I had originally purchased a husky trunnion style weight distribution hitch with a friction sway control attachment. It worked okay and did its job; however setup was a pain cause the hitch weight at least 90 lbs, and you were limited in terms of turn radius, so once you’re off the highway or needing to back up, the sway control arm had to be disconnected to prevent braking it. On the highway, that was still Some slight sway when semi’s drove by but most significantly if I were behind a semi truck. Now safety is always my utmost concern, so I had been constantly looking for a system that may help me in gaining better control of my vehicle and trailer. So, when I learned about the Anderson hitch, I researched the crap out of it before deciding to purchase it. A little bit about my use of the hitch: I have a 2013 F-150 that I use to haul a 29’ travel trailer dry weight of 6100. The first trip I used the hitch on was a 430 mile trip north from North Carolina to Maryland. The entire drive up, we had no issues with cross winds or passing vehicles causing sway. We got stuck behind quite a few semi’s, and as anyone who hauls knows the draft from the semi trucks can cause some significant sway when you’re following behind; however not once did I feel that I needed to move out from behind the semi trucks due to sway. In regards to the hook up and leveling; it is made super easy once you have It installed per the instructions. Adjustments are made easily by tensioning the nuts on the chain till you achieve a minimum of 1/4” compression of the red springs or till you’re truck and trailer are level. There is no need to take it off when backing up, and you can make tight turns if needed because the system is all connected to the hitch and ball assembly. Best part is it weights no more than 40 lbs making removal easy. The light design also helps reduce your payload allowing you to carry more cargo in your vehicle. In all, I am very happy I switched over to the Anderson hitch and hope others enjoy the same experience I have. Review: 110% would buy again - Absolutely love this hitch! Tow our jeep with an expedition max and I would prefer to tow the jeep than I would drive the expedition by itself that’s how well it handles. Few months ago we towed it from North Texas to Breckenridge Colorado and it was flawless. ## Features - Tension Chain System: Andersen Weight Distribution Hitches utilize a tension chain system instead of traditional spring bars, making the hitch easier to use and more adaptable to different towing needs. - Anti-Bounce & Anti-Sway Performance: Featuring a friction cone built into the ball housing, this system works with the tension chains to eliminate bounce and sway, ensuring a safer, smoother ride. - Multiple Drop & Ball Options: Available in 4", 6", and 8" drop designs, each hitch can be equipped with either a 2" or 2-5/16" ball, providing flexibility for various towing setups. - Built in the USA: Crafted with pride in America, these hitches are made from high-quality materials to deliver unmatched durability and performance. - Versatile & User-Friendly: Engineered for a wide range of trailers, this hitch adapts easily to your needs, delivering peace of mind and confidence on the road. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BT3CPS6 | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #505,338 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #89 in Towing Weight Distributing Hitches | | Brand Name | Andersen Hitches | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Trailer | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (135) | | Finish Type | Powder Coated | | Included Components | mounting plates, bolts, chains, ball and hitch | | Item Type Name | Andersen No Sway No Bounce Weight Distribution Hitch | | Item Weight | 55 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Andersen Hitches | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3380 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 Year, Lifetime (Friction Cone Only) | | Material Type | Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 3380 | | Pull Force | 16000 Pounds | | UPC | 871155009268 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Andersen Hitches - **Finish Type:** Powder Coated - **Item Weight:** 55 Pounds - **Material:** Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Stainless Steel - **Vehicle Service Type:** Trailer ## Images ![ANDERSEN HITCHES | 3380 | Weight Distribution Hitch | 2" Shank, 8" Drop, 2-5/... - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EQw4C+tGS.jpg) ![ANDERSEN HITCHES | 3380 | Weight Distribution Hitch | 2" Shank, 8" Drop, 2-5/... - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bXUoeXV6L.jpg) ![ANDERSEN HITCHES | 3380 | Weight Distribution Hitch | 2" Shank, 8" Drop, 2-5/... - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71m9ndvv0hL.jpg) ![ANDERSEN HITCHES | 3380 | Weight Distribution Hitch | 2" Shank, 8" Drop, 2-5/... - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nH8pnBUJL.jpg) ![ANDERSEN HITCHES | 3380 | Weight Distribution Hitch | 2" Shank, 8" Drop, 2-5/... - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Z0dmBsrkL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does this system perform when making tight turns, such as in a parking lot?
