and no sway-I90 chitown-to-Portland, Or

   Posted by bill marshall on 15th May 2012

   Took 2 gear heads about 3 hours to put it together and get'r dun-cold turkey. straightforward and good instructions. high quality stuff, and the best tow I have had. This thing is expensive, but I feel it makes towing my trailer safer. Nuff said.

3. ProPride Hitch Performance

   Posted by Steve Huebinger - TX on 15th May 2012

   I'll try to keep this brief....While on a trip to the Northeast last fall, we and friends (also pulling an Airstream using a PP) were traveling thru Pennsylania on a "scenic" back road doing about 50 mph. We were decending a slight hill and began to round a curve when all of a sudden there was a line of traffic stopped dead in the road ahead of us. (We were coming into a little town come to find out, and the warning signs in PA are less than what we're accustomed to here in TX.)
   
   I slammed on the brakes as hard as I could while thinking maybe I should swerve to the Left and go around, but deciding if I was going to have a wreck, I'd rather hit the last car in the line in the rear, than have a head on collision. Holding the brake pedal down as hard as I could, I was bracing for a collision with the car, all the while thinking I would also be hit in the rear by my friends.
   
   Fortunately, the rig just stopped, with no sway, no wiggle, no nothing, just stopped. My friend behind me said he was also bracing for a collision with us, but he was also able to stop also with his foot on the floor.
   
   While talking about the event at the next rest stop (after changing our shorts), we both noted how well the trailers behaved in what was an all out, panic, emergency stop.
   
   While we both wished it had never happened, we were both very thankful to be towing Airstreams equipped with ProPride hitches.
   
   I was towing a 28' Classic with a 3/4 ton GMC, and my friends were towing a 31' Classic SO with a 3/4 ton Dodge. I've been towing trailers of some kind or another since '71, and nothing I have used to date performs as well as the ProPride hitch.

4. Exceeded My Expectations

   Posted by Lyle Myers on 30th Apr 2012

   I tow a 9500# Keystone Springdale with my F150 SuperCrew Ecoboost (max tow package). All my weights on the axles are below the maximums including GCVW but sway control was the challenge I could not overcome...until now.
   
   I have just the shake down run (30 miles) for comparison but during the run I had a slight cross head wind and several tractor/trailers pass me while doing 65mph on the Interstate. After the 3rd truck passed I stopped watching and waiting for the next one and enjoyed the drive.
   
   I have to tweak the WD jacks to optimize the ride and handling but the first attempt gave me great results. Once I get the WD's dialed in the ride should be even more amazing.
   
   We have about 6000 miles planned this year in travel and with the ProPride in place, we are looking forward to those trips. Thanks again for all the information and staying in contact.

5. WOW... It WORKKS... AND SAVED GAS TOO!

   Posted by Mike Matulewicz on 10th Apr 2012

   Sean, thank you for your support, while installing the hitch. My trip back from Florida gave the new hitch a thorough work out. Many transport trucks, gusty side wind conditions , and the smokey mountains. My new ProPride hitch did exactly as you claimed. No sway at all!
   
   What I didn't expect was the 10 to 15% savings in gas. On 1 tank of gas went from Orlando Florida to Atlanta Georgia pulling a 30 foot, 7500lb trailer with my ford f150 with a 4.6 v8. Wow! On the level, or even with a slight incline, my truck was in overdrive at about 1700rpm at 60 mph which gave a computer read out gas consumption of 13 liters per 100 kilometers ( 17 miles per gallon) That of course is almost ideal conditions and at highway speed. My actual consumption was higher than that due to mountains, head winds etc... I notice that the truck seemed much less labored and was in overdrive much more of the time. A guess-timate is I saved about $75.00 in gas on the return trip of 2250 kilometers ( about 1400 miles). That I didn't expect. I think it is due to the trailer wheels not scrubbing the speed off like an ice skater uses the sideways motion to stop.
   
   Once again, thank you for your excellent advice and now have to e mail 8 people the good news of my propride experience.

6. GREAT product!

   Posted by Barbara Murphy on 6th Mar 2012

   I tow a 6,800# Crossroads Cruiser with a heavy half ton Ford F150. We made our first long trip last Thanksgiving, from Houston to the Ouachita National Forest - 10 hours. It's a beautiful place but getting there was nerve racking. That was my frist white-knuckle experience. We started talking about trading in our TT for a 5th wheel. That bad.
   
