About Hitch & Sway

Hitch & Sway covers one subject: pulling a trailer safely behind a vehicle that was not built for it. Hitch classes and receivers, ball mounts, weight distribution, sway control, brake controllers, wiring and towing mirrors - matched to what your vehicle can actually carry and what your trailer actually weighs.

It is written for someone who has a problem rather than a product in mind. Most people arrive here mid-sentence: the trailer moved around on the highway, the truck squats when they hitch up, the lights stopped working at the ramp. So the pages lead with the problem and the fix, and only then with hardware - which on this site frequently means telling you that you do not need any.

Brijon M., the hands-on owner behind MadGrey LLC. There is no editorial team, no panel of experts and no network of contributors - one person researches and writes every page here, which is why the sourcing standard matters more than a masthead would.

What you will not find in that byline is a credential, because inventing one would be the easiest and most damaging lie available on a site like this. No certification is claimed. No professional background is implied. What is offered instead is a published method: every figure traced to a primary source, and an explicit statement whenever a number cannot be sourced at all.

• Not a test lab. We do not instrument stops, measure sway onset or run anything on a rig. Nothing here is written as though we have.
• Not a shop. There is no premises, no installer network and no service to book. Where a page covers an installation, it tells you what the job involves so you can judge a quote.
• Not a retailer. We sell nothing. Links go to Amazon, where the retailer's own price is shown.
• Not a price comparison site. No prices appear here at all - see how this is funded and how we research.

Affiliate commission through the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. If you buy something after following a link from here, we earn a percentage at no extra cost to you. That arrangement is disclosed above the first affiliate link on every page that carries one, and in the footer of every page on the site.

The structural protection against that money distorting the content is the content itself: pages that tell you to move cargo forward rather than buy a hitch, picks that carry an explicit note on who each product is wrong for, and no price figures anywhere to create urgency. Read the editorial policy for the rules we hold ourselves to.
