Upgraded Air Bag Ball Mount To Reduce Jerking While Pulling Travel Trailer With 2022 Ford F150
Published 10/15/2026
Question:
I have a 2022 Ford F-150 pulling a small travel trailer that weighs about 4,500 lbs loaded. Every time we hit rough pavement or bridge joints I can feel the trailer jerking the truck around. Would this Air Safe hitch make a noticeable difference over my regular ball mount?

Hey Kevin!
Yes, the Air Safe Shock Absorbing Ball Mount # AS64VR would be a great option for reducing those harsh bumps you're feeling!
Unlike a standard ball mount, this uses a built-in air bag to cushion the connection between your truck and trailer.
Air Safe says it can reduce shock and vibration transfer by up to 60%, which should make a noticeable difference on rough roads. Its rated for 6,000 lbs of towing and 600 lbs of tongue weight, so just make sure your trailers loaded tongue weight falls within that limit. It also includes the 2 inch hitch ball.
Do you know roughly what your trailers tongue weight is?
