Features to know about

Keeps Every Trailer Level: 10" Drop or 11" Rise

If your trailers sit at different heights, this mount makes it easy to keep each one level. The adjustable design moves in 1" increments, giving you up to a 10" drop or 11" rise. That means smoother towing, even tire wear, and better control whether you’re pulling a boat, camper, or utility trailer.

Tows Heavy Loads with Confidence: Up to 10,000 lbs GTW

Built for serious hauling, it handles up to 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball and up to 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball. The solid aluminum body keeps weight down while staying strong under load. It’s dependable strength you can count on trip after trip when moving heavy gear or large trailers.

Switches Between Trailers Fast: Adjustable 2" and 2-5/16" Balls

When you have more than one trailer to tow, swapping setups can slow you down. With this reversible ball platform, you can flip between the two chrome-plated steel balls in seconds—no tools needed. Slide it to the right height, reinsert the pin, and you’re ready to roll with the next trailer.

Built to Last: Solid Aluminum That Resists Corrosion

Road grime and weather can wear down a hitch fast, but this one stays sharp thanks to its machined, aircraft-grade billet aluminum construction. It’s rust resistant, has no welds that could form weak spots, and the polished silver finish gives it a clean look that holds up over time.

Stays Secure and Simple: Straightforward Setup

Once it’s adjusted and pinned in place, this mount stays put without rattle or fuss. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar is 4-1/4", and it’s 8-1/2" to the center of the ball—tight and balanced for a solid connection every time you tow.

This is exactly what I was looking for, Heavy duty and great craftsmanship thank you once again.



by:

Very happy with my selection and purchase, it provides height adjustments between different vehicles. Before the purchase I called the 800 number and the person I spoke with an agent who was very patient with all my questions.

Fantastic. Great hitch. Used on multiple vehicles and very flexible! Well engineered.



by:

Excellent quality and very convenient to adjust for different trailer heights. Been using for about a year now.



by:

Great drop hutch. My only complaint is it has a tendency to rattle a lot when pulling a trailer



by:

Great fast service. Received order a day sooner then expected.

Always pleased with etrailer.



by:

Ordered this product on the 24th and received it this morning, 3 days that was fast and it is exactly what I was looking for, very well built, super light weight, future purchases will be made through Etrailer for sure and I will definitely recommend to family and friends



by:

this hitch is just what I needed. 9 inch drop leveled my trailer out perfectly. would buy again



by:

Looks good and works with the Rock Tamers. Finish wont look so good after winter Iam sure.



by:

Really super good product, lightweight, adjustable, solid like a rock, great polished aluminum no rust :-) love it



by:

I haven't used it yet but it is high end and well built. Also I buy online all the time and this was the best tracking and shipping I think I've ever had.



by:

One year later and I am pleased with this ball mount . It
works as intended. My first pull was a 20’ box trailer full of my mom’s stuff so we could move her. Adjusting trailer height is a breeze.



by:

I really can't say enough good things about this company. This is my second purchase and it was delivered fast and free. Now I need to get locks for the hitch because it looks so nice. My first purchase was a fifth wheel hitch and it has been great also.



by:

Great, quality product. The drop is a bit long due to it hitting the ground in some areas I pull my trailer. This of course is my fault.

I had my truck lifted five inches and needed a good drop hitch. After doing some research, I decided to go flash e series aluminum 10 inch adjustable drop hitch.
Fast shipping and a great product...will but again...



by:

Love this. No more having to change hitch balls or hitches themselves. I have an RV and a utility trailer that require different drop lengths and ball sizes. This hitch just made changing so much easier. Plus I love that it can be turned around to save my knees and shins from abuse when I am not pulling.



by:

I just wish I had purchased this adjustable hitch earlier. I use it to pull my boat and cargo trailer. The quality is first rate and the locking pins protect from thieves. Great value. The two hitch balls fit both my trailers and you can invert the hitch as well as adjust to the hole needed. 5 STARS.



by:

Looks hefty enough to handle my needs. I have a mobile auto repair utility trailer, also a light duty trailer I use on the weekend. this Fastway adjustable hitch gives me the versatility without needing several different hitches. THIS WORKS NICE!

