Hey Ezra, I can definitely help you with this decision.

First let me say, those are all great choices. The main reason I suggest going with the TrackPro # BLU47FR is how it handles sway. A system like the TrackPro uses a spring bar design to flex more naturally instead of acting like a stiff lever. That lets it absorb bumps better and keeps the trailer more stable. It also uses those bars to constantly balance the load side-to-side, so it’s helping prevent sway instead of just reacting to it.

The result is a smoother ride and a more controlled feel, which makes a noticeable difference with a mid-size truck like a Ranger.

So while any of those systems will work, the TrackPro just gives you a more stable, controlled, and comfortable towing experience, especially on longer trips or in wind.

Where do you plan to camp with the Jay Feather?
