Wow, what a difference it makes driving with this hitch! So glad I spent the money on this and wish I would have sooner!

TSLB Vinyl Hitch Cover

I'm sorry you are not happy with the TSLB Vinyl Cover. A towing specialist should have reached out to discuss this matter further.

No customer service after reporting issues with hitch

Ordered the trail save hitch for my Ford F450? Two days after I received it they ordered an upgrade a safety plate for a front rear sway which cost me an additional hundred dollars after my additional 3200. I spent for the hitch on inspection. The bolts that holds the front plate were short I called customer service and told them 2 1/2 weeks later they refused to give me the bolts to correct the problem. Also the plates installed rubbing on the airbags which I had to modify.

We are sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced with your TrailerSaver BD5-F Air Ride 5th-wheel Hitch for your Ford F450. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and understand your frustration.

Our towing specialist will be reaching out to you directly to discuss these issues.

Great Idea but.....

I have not used our BD3 with the beam guide yet so I can't speak to how well it works. But I can share a couple of thoughts:

1. Hensley sent me an extra kit by mistake. I had to get a return label, box the
extra kit up and take it back to the UPS store.

2. The pads on the metal mounts are just a little too wide (not too thick but too wide). I had to grind down the pad to match the metal mounts.

As long as I'm on a roll here let me share that I recently bought a BD3-D hitch that had 2 air leaks. Plus the hitch itself lacked enough adjustment in the pucks to allow it to mount on my truck. I ended up fixing the leaks and modifying the pucks. When I spoke to the rep from Hensley he said there were working on a new design.

All in all good product poor implementation.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — we appreciate the detailed feedback.

The beam guide pads, they are intentionally designed to be slightly wider. That said, your comments about the fit and your adjustments are extremely helpful. Our team is currently reviewing this aspect as part of a broader design update to improve ease of installation based on customer feedback like yours.

Your insight helps us build a better product, and we're grateful for customers like you who help us improve. If you have any additional suggestions, feel free to reach out — we’re always listening.

BD3 Beam Guide

The installation was very easy. I haven't pulled the fifth wheel yet.

Replacement was easy

Great!

Air ride fifth wheel hitch is simply a must for pulling a trailer. The hitch cushions your ride and keeps your vehicle and trailer from taking a beating from the road. It is surprising how many times I’ve shown other campers my air ride and they had never seen one. Don’t pull your fifth wheel without one.

Best hitch out there

As a result of years of satisfying use, one of the O/C lock assembly nuts that the wrench locks broke, I was able to use the O/C lock by using the bottom nut.

I reached out to Mike at Hensley and he told me this was an easy fix and I ordered a replacement part and within 3 days and 15 minutes I removed the old/broken OCLock and installed the new O/C Lock.

I love my Hensley, best hitch out there. IMO

Great idea and added security

The guides were easy to install.They give me the added security while towing my 23000 lb trailer

Spares Kit

Would be nice if you included u-bolts and bushing with spares kit, make it all in one, as I had to order the bushing that was broke but did know that until I started replacing the other parts.

Great

the parts that order is perfectly fits and no problem

Life Just Got Easier

Since I purchased this hitch, I have had four trips totaling 1000 miles. I can tell you the sway is nearly gone. I can drive a lot more comfortable and less stressful. The installation instructions were pretty clear, and when I had a problem, I called the toll free number and Mike immediately gave me the tips and trick to figure out my issue. I am happy I invested in this trailer hitch. I am telling everyone about it.

Works perfectly

Great service, easy to use Great quality.

It’s called the Ultimate for a reason.

After 12 years of owning rvs and other “top of the line” hitches, and some white knuckle experiences, I told myself the next camper we get we’ll get a Hensley or Propride. We ultimately chose the new ultimate Hensley based on the no drill installation, and the single style Weight distribution bars. I already knew these were quality, but this new design made it a no brainer option. The hitch arrived within a couple days of ordering, not in time for my first tow with our new camper (my own fault for ordering late). I towed our camper down some
Back roads with a generic wdh just to get it to camp. The Hensley was delivered the next day and my wife Brought it to camp. I installed it in less than 2 hours in the campground. The initial tow happened the next day. And what can I saw. It’s a whole different towing experience than I ever expected. I’ve driven cdl truck for 14 years, so I’m familiar with heavy trucks. And this was the most enjoyable experience I’ve ever had. Thank you for engineering such a remarkable piece of equipment. First picture taken before installation

The crew from Hensley saved our trip

By accident, my wife raised the brand new Trailer Saver hitch while the jaws were still clamped causing catastrophic damage.....on our first trip. One call to Hensley got us back on the road within 1 hour of us showing up at their shop. The crew did amazing work replacing bent and broken bolts. I cannot thank them and Aaron Greyhek enough! What a great company and product.

TrailerSaver Air Pump

the old pump was letting air escape, but the new one is holding air. It was a easy swap

Switch to Hensley Arrow

I’m very impressed with the performance of the Hensley Arrow hitch. With standard WD hitch we experienced much white knuckle driving pulling our 30 foot trailer, that has disappeared! Pulling the trailer now with my F150 is a breeze even in windy weather and no more watching out for semi’s. I would definitely recommend this hitch and look forward to many more miles of camping travel with confidence and ease of driving.

Arrow Spring Bar Grease Fitting

Easy to install, you shoud keep one or two around in case you damage one.

Bringing home the Keystone Bullet premier 25 fkpr from the dealer on just a ball mount with 10 mph crosswinds couldn't go over 35 miles an hour. After the ultimate arrow arrived and then we installed it had to take it travel trailer back for a small warranty repair night & day difference. Driving back home after the dealer weren't you repair on the highway 70 mph to barely tell it was back there.
