When you’re towing a big trailer, crosswinds and passing semis can cause serious sway. The Blue Ox SwayPro uses a built-in sway control system with a positive caster angle in the hitch head that helps your trailer self-center as you drive. Constant tension in the trunnion bars holds the trailer firmly in line, while the rotating lift brackets keep the chains tight so there’s almost no side-to-side movement. The result is a quiet, stable tow without the popping or grinding that comes with friction-style systems.
With a 20,000-lb gross towing weight and a 1,500–2,000-lb tongue weight range, this hitch is built to handle serious loads. By evenly distributing weight across all your axles, it keeps your rig level and your steering responsive. The preset pitch on the hitch head makes setup simple right out of the box, and once installed, the truck and trailer feel like one unit on the road.
Backing into a campsite or driveway shouldn’t mean stopping to remove sway control parts. The SwayPro’s integrated sway control lets you reverse and make tight turns without disconnecting anything. It’s one of the biggest advantages over traditional friction-bar systems—smooth control whether you’re maneuvering slowly or cruising down the highway.
Getting everything set up is quick and straightforward. The clamp-on rotating lift brackets mount about 29" back from the hitch ball and require no drilling into the trailer frame. The hitch head comes preset at the correct angle, so you can bolt it up and adjust height using the 13" shank with 1-1/4" spaced holes. Even the trunnion bars lock in place easily with pins and clips. Maintenance is simple too, thanks to built-in grease zerks in the head assembly.
Everything about the Blue Ox SwayPro is made to last—from its powder coated steel construction to the secure chain-and-bar setup that stays tight under pressure. The system includes the 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 necessary hardware. With its durable build and limited lifetime warranty, it’s ready for years of reliable towing.

This hitch corrected my towing issues perfectly. I was ready to buy a new truck but as the tech advisor said, that won't correct your problem. He, Wayne, explained the problem was the hitch. He recommended the BXW2000 or BXW1500. I opted to purchase the BXW2000, overkill, but it works great. I've been on three trips with my 37' rv trailer with no issues. Also, I could have found the hitch cheaper elsewhere but the customer service at etrailer is excellent which is priceless. Thank you to Kaylyn R for all of your assistance and follow-up. Any future towing needs will definitely be through etrailer.
I have had the Blue Ox 2,000 lbs WD hitch for a little over 1 year. My previous WD hitch was under capacity based on the tongue weight of my 37 ft travel trailer. This hitch has greatly improved the pulling stability of my trailer over the previous set-up. It has exceeded my expectations.
This Blue Ox sway control hitch has works well on our trailer. It's heavy, but easy to hook up and use.
My only complaint is with the external finish. The finish on the bars began to flake off almost immediately. Other areas are also showing signs of surface rust.
That said, it does the job it's intended to do, with ease
I installed the hitch but have yet to have my travel trailer out on the road yet, to test it, hopefully it will be sometime this summer, the installation was no problem.
The hitch works as designed and for that I would give 5 stars, however the manufacturer claims their hitch is powder coated? Must be some really bad powder coating since the finish flakes off easily much like regular enamel paint. Everything I have ever had powder coated was a hell of a lot more durable than what's applied to this hitch assembly. If you don't mind the powder coating (paint) flaking off and rusting then it will be a non-issue for you.

I recommend touching up the WD system with a rust resistant paint. Over time the system will experience nicks and scratches from road debris and having the paint on hand will be beneficial.
In the box are two 12 SWL 3300lbs quick link shackles. Not shown in parts or instructions. Do these have a purpose?
Also the 12mm threads on the clamp-on rotating latches for the tightening bolts were painted, thus the bolts would not screw into the clamp. I had to use a tap to clean out the threads.
Other than the above the unit seem to be good and heavy duty.

It does the job but is very heavy due to the hitch being the largest they make. You need to be careful attaching and detaching the spring arms. I found the best way is to raise the trailer as high as possible when attached to the truck hitch. This relieves the tension enough to make install and removal of spring arms easier. The install video showed 3 exposed chain links when attaching spring arms. I have found 4 is better.
The hitch was delivered today. Everything arrived in good condition and I was pleasantly surprised that the hitch has a 2 1/2" shank.
The hitch seems to be very well made. The welds are nice and the finish (powder coat?) looks great.
I'm looking forward to getting this mounted and taking the trailer out for a trip.

The hitch works very well. Im not a fan of the wrench Blue Ox supplies to rotate the cams. I had a situation where the pin didnt lock the cam in place due to dirtsnow/ice but didnt notice. When I relaxed the tension on the cam, it rotated back down and smacked my had against the frame rail. I now use a 15 breaker bar with a 3 extension to give my hand some clearance- just in case it happens again!
This WDH is excellent! Heavy Duty, high quality, and handles my RV (35ft, 10,000 lb Jayco) with no problem. Gives me more capacity than I need and makes the ride great! Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - 20,000 lbs GTW, 2,000 lbs TW - BXW2000!