Hello, Yes this is working great. I have two trailers. One with all the tools I use for mechanical work and 1 for a motorcycle trailer I use to haul my Harley to my brothers. Ive had no problems and am very happy with it. This is the perfect hitch for my needs. thank you for providing the FA42-00-2900 product.



by:

Heavy duty , looks great

Alex was a tremendous help. I ordered the wrong hitch, and he helped me with getting the correct one and return the other. Plus got it to me overnight so my trip wasn’t delayed. Excellent customer service and products. Check these folks out.

I'll let Alex know that everything arrived in time for your trip, James! Where did you head off to for your trip?



by:

Looks good and functions even better. I have the hitch fully adjusted and never had an issue. Gotten a ton of compliments! Would highly recommend!



by:

This is a great product, well built and matches my chrome bumper. My truck is lowered so I needed a sturdy product with a good rise to compensate. This hitch, along with the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch from etrailer and the Fastway Trailer Hitch locks work together nicely.

  • What Tow Dolly do You Recommend for My 2007 Honda Civic?
    According to the owner's manual for a 2007 Honda Civic 2-door and 4-door owner's manual, you need to only tow short distances using a tow dolly. This is because it is not approved to be flat-towed with all four wheels on the ground. Unfortunately, I recommend not using your Roadmaster tow bar for flat-towing. With that being said, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame - 4,800 lbs # DM9713093. The great thing about the Kar Kaddy X is that it already...

  • Recommended Adjustable Ball Mount With 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for 7,000 lb Trailer
    So the answer to the exact adjustable ball mount you need really depends on the amount of rise or drop you require. If you aren't sure how to measure for that, I've added a link to a help article detailing how to determine that. With that in mind, I'll give you some options, and I also want to point out that adjustable ball mounts do come with both a 2" hitch ball and 2-5/16" hitch ball, though if you never need the 2" ball you can simply store it away. I recommend the Flash E Series...

  • Adjustable Ball Mount With 12 Inch Rise for 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    There is one adjustable ball mount that has a 12 inch rise, but a couple of others that have an 11 inch rise which you can also use and are less expensive; you just need to be within an inch of the correct rise (or drop). So here are the options for you: - 12 Inch Rise: BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 12" Drop/Rise # HD2012 Also needs InfiniteRule Locking Pins for BulletProof Ball Mount # 34061674-D - 11 Inch Rise: Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 10"...

  • Why Cant the Blue Ox 88132 Be Used for Towing a Trailer
    Flat towing is the towing of a vehicle behind a motor home, and the Blue Ox # BX88132 is designed for that and not to handle the tongue weight of a trailer. If you need to tow a trailer and have a ball mount with a rise/drop that extreme your best bet is to use something like the Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w Chrome Balls - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop, 11" Rise # FA42-00-2900, which can be adjusted to fit your needs and used in either a rise or a drop. This ball mount comes with 2" and...

  • Can Trailer That Isn't Level Cause Tire Failure
    When a trailer doesn't ride level it definitely will cause uneven tread wear on the tires that may lead to failure or a blow-out over time. It is always best to pull a trailer as level as possible to not only prevent something like this from happening but also to create a much more enjoyable towing experience with less sway and increased control/stability. It sounds like your new truck sits quite a bit higher than your old tow vehicle, To keep the trailer level when hooked up you are...

  • Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation That Has 14k Capacity
    The Fastway E Series Flash Adjustable Ball Mounts like the part # FA42-00-2900 have a 10k capacity when you use the 2-5/16 inch ball or 8,000 lb capacity when using the 2 inch ball. For a similar setup with a 14k capacity you would need the Curt Ball Mount part # C45900 that has a 14k capacity with the larger ball size and 10k with the smaller size. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
