Or the band aid of all the other WD hitch is to trade in ...

That wouldn’t be a band aid tho. You can’t fix a wound that doesn’t exist anymore, unless you Obama.

The Propride hitch indeed the best hitch for preventing and controlling sway. Some use it for added safety which is good but others use it because they have an inadequate tow vehicle. I firmly believe in having a tow rig that allows the system to dampen sway naturally, with its critical speed well above normal highway speed limits. Any type of weakness in lateral stability of the truck and trailer tires and suspension, improper tow vehicle to trailer weight ratio, and most important is trailer CG can induce sway. Too much WD can cause a vehicle to oversteer giving a light sensitive feeling to steering. High hitch weights compounds the problem since we then increase the amount of WD to get the tow vehicle back to level. More WD will reduce understeer, no way to change that. When Ford tests and rates the vehicle they don’t worry about how level the truck is they let it sag. A sagging tow vehicle has been scientifically proven to reduce testosterone levels of any male occupants so we make things worse by making things look good.

ROFLMFAO Can't agree with you more on this one!

Whats funny is that when I get the trailer hooked up right, thats the only time my truck looks level. Then again I am inside the truck and really dont give a rats *** if it looks level or not, as long as the nose isn't lighting the way for comets, I'm happy with it.

It is pretty obvious by reading some of your posts on towing issues with the new F-150 you have never towed with the Propride. This was the only solution that worked for me after adding Bilsteins, Supersprings, and LR-E tires. I am towing a 8K loaded TT with a 2016 3.5 EB 4x4 SCREW 3.55 with 1830 payload. This is what I have so I got to make it work. I just get the front fenders back to unloaded height, the hitch-head and TT level and I am good to go. I just feel like with this setup I am better equipped than most.

I can guarantee you that no hitch, no matter how good it claims to be, will resolve a problem that exists, without a trailer connected! If the steering wanders without a trailer, it is going to wander with one, and be amplified.

How would the Propride correct the problem with 1000 pounds in the bed and no trailer connected, that exhibits the exact same steering issue as when a trailer is connected?

See my dilemma? Hopefully the dealer can resolve it since I know it drove nice and straight for the first 16,000 miles I had it.
