This hitch is a monster. My travel trailer weighs in at just over 11,000 pounds with a tongue weight of just shy of 1,600 pounds. As a result, I went with the 2,000-pound spring bars. The hitch is stout enough to handle my travel trailer. The dealer initially supplied a 14000/1400 pound Equal-i-zer hitch which I discovered was slightly underrated after I visited the CAT scale, so I upgraded to the Blue-Ox. I'm still tweaking the setup, but it's looking good so far. I can easily recommend the Blue Ox Sway Pro.

My 24 foot toyhauler came with a WD hitch that was rated for the GVW of my rig, 12,000lbs, but my hitch weight runs 1700-2,000lbs, no way was that hitch doing it’s job, it was close to max weight when loaded and overweight on the hitch with or without toys in the cargo area, Blue Ox was the same hitch that the Original owner used and they have a great reputation as well, I bought this hitch, their heaviest, to handle my high hitch weight when I’m not carrying my toys, not only is this hitch rated to 20,000 lbs, but the WD bars are rated at 2,000lbs, even with toys the hitch weight is close to 1,500lbs. The trailer tows much better now and I’m no longer close to max capacity. I kind of prefer a WD system without chains but for this system it’s really not much more work. If you want quality and safety, be prepared to pay for it as these aren’t cheap, in quality nor price. But the peace of mind that I now have is priceless.

(2024 XLR Hyperlite 3517 Toy Hauler Pulled with 2021 Silverado 2500) I recently upgraded to a larger camper and needed a new WD hitch. The BXW2000 was the only reasonably priced (still not inexpensive) hitch I could find that had a tounge weight rating of 2000lbs. My camper has a TW of 1785lbs and I would rather have too much than not enough. I pulled without this hitch and then with it and it was a night and day difference. Little to no sway and it held my truck and camper level. Only negative thing I can say is that unhitching makes me nervous. It not easy to tell how much tension is on the bars when releasing the chains. It will take some getting used to. I suggest raising the truck up as far has possible with the trailer jack before releasing the chains.

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.
