SuperSprings and B&W Trailer Hitches Redefine Towing Stability

The collaboration marks a departure from traditional adapter designs, which often prioritize connection points at the expense of ride comfort. By engineering a proprietary spring specifically for this unit, the two companies developed a dual-axis cushioning system that absorbs road shock while simultaneously managing the push-and-pull forces between a truck and its trailer during acceleration and braking. According to Taylor Jones, Director of Engineering at B&W, the decision to move beyond off-the-shelf components allowed for a level of dampening that significantly improves the towing experience in stop-and-go traffic.

Beyond ride quality, the adapter addresses common user frustrations by simplifying the physical connection process. It features a wide-aperture funnel for easier alignment and an automatic latching mechanism that resets after disconnection. Because the integrated SumoSpring is maintenance-free and requires no complex air systems or compressors, the adapter offers a durable, American-made alternative to existing market solutions. This focus on reliability and performance earned the product the top honor at the RV Industry Association’s Aftermarket Conference, validating the cross-industry partnership between the Kansas-based hitch manufacturer and the California-based suspension specialist.
