In
Trailer Life's What's New section the hitch is described as
not requiring removal from the trailer during nonuse. How
does the hitch mount such that it is reasonably theft proof?

hitch is a permanent mount that needs a padlock on the
coupler.
Is
the sway dampening feature as functional as the friction
brake type used with Easy Lift and others?
Blue
Ox offers a friction sway control arm as an accessory,
however tests prove the design of the hitch alone reduces
sway more than a conventional weight distribution hitch with
sway control. Thus, Blue Ox feels the consumer try the hitch
alone and find no additional sway control is needed. I
don’t know that it’s MORE than conventional WITH sway
control. Might be more than a conventional WITHOUT sway
control.
Is the weight distribution function of the hitch adjustable
for differing loads or trailer heights?
Yes
the weight distribution function of the hitch is adjustable
for differing loads or trailer heights. It provides for any
height or weight. MOST any height and most common weights.

weight distribution hitch carries a limited lifetime
warranty to the first purchaser.

the owner?
