Why does a Hensley hitch cost more than friction-based sway control hitches?
The price difference comes down to design and performance, not branding.
Friction-based sway control hitches:
-
Typically cost $600–$1,000
-
Use friction to reduce trailer sway after it begins
-
Effectiveness can vary with wind, road conditions, or adjustments
-
Still allow the trailer to pivot behind the tow vehicle
Hensley hitch (sway elimination)
-
Uses a mechanical linkage system
-
Changes the trailer’s pivot point forward
-
Makes trailer sway physically impossible rather than merely resisted
-
Performance does not rely on friction, tension, or surface conditions
In short:
You’re paying for a system that prevents sway rather than manages it. A Hensley hitch costs more than friction-based hitches because it does more.
