Video Transcript for Review of Fastway Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - Flash Force Adj 2 Ball Mount 2-1/2 Inch Hitch - FA63FR

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Fastway Flash Force Adjustable Two Ball Mount for your 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver. Now this is an adjustable dual ball mount that's designed to make towing different trailers a whole lot easier for you and a whole lot more convenient. So for instance, instead of swapping out different ball mounts every time you tow a different trailer, this one has two built-in hitch balls. You're gonna have your two inch and then your 2 5/16 inch hitch ball.

And just to show you how easy it is that it's going to be to swap between the two, I just removed my clip and pin that holds the ball secured. All you have to do is rotate it just like that. So there's your two inch ball, then you're back on your 2 5/16 inch ball. So that's how easy it's going to be. And I'm just gonna find the appropriate holes here, line that up, and then you'll be good to go.

So as I mentioned, this is going to fit into your 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver, which is typically what you find on your heavy duty trucks. The hitch balls are chrome plated and that's gonna help prevent rust and corrosion, so they should hold up well for you over time. In terms of capacity, when you're using the 2 5/16 inch ball, you're gonna have a towing capacity up to 18,000 pounds. With the two inch ball, it's gonna be up to 8,000 pounds. So obviously, one of the biggest advantages here is going to be the adjustable height.

So again, we'll just remove the clips and the pins here on the other side. And so that's going to allow you to move the ball platform up and down in one inch increments. And this is going to give you about a 7 1/2 drop or rise. Obviously, when you want to use this in the rise position, you'll flip the shank over. But you can see how easy this is going to be to get that adjustability.

And then also this is stowable. So you just flip the ball platform around like that. Obviously, you'll secure it with pin and clips, you'll match up the holes, secure it with pin and clips. So you're not gonna have to worry about banging your shins up when you're walking behind your truck and you're accidentally hitting the ball. And then when you're ready to use it, we'll just flip it back out, just like that. So some great features here. I'm gonna go ahead and secure this back into place real quick, so I'm not flopping around all over the place on my table. And the pins slide very easily, whether you're removing them or replacing them, and they're gonna hold up well for you as well. In regards to durability, the whole unit's made from solid forged steel with finish in a black corrosion-resistant coating. So again, this is gonna hold up really well for you over time. And this also has an anti-theft design. So when used with locking pins, locking hitch pins, rather, which are sold separately from this, the ball mount can't be removed from the hitch. And I went ahead and took some measurements just so you have a good idea of the size. So measuring from the center of our first hitch pin hole to the center of the ball, we're sitting at about 9 3/8 inches. Moving to the center of the second hitch pin hole to the center of the ball, about 10 1/2 inches. And then from the center of the second hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, about 2 3/8 inches. Now, if you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this or anything that we have here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out. We wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
