ProPride 3P Hitch

I purchased a ProPride 3P hitch in December of 2012, the hitch has the 1,400 lb. bars. If you’re reading this ad I suspect that you’re already familiar with all the great reviews of the hitch and Sean Woodruff. I will tell you that they are 100% accurate. It’s a great hitch and works exactly as advertised. No sway and the ease of hooking and unhooking the trailer makes for great towing. We just purchased a fifth wheel and no longer have a need for the hitch.

I’m located in North Alabama. Price is $1,500.

That's a good price. These hitches a worth the 2500.00 propride charges for them. It makes a tt pull like a 5er. I love mine. good luck with the sale it wont last long

mine must of been a off brand ProPride 3P because towing my 5er is much better then towing any load on the proride

Thanks for getting back with me. What Trailer did you have it on? I am looking at a used Hensley but have discovered to get it to fit my trailer I will have to buy some new parts. So I'm curious if your propride would fit my trailer with no mods.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike, I towed an Arctic Fox 29L. It's about an 8,000 lb trailer with about 1,000 lb tongue weight. I recall looking at the Hensley hitch before I purchased the ProPride and seem to recall there was an issue regarding the matchup between the tow vehicle height and the trailer ball height. If I remember correctly the Hensley was specific to each tow vehicle. The ProPrided is fully adjustable at the hitch. This was one of the factors that led me to purchase the ProPride.

Did you need the safety chain and electric hook up extensions?

I did use the safety chain extension, but did not need the electrical extension

Did you install it yourself? If so how difficult was it?

Yes, I did install it myself. Looking back on it I think I was a lot more worried about it than I needed to be. The instructions are straight forward and there are several good you tube videos on the installation. It did take me a little longer than some claimed but I was pretty anal about making sure I got it right.

That is my concern installing it right. Did it take long for you to get use to backing up and hooking up to it?

I got the hang of hooking up and disconnecting without any problem. I was surprised it was so easy. I found it much easier to hook up the ProPride than it was previously of getting the ball under the trailer coupler. I picked reference points on the tailgate and the trailer to keep it centered, got close and then got out to raise or lower the trailer so the stinger was at the proper height to go into the hitch. Got back in and backed into it. I don't want to understate it as it is different and takes a few times to get use to it. But once you get comfortable with it, it is considerably easier and quicker than standard hitches.

My new 2015 Flagstaff 26rlws should arrive in about a month. I went ahead after doing extensive reviews on the best hitches and just received my new ProPride 4p hitch. Out of everthing I have read about the upgrade changes I read and speaking with Sean I fell 100% confident that this hitch will completely eliminate any sway. At one time I had a 32' Prowler TT and was pulling it to Florida and around Birmingham I was in the interstate doing about 65 MPH and I was going around a curve just starting over a bridge and a tractor trailer truck was going around me and the trailer started swaying so bad the entire truck was heading off the road and by the grace of the good Lord I got control of it. I thought our family was dead. I even had during that time a very good equalizer hitch on it. Bite the bullet and buy the ProPride. Call Sean and he will guide you through the process.