   Convinced there was another way, I found ProPride and the 3P hitch. Sean patiently answered all my questions before we bought the hitch. He answered my phone calls over a weekend when we installed the hitch (which went without a hitch, no pun intended).
   
   We took our camper out for it's maiden voyage with the 3P last week. I can't begin to explain the difference the 3P makes in the handling of the rig and the ride. Big trucks passed us with literally NO SWAY. No kidding. Wouldn't believe it if I didn't experience it for myself. No sway. I drove with one hand on the wheel. Never did that before even with our first much smaller trailer.
   
   I need to bring the WD jacks up another 1-2 inches to fine-tune the ride. That should get all the bounce out but it's amazing as is.
   
   I can't say enough great things about the company, the product, the service and Sean. You guys have changed the travel trailer experince by improving our safety and comfort.
   
   Thanks very much.

7. BEST Trailer Hitch On The Market!!!

   Posted by Ben L. of Fallbrook,CA. on 18th Jan 2012

   After owning two TrailManor folding travel trailers and using an Eaz-Lift WDH,sway was never a concern for me.However,when I decided to purchase my 2012 Tango 27BBS travel trailer and tow it with my 2005 Toyota Tundra Access Cab 4x4 V8,I knew that a better hitch was a MUST.
   
   After doing a TON of research,I bought the 3P hitch.This hitch makes my 128" wheelbase Tundra and 30' 9"/6300 LB. travel trailer feel like one solid unit.There is NO sway whatsoever under any conditions.I would NOT have attempted to pull a TT this heavy and long with ANY other hitch than the Pro Pride 3P.
   
   Hitching and Unhitching is much easier than I expected.I like the fact that it stays permanently attached to the trailer.No more messing with greasy spring bars,snap-up brackets and chains.The turning radius is GREAT.This hitch gets all kinds of attention from other campers.I am VERY HAPPY with my 3P hitch.
   
   Sean has always responded to my emails and phone calls in a timely manner with professional advice and the hitch arrived when promised.I HIGHLY recommend the Pro Pride 3P hitch!

8. Great Hitch!

   Posted by David Sturdivant on 17th Jan 2012

   What a difference this hitch makes in handling, no more feeling like the travel trailer is in control instead of you. I pull a 29ft Keystone with a 2005 Ford 1-50 4x4.
   
   Last trip home from the beach (180 miles) we almost had a rear-end collision when the driver in front of me stopped just as soon as a caution light came on. I swerved to the right to avoid a mess. The hitch made me feel like I was in compete control.
   
   Sean thanks for a great product and with your support for the couple of questions I had during installation.

9. Worth Every Penny

   Posted by Brody Jones on 4th Jan 2012

   I was a little worried when I first purchased the hitch that it might not live up to my expectations. Well I was wrong it exceeded my expectations. People have said this hitch is sometimes hard to hook up. This is so far from the truth. I hook my trailer up now by myself quicker than I did with my ball hitch and it is easier. I have a 2011 Tacoma and pull a 28 ft TT. No sway at all I drive right past big trucks in the fast lane now with no hesitation. I would buy this hitch anytime. Well worth every penny spent.

10. ProPride is Outstanding

    Posted by Mark and Rose of Grand Blanc, Michigan on 30th Oct 2011

    We have a 30 foot trailer and have used an equalizer hitch in the past until we bought the ProPride. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Well worth the money invested!! You can't put a price on safety.
    
    We used the ProPride hitch this past camping season and are so happy with the decision we made to purchase it. The equalizer hitch, we previously used, did not control swaying of the trailer as much as we thought it should have. Our trailer would sometimes sway in windy weather, quick course corrections on the expressway and often when large semi trucks would pass us. With the ProPride, there is no swaying whatsoever. My wife no longer grabs the door handle for fear of swaying as when we had the equalizer hitch. Sean and his staff were exceptionally helpful with the purchase as well as the installation.
    
    The ProPride hitch is a wonderful hitch that everyone should consider. Additionally, the ease of hooking and the unhooking of our trailer has become much easier than the previous hitch we owned. ProPride, in our opinion, is the best hitch money can buy and everyone should own one for the reasons mentioned above.
    
    Thank you Sean for making our camping experiences much more enjoyable and worry free!!
