Blue OxBXW2000 SWAYPRO Weight Distributing Hitch 2000lb Tongue Weight for Standard Coupler with Clamp-On Latches ,90 Pounds

I was drawn to the Blue Ox from the beginning, and tried to find one I liked better. The price point came in a little high compared to some of the other brands, but in the end I feel the cost was well worth it. We bought the 2000 pound bars due to our trailer having a 1700 pound tongue weight. We towed our toy hauler home at night on back roads, on both smooth and rough roads, over multiple railroad tracks and in through the city. The trailer didn't move or budge an inch.. My wife was following behind me, and kept calling me to ask me if everything was ok. What she meant was that she didn't see the trailer bounce or sway AT ALL. I had the propane cover (which was a little loose) in the back of the garage area of the toy hauler so we wouldn't loose it. When I put it in the back I didn't secure it and thought for sure I'd find it moved and tipped over when we arrived at home. It only weighs a pound or so, and was pretty tall. When I opened the door at home, the cover was in it's same spot. it didn't move an inch. What that told me was the trailer was stiff as can be, and was in sync with the suspension of the truck. The Blue Ox was a joy to tow, and was super quiet and easy to hook up. The stronger bars are a little more tricky to install, but with a little elbow grease they tighten up just fine. The steel stinger is VERY heavy, made from quality coated steel, and every bolt and chain was very beefy and robust. I can't wait to take this hitch on it's next trip.My only dissatisfaction was with Amazon shipping. The first hitch arrived with the box so destroyed, I told the UPS guy to pack it back up and take it away. Parts were falling out of the box. For the second one, I asked Amazon to pack it better. They didn't. However, we needed the hitch the next day, so I opened up the box to inspect and everything was ok. But the box looked like it had been through a war. I guess it's hard to pack 90 pounds of steel bars, chains, and the head unit without using a wood pallet. Beware, and know that even if you accept it from UPS, Amazon will work with you if parts are missing. At least that's what they told me.

So I received this sway bar kit about a month ago I opened the box and everything was there all is good, So tonight I went to put on truck and trailer and got ready to pull and enclosed trailer on long trip and WOW I have in the box a 2.5x2.5 inch shank witch is not standard and doesn't feed my F-250 6.0 Diesels Factory 2inch x 2 inch hitch, OMG was I pissed, So I went to Blue OX website and they even have an After Hours phone number called left message and a Lady from Blue OX called me back maybe 15 mins and I told her what was going on and she told me That the BXW2000 comes with the 2.5 shanks and the 1500lb kits and under come with the standard 2x2 inch shank, She was super cool and is sending me out a standard shank with 7 holes and a label to send the other one back all FREE OF CHARGE, so I hope someone reads this and doesn't make the same mistake because nowhere does it say 2.5x2.5 shank.Update Got the replacement standard shank today and got this bad boy all hooked up with a 20k ball https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004R33KUI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Man what a huge difference I tried to make it sway but the sway pro puts the trailer right back into place totally different driving with this hooked up.Also here is a tip for hooking and unhooking with the Blue Ox, When you 1st hook up set trailer down onto ball then lock hitch onto ball then use trailer jack to put up pressure and even raise the tow rig a little this will give you more slack in the chains and make locking them down way easier. after you have them both locked lower the jack and the chains will be super tight and the bars with have slight bend in them.To unhook just use jack to raise trailer and tow rig till you can put your foot onto bar and feel its under less tension but be careful while unhooking still, Hope this helps some of ya.

I really loved my Equal-I-zer WD hitch however, the RV dealer sold me a hitch that was rated for 1200/12000 which was the empty weight of or trailer. Fully loaded, our trailer has a tongue weight of 1700 and a trailer weight of 9980. So my old hitch doesnt work. I looked around and the max for Equilizer is 1600. Not enough. Found Blue ox rated at 2000/20000. I love it. Easy to use and now I have less to worry about. Highly recommend it.

GREAT PRODUCT. BEST PRICE. I USE IT FOR HAULING CARS ON A TRAILER WITH MY POLICE CAR. THERE ARE OTHERS ON THE MARKET, INCKUDING LIGHTER DUTY VERSIONS MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY BUT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BUY THE HEAVY-DUTY EQUIPMENT AND THEY COST THE SAME PRICE. THIS WAS THE BEST I COULD FIND, IT HAS A 20,000 CAPACITY. IT'S HARD FINDING A MODERN PASSENGER TRUCK THAT IS DESIGNED TO HAUL A TRAILER THAT HEAVY BUT MY OLD CLASSIC CLASS 6 COMMERCIAL TRUCK CAN STLL HAUL MORE THAN THAT AND IT HELPS GIVE IT A SMOOTHER AND MORE STABLE RIDE.

This unit is highly recommended and does everything it is designed to do. I bought this hitch to replace a Reese unit that was not able to back up the trailer (one bar would just fall off due to the design). The zerk grease fittings make keeping the hitch maintained a snap. I did not like the BlueOx chain cam lock design so I reused the Reese unit, which is of the standard and much easier to use design.

I upgraded the hardware from the included Grade 5 parts to Grade 8 for piece of mind when pulling a trailer up to 20K lbs.Also had to purchase longer set bolts as the included ones did not reach the edge of my toy haulers frame rail on the sway control parts.

This hitch performed as advertised, and enabled me to tow my large trailer with less sway and it evened my truck out. It is very heavy-duty and looks well made.the only problem I have with the product is rotating cam latch. Latching and unlatching can become dangerous, as the cam becomes uncontrollable as it rotates even after most hitch pressure is released from the torsion arms.I use a bottle jack hitching and unhitching to help control the pressure from the arms and to keep things safe during the process. Even with this issue it is still the heaviest duty hitch with built in sway control on the market that I have found available, that can handle a 2000 to tongue weight
