Features to know about
Keeps the Trailer Straight and Steady: Built-In Sway Control with Positive Caster Head
Crosswinds and passing semis can push your trailer around, but the Blue Ox SwayPro stays locked in line. The hitch head is built with a positive caster angle that helps the trailer self-center behind the tow vehicle, working just like the caster in your front wheels that pulls the steering back to straight. Constant tension in the trunnion bars keeps the chains tight, forcing the trailer to track true instead of wandering. The built-in sway control works quietly without friction pads or noise, so you get smooth handling and peace of mind in gusts or on long highway stretches.
No Need to Disconnect When Backing Up: Full-Range Motion Design
Some hitches make you stop, unhook, and reset just to back into a campsite. With the SwayPro you can reverse normally. Its rotating lift brackets and chain system don’t bind or fight you during tight maneuvers. The design gives full-range motion so you can back up or make sharp turns without removing a thing, saving time and effort every trip.
Levels Out Heavy Loads for a Safer, More Comfortable Ride: 15,000 lbs GTW / 1,000–1,500 lbs TW
A sagging rear end or light front steering can make towing stressful. This system evenly spreads tongue weight across all axles so your rig stays level and stable. Rated for 15,000 lbs gross towing weight and 1,000–1,500 lbs tongue weight, it’s built from durable powder-coated steel with a 13" shank, 2-5/16" hitch ball, and 8" maximum rise or 2" drop. Once it’s set, your headlights stay aimed right and your steering feels natural again—even with heavy cargo.
Quick, Straightforward Setup: Preset Head Angle and Rotating Lift Brackets
Getting this hitch ready doesn’t take all day. The head comes preset with the correct pitch, so you don’t have to mess with washers or bolts to find the right angle. Just slide the head to the right height, pin the trunnion bars, and tighten the lift brackets using the included wrench. Clamp-on brackets mean no drilling into your trailer frame. Grease zerks in the head make maintenance clean and simple, and the whole process can be done in about an hour.
Built Tough and Ready for the Long Haul: Quiet, Durable Construction
The SwayPro’s steel components are powder coated for corrosion resistance and smooth operation. The trunnion bars lock firmly in place so nothing rattles or grinds, even over rough roads. Every 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. It’s a quiet, heavy-duty setup that makes towing feel tighter, steadier, and more controlled from the first mile to the last.

While I have only just received my hitch and done pre-assembly, it is exactly as ordered and all parts appear to be in order. This was recommended by the RV Sales where I am purchasing my new Travel Trailer, so I have little to no concerns for how it will fit. I expect great performance from this hitch and will be happy to share my experiences after a good run.

I have been using the Blue Ox SwayPro WD Hitch for 1,500 tongue weight on our 30' Arctic Fox travel trailer for one year now. No regrets as this hitch has been an easy to setup and use and it seems to do it's job nicely. Due to the height of our trailer's hitch I ordered a Reese Titan Weight Dist Shank to use with the SwayPro and the pair work great together.

The Blue Ox SwayPro 1500 arrived today. Ordered online from eTrailer on Tuesday and delivered to West Michigan on Friday. FAST! etrailer service and support is always First Class. While heavy, the Blue Ox WDH was in perfect condition. The quality and appearance of the Clue Ox is great. The hitch is powder coated and very clean. I 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. Our new TT was delivered to our dealer while our state is in lockdown. There it sits until May 1. I will update review after install and first trip.
With all the changes in the world... very happy to purchase a product Made in U.S.A.

Ordered this specifically for an enclosed trailer that was upgraded to a toy hauler. The Blue Ox hitch was easy to install, and even easier to use. It does exactly what I need it to…improve the handling of my tow rig. This thing is built for the long haul, and that was important. I tend to keep things forever, and longevity was a factor in selecting this hitch.

The hitch came very quickly and was well packaged. I was surprised to find an upgraded chain tool and 20k lbs ball already attached to the hitch. The reason I have four stars was there was not option to select a longer shank length. So, $[XX] dollars later I was able to get an extended shank for my 3/4 ton truck.

Have only used it to drive 15 miles from my trailer dealer to home, but I think I'm going to like this WDH. It seems to do the job, is relatively easy to use. The dealer I bought my trailer from mounted it for me, they'd done many before so it went quickly.
Some hints I'd learned from them and discussion forums - use the trailer jack to lift the front of the trailer/back of the truck to make it easier and safer to install or remove the chains. Use a long breaker bar with a 1" socket for the same reason - the extra leverage over that with the tool supplied with the hitch helps. I painted the chain link on each side that the dealer hooked to so I could get the tension back the way they had it. Will have to see how that works out in the long run, may have to adjust up or down.
FWIW, I measured the distance from the ground to the top of the front and rear fender wells on my truck before and after hooking up the trailer with the BO Sway Pro. The front ended up exactly where it was before, the rear dropped only one inch with 1000 lbs of hitch weight. I'd say the WDH is doing its job!

