How Much Does a Hensley Hitch Cost?

An Ultimate Arrow Hensley hitch is a premium travel trailer hitch designed to eliminate trailer sway by changing the trailer’s pivot point through a patented strut system. Unlike basic friction sway control bar, it prevents side-to-side movement from starting, resulting in a more stable, predictable towing experience that many RV owners describe as towing more like a fifth wheel.
The Ultimate Arrow Hensley Hitch cost is $3150.  Unlike cheaper hitches, it completely eliminates sway, has a money-back guarantee, and comes with a lifetime warranty.   We also offer in-house financing with low monthly payments that won't affect your credit score. 
What does the Ultimate Arrow Hensley hitch price include? 
The cost of a Hensley Arrow hitch includes everything needed for proper installation and towing stability, no hidden costs: 
  • Complete sway-elimination hitch assembly 
  • Weight distribution system (built in) 
  • Frame brackets and mounting hardware 
  • Struts, jacks, hitch bar, chains, and electrical extensions 
  • Phone support from towing specialists 
  • Lifetime warranty 
  • 60-day money-back guarantee 

Unlike many other hitches, there are no required add-on sway bars or friction components to purchase later. 

Ultimate Hensley Arrow® Hitch vs. ProPride 3P®: cost and value comparison 
If you’ve been shopping around, you have noticed that our competitors like to compare their products’ performance to ours. That’s because the Hensley Arrow is the standard in sway elimination hitches.  

Our new, Ultimate Hensley Arrow® is the next generation of anti-sway hitch.

We've integrated over 30 years of experience in making hitches to design the Ultimate Hensley hitch, the ultimate version of the Hensley hitch.  

Here’s how the Ultimate Hensley Arrow stacks up against the Pro Pride 3P: 
Price 
Ultimate Hensley Arrow: typically $2,850 - $3150
ProPride 3P: typically $3,600–$3,800 
Hensley Arrow is a less expensive total sway elimination hitch.
Capacity 
Ultimate Hensley Arrow: rated up to 16,000 lbs towing / 1,600 lbs tongue weight 
ProPride 3P: rated up to 14,000 lbs towing / 1,400 lbs tongue weight 
Hensley Arrow offers higher published capacity at a lower price point than the ProPride3P 

The best thing--if you decide to change your trailer, you won't have to change out expensive parts.  A simple adjustment of its weight distribution allows a perfectly tuned hitch for 3,000 - 16,000 lbs towing capacity.
Installation & ownership value 
  • Ultimate Hensley hitch uses no-drill frame brackets
  • Includes full hardware, warranty, and guarantee 
  • Designed as a complete system with fewer setup variables 
Why many buyers consider the Ultimate Hensley arrow the better Hensley hitch value? 

  • Lower purchase price than ProPride 
  • Higher-rated towing capacity 
  • No drilling into the trailer frame 
  • Lifetime warranty and 60-day risk-free trial 
  • Proven design with decades of real-world towing history 
  • Easier Installation 
  • Uses a proven strut bar assembly 
  • Provides an adjustable and fixed hitch bar 
  • The Ultimate Hensley Arrow delivers more capacity and lower cost, which is why many shoppers view it as the stronger value. 

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. 

Instead of managing sway, it eliminates it, offering a long-term, confidence-driven towing solution that many RV owners consider a one-time investment. 

Quick answers: 
How much does a Hensley hitch cost? 
Between $2,850 - $3150, depending on current offers. 

Why is it more expensive than sway control hitches? 
Because it eliminates sway through mechanical design instead of relying on friction to reduce it. 

Does the price include weight distribution? 
Yes. Weight distribution and sway elimination are built into the same system with the Ultimate Hensley hitch. 

Is it better than ProPride 3P®? 
Both eliminate sway, but Ultimate Hensley Arrow typically costs less while offering higher-rated capacity, a patented strut design, and installation in 90 minutes or less.
