(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- When it comes to towing, too many drivers accept misbeliefs about trailer sway as fact - potentially putting lives and gear at risk. Today, ProPride Hitch (“ProPride”) is unveiling a new educational initiative to bust the most persistent myths around trailer sway, replacing confusion with clarity and empowering safe towing decisions.

In a new featured article,“Trailer Sway Myths Busted ,” ProPride's experts challenge six pervasive misconceptions that have long circulated in the towing world. Among them:

Myth: Proper weight distribution alone prevents sway.
Reality: Even perfectly balanced loads can sway under crosswinds or side forces. Only a Jim Hensley style hitch - such as the ProPride 3P^® - can actively eliminate sway.

Myth: Slowing down is enough to stop sway.
Reality: Once sway is triggered, mere speed reduction is often too little, too late.

Myth: Swivel stops if you upgrade your tow vehicle.
Reality: Trailers can sway behind even large, heavy-duty trucks. Most drivers don't feel it until it's too late.

Myth: Pumping trailer brakes helps.
Reality: While intuitive, this method risks dramatic instability, wheel lift, brake wear, and delayed reactions.

Myth: Experienced drivers never see sway.
Reality: Experience doesn't equal immunity - it's a numbers game, and even seasoned tow-ers eventually encounter conditions they didn't anticipate.

Myth: 5th wheels cost more but“solve” sway.
Reality: A properly engineered Jim Hensley hitch like the ProPride 3P^® delivers sway control at a fraction of the cost and without forgoing your truck bed or making heavy modifications.

“There's a lot of dangerous misinformation out there about trailer sway,” said [Name, Title at ProPride].“Our mission is to replace myth with fact - so that every tow vehicle owner can make informed, safe decisions. The ProPride 3P^® Hitch isn't a gimmick - it's the only hitch designed to truly eliminate sway, not just reduce it.”

This release aligns with ProPride's broader safety and brand mission. The ProPride 3P^® hitch is manufactured in the U.S. and backed by a lifetime warranty.
