The Blue Ox SwayPro is built to hold your trailer steady even when you’re facing heavy crosswinds or passing semis. The hitch head has a positive caster angle that helps the trailer self-center, keeping it directly behind you while towing. The trunnion bars apply constant tension, and the rotating lift brackets keep the chains tight so sway is kept in check without the noise or jerking of friction-style systems. You get a quiet, solid ride that feels like the trailer and tow vehicle are working as one.
Setting up the SwayPro is fast because the hitch head comes with the correct angle already built in—no stacks of washers or trial-and-error adjustments. The rotating lift brackets make connecting the chains just as simple: drop the lift chain into the slot, turn the wrench until the lock pin clicks, and you’re ready to go. It’s quick, clean, and doesn’t take muscle to latch heavy spring bars into place.
With a tongue-weight range of 750-1,000 lbs and a 10,000-lb gross towing weight rating, this system spreads the load evenly across both your tow vehicle and trailer axles. That means no more sagging rear end, no light steering, and no headlights pointing up into the trees. You get a level, balanced setup that makes long hauls feel stable and predictable.
The Blue Ox trunnion spring bars don’t grind or pop as you turn. Instead, they flex smoothly for a quiet, controlled ride. Maintenance is simple too—grease zerks on the head assembly let you add lubrication before each trip without mess. The heavy-duty powder-coated steel resists corrosion, so even after years of towing, your setup stays smooth and dependable.
Everything you need for installation comes in the box—head assembly, adjustable shank, spring bars, lift chains, rotating lift brackets with handles, reducer bushing for the ball shank, pin and clip, hitch ball, and all hardware. With its 13" shank length, 11" maximum rise, and 5" maximum drop, it’s built to fit a wide range of trailer setups so you can hit the road sooner with confidence.

Very nice. I am very happy with this product . It definitely helps reduce sway. I am more excited about the connection process , very easy.
Incredibly fast shipping
Great place to shop. Speedy delivery. Second blue ox hitch. This one is for my son's camper. They are great.
The Blue Ox preformed flawless wit zero road sway.
This was a good hitch and easy to install and easy set up.
Easy to follow instructions. Assembly and installation went well. Thanks for the fast delivery and great service.
Only disappointment was the latch wrench. Previous review (... was impressed that Blue Ox has totally upgraded the chain latch wrench. No longer that flat piece of metal. The new wrench is a plated, heavy duty socket wrench. Much like a wheel lug nut wrench that is made especially for releasing the latches). Apparently the upgraded version of the wrench is hit -or- miss.
Excellent, well built product. Easy to install and use. Makes a difference. Truck went from sagging to normal stance. Pulls the trailer with ease.

A year later, its still going strong. I am 64 and it is a very heavy hitch so at some point I will have to find a different solution or stop camping. In some states narcissists have made it illegal to leave a hitch on a truck as theyre too foolish to walk around it. Blame is rampant in those people. Genesis 3, time with Satan while lying about it.
Where is that head unit that didn't come in the box this is the worst customer service ever!

That's not good, I'm sorry that happened! We're having a replacement head shipped to you....
Bulletproof and easy to install. A must have for travel trailers.

Ive had the blue ox a year now, and have gone on 9 trips with my heritage glen 23bhhl. My silverado pulls it with ease and straight as an arrow thanks to this hitch. Once again a must have!!!
I purchased this hitch system at just under $1,000.00 for my 2021 Nissan Titan Pro4X and 2011 Coleman travel trailer. I was experiencing some sway and tailgate sag while towing my trailer with a standard draw bar hitch. This hitch does absolutely nothing to help with sway control even on a 7000 lb 29 foot travel trailer. Less than a year after my purchase a lot of the paint has fallen off and the hitch and adjustable draw bar are covered in rust.
Though the system does help some with the tailgate sag, you have to raise your truck almost off the ground with the tongue Jack prior to setting and tensioning the chains in order to make an appreciable difference. Waste of 18 hours of overtime pay.
After a full year of use, it works as promised. Highly recommend.
Works great. Not excessively heavy and gives the drop needed for my f250 hookup.
I have tens of thousands of miles towing 20' and 28' enclosed car haulers weighing anywhere from 6-8500 lbs.
The Blue Ox is quick and easy to hook up once you do it a few times and it works reasonably well at sway control. It's not as good at sway control as a Pro Pride hitch. But the Pro Pride is very expensive and very, very inconvenient to use.
The bottom line is that the Blue Ox sway control will get the job done in most instances. If you have a trailer that is inherently unstable, the Pro Pride is the better choice despite the cost and inconvenience.
Top of the line
Rose was great she helped me get the right hitch and she provided excellent customer service.
Easy to set up and tear down. Works great on keeping the trailer towing true and smooth down the road.
Works good and as described. We've used this Blue Ox SwayPro many times now and it does stabilize our 28' ATC well.
Every thing with Blue Ox is better than I expected. And every one from Etrailer is so helpful and dedicated. Kelly P. was a big help! Thank you Etrailer

I have had this hitch for a year now and I still love it. I towed my 31 foot TT from South Carolina to Washington state with my 2016 Nissan NV3500 van. I experienced very little sway, if at all, especially going through the Dakotas, Wyoming and Montana. After having serious sway problems with my previous hitch, I had looked into getting a Hensley type but I didn’t know if it was worth the money. I am so glad I didn’t spend that much because the Blue Ox has been worth every cent and costs much less. It was easy to install and is very easy to hook up and detach from my tow vehicle. I definitely recommend this hitch!