Awesome Control. Robust Product and great customer service.
Easy to install and performs very well.
Towing 10,000# toy hauler with no problem.
Bought a 30’ enclosed race car trailer with 1.5’ extra height and pulled it back from Dallas, Tx. with my 3500 DuraMax with no weight distribution hitch! It was not a pleasant drive. I weighted the tongue when I got home and came in at 1650# empty. Got this hitch, BX2000, loaded trailer with car, tools, fuel, generator, and did not re-weight tongue but estimate to be at least 2k. Pulls completely different! Sway is almost nothing. My old trailer was a 50’ goose neck which pulled better but was much heavier and harder for the truck to pull. This hitch will make the difference in a heavy tongue weight bumper pull trailer

Bought a 30’long 7.5’ inside height, bumper pull race car trailer in Dallas. Driving 8hours back home with my dually and no weight distribution hitch, trailer empty, sway was terrible. Weighted tounge and was 1700# empty! Ordered the Blue Ox Hitch with 2k bars and problem solved
The product is well built, easy to install and tows great. The downside is the chains. Before upgrading to a new trailer, I got rid of the standard chain style weight distribution bars and went to the square bar style. After getting a new trailer, my 14k bar style wasn't rated for the tongue weight and I had to upgrade to this. The new trailer is only 14k loaded but has a 2k pound tongue weight. This is the only hitch on the market that would carry the tongue weight and I am back to chains. They are difficult to deal with and if you dont have the tongue jack taking most of the pressure off of them, the wrench to release the chains can get away from you. If somebody make a chain less unit, I would get away from this.

Great product, absolutely no issues with it. However, the chains still stink and wish they had a better alternative for this heavy hitch.
Pulls significantly better than my previous distribution hitches
The product design is excellent. The assembly instructions SUCK! Looks like an engineer wrote them. That doesn't work well, in my experience. Had I known about the installation video on your site, I could have rated this much higher.
Shipment was on backorder... Excited it finally shipped, but when received all the hardware (including trailer brackets) was missing. I reached out to customer service and exchanged photos and details. I was advised that everything would be addressed. Unfortunately, several days later and I have not heard anything.
Happy to update my review if this matter is resolved.
Very heavy duty. Well packaged. Can’t wait to use it
This is a stout weight distribution hitch that made our towing experience much more stable and pleasurable. I would highly recommend the Blue Ox WD hitch. Very easy to install and setup.
I have used a Blue Ox SwayPro weight distribution hitch for 8 years on two different trailers. The first SwayPro hitch performed flawlessly on my 11,000+ lbs., 30 foot travel trailer for 6+ years, which I pulled with my 2017 F350 SRW diesel truck. We were full-time RVers for 2 years and travelled a number of times in challenging weather and road conditions without any significant issues. Recently we downsized to a 6,000 lbs., 25 foot travel trailer and had to buy a new hitch as I sold my old Blue Ox hitch with the old trailer. I again purchased the Blue Ox SwayPro even though I could have used a much lighter-duty hitch by another manufacturer, as I appreciated the quality of Blue Ox and the confidence it provided in handling a travel trailer.
Great product for heavy duty use.
My initial order arrived in just three business days, but unfortunately, the box was severely damaged in transit and several key components—specifically the head assembly and hitch ball—were missing. I contacted customer service right away, and they were very responsive, placing an order for the missing parts the same day.
When the replacement parts arrived, they turned out to be incorrect. After some investigation, customer service discovered that Blue Ox had recently updated their parts without updating the corresponding replacement part numbers—hence the mix-up. Since the correct components weren’t in stock, etrailer went the extra mile: they opened a new kit, pulled the correct parts, and shipped them to me via 2-day priority.
Thankfully, the third shipment had everything I needed, and I now have the complete, correct hitch. Throughout the process, the customer service team was outstanding—responsive, helpful, and clearly committed to resolving the issue. They also provided prepaid return labels for the incorrect parts.
That said, based on my experience and other reviews, it's clear that the original Blue Ox packaging isn't sufficient for a 102 lb product. The damaged box likely caused the missing parts issue in the first place. I hope etrailer considers reinforcing the packaging for future shipments to help prevent this from happening again.
Easy to hookup and very stable ride with a 29’ toy hauler.
It works better than advertised. My truck rids level and without any sway. Installation and hook up is simple and very straight forward. I give this product a 10.
The Hitch itself looks awesome, I’m going to be putting it to the test this Saturday pulling our new toy hauler home shipping was super fast. Ordered this on Monday had it in my hands Wednesday. Only took one star off due to the box being damaged and scratched my shank.
I think this will work great. Mounting it now. I am making 5/8" spacers for the trailer tongue to take up the extra space. Your service was excellent. Thanks

Very good. My toy hauler pulls perfect, especially after installing the 58 spacers between the trailer tongue and the clamp on lift brackets.

Great hitch easy setup pulled 120 miles to OBX had 15-20 mph wind gust hitch worked great on a 36ft forest river classic. I will note one of the cams seemed to be looser on the shale than the other one will keep a check on it make sure not a defect. Taelor at trailer was great to work with followed up to make sure I was all set. Thanks Taelor!!
Works great. I pulled an 18k trailer and the hitch performed as expected. I didn’t read the instructions on how to use the roll over chains which led to one dragging a few miles but I would buy them again. Love that you can use different springs based on your needs. Overall great product.
