    Propride 3P and F150 sway control

    We've towed with the 3P since 2009; in case you're not familiar with it, the design of the hitch does not attempt to control sway, but prevents it from happening entirely. A couple of years ago we sold our 2005 Toyota Sequoia and bought a new-to-us 2013 F150. It has the max tow package, which...