Ive replaced the 1 socket with a 26mm socket, as it fits better. Only snag we are running into is that the u-bolts that hold the chains to the arms are being bent and worn down from occasional ground scrapes. Ive purchased a pair of the little u-bolts and four self locking nuts from e-trailer, so Ill be prepared if they ever do rub or break off completely.

I have both an Equalizer and this Blue Ox hitch. I purchased the Blue Ox after I complained of a poor ride with my travel trailer to the dealer. They recommended Blue Ox instead. Frankly it didn't improve the ride at all. Worse, the bars hung so low that they scraped on every speed bump. However this was exacerbated by the way I had to set it up to make the ride at least tolerable. I have now changed travel trailers and tried both hitches on the new one. The new travel trailer sits significantly higher and rides much better. I don't have the problem of the bars hitting the ground. The ride also seems much better then when I use the Equalizer. The final problem I have with this hitch is the that saddle that holds the chains seems to stick very frequently and requires that I release the pin and force it to release the chain with the provided wrench - resulting in frequent minor injuries. Not sure why this happens but I'm getting better at forcing the release with no injuries. Just irritating.

The Blue OX weight distribution hitch is the way to go. With the sway control built in it makes the system more manageable and easy to use. The bars are straight instead of an L for easier storage and the chain tensioner is much easier to load then the typical system that requires going over a high center. I bolted the tensioners to my frame but the standard mount works fine.

First I have to recognize and thank the excellent etrailer customer service. The etrailer team contacted me immediately to address an order issue, and did so quickly. The BXW1500 arrived in a timely manner, and the only issue was the shipping/handling by UPS. The box was rather beat-up, and the chains were hanging out, but all of the product was intact and we had no issue with install.
The ride is significantly better than the previous hitch from the dealer (R3 Recurve), and I have noted improved distribution across the axles at the scales. Previous setup was a lesser bar rating, and we determined the tongue weight and cargo was at the higher end of the bar. As such, we chose the 1500 lb TW bars.
The BXW1500 material and build quality is quite impressive, particularly in comparison to the previous hitch.
Vehicle and trailer is: 2015 Silverado 1500 with Max-Trailering Package and a 2020 GD Imagine 2800BH.

TOP QUALITY CONSTRUCTION, MADE IN THE USA!!!! NEVER TOWED BETTER THAN WITH THE BLUE OX. THANKS E-TRAILER FOR SELLING SUCH GREAT PRODUCTS AT SUCH GREAT PRICES.

I've driven over 11,000 miles this year, through snow, rain, and gusty winds and have no troubles with this hitch system. Just love it. The finish has chipped off, and in those areas, rust is developing. Otherwise a very good product.

Hi Douglas, Thanks for your feedback! With the powder coating being chipped off, I would recommend cleaning the rust off and applying a rust resistant paint to the bare metal. This will help prevent the rust from spreading. I have attached a helpful article that goes into better detail.

For Etrailer, A+ for excellent customer service as usual! Shipping was very quick. Regarding the hitch, I think this one is going to be a real winner. Installation was quick and easy. Anyone with basic tools can easily install and setup this hitch. The only thing most people won't have is the 1 7/8" socket needed to tighten the nut that secures the ball to the hitch itself. You'd also need a torque wrench or impact wrench that can achieve [specs]. Instead, I just took it to a local shop. It took them two minutes and they didn't even charge me.
After installing and setting up the hitch, I took measurements of the height of the truck's front fender both hitched and unhitched. It was exactly the same, which as I understand is ideal. Without any weight distribution, the front of the truck rises about 1/2" when you drop the trailer on the ball.
I haven't towed with the new setup yet, but I expect it to do really well based on what I'm seeing so far. I'll come back and update after my first trip next week.

Functionally great! I’m very disappointed with the paintprotective coating. Had to sand everything and repaint because the original coating rusted. Not sure why, I do not live on the coast salt water. Maybe a mid que on prep before powder coating. I can send pics, but pretty you won’t really care.

First one was super easy to install, although it is absolutely heavy. Adjustment was easy. Attaching and detaching to the trailer is easy. I am at the maximum towing capacity of my truck, and this hitch works. No sway, no lift in the front. The back does squash down quite a bit, but I have a 100% stock suspension; no airbags.
My hitch was stolen. Someone broke the lock and removed it. I quickly purchased another one.
This would have been a 5 star rating, except for the shank of the second hitch. There seems to be too much powder coating on the shank. Even with some persuasion, I am unable to put the shank into the receiver. I submitted an issue to etrailer and look forward to hearing from them soon.
I have had nothing but great dealings with etrailer and when I had to purchase the second hitch, I went straight back to them.

Daniel, Thank you for your review. The easiest way to take the tension out of the spring bar is to raise the trailer with the trailer jack. Raise the trailer and the back of the tow vehicle until the tension is reduced. This will allow the bars to be removed.

- Recommended Weight Distribution System for 1,175 lb Dry Tongue Weight TrailerWith your tongue weight at 1,175 lbs when loaded, you also need to account for any cargo weight behind the rear axle as well to get the total tongue weight rating.

I recommend also taking the trailer out for a short test drive to see how everything handles with the current setup and if needed the chains can always be adjusted one way or another down the line.
