- Sway control works without friction, so it stays quiet and keeps working in rain or snow
- Rotating latches and clamp on brackets make hookup quick, with no frame drilling
- Limited lifetime warranty for the original owner
- Rated for 1,500 lb of tongue weight, the highest here
- Costs far more than friction hitches with the same rating
