This cutaway view of the shank shows the locking mechanism in action. The locking pins extend out from the shank when the key is turned, locking the ball mount into the hitch.
The ball platform locks to the ball mount with an internal lock. When you unlock the platform you can slide it up or down to adjust the ball height. You can also slide the platform off, reverse it, and slide it back on to change ball sizes.

Today we're gonna take a look at the Fastway flash self locking adjustable aluminum two ball mount for 2 1/2" inch hitch with a 6" drop and a 7" rise. Now this adjustable ball mount will make it very easy for you to haul different trailers. The ball height can be adjusted in increments of one inch so that you can easily switch between trailers that have different tongue heights and the ball platform is reversible so it will let you swap between two different size balls. The larger 2 5/16 diameter and the 2".And the shank portion right there this is what will slide into your 2 1/2" hitch receiver. Now this ball mount does use a nice convenient self locking system that will lock the ball mount to your receiver tube and lock the ball platform to the ball mount. These built in locks can't get lost like other kinds of hitch locks, they do have the lock seals on them that when you open them up these lock seals are double sealed, helps keep out water from the lock, helps resist corrosion, requires no maintenance.The keys they use are the pick resistant tube style keys and you can see they do include four keys.
Just to show you how to lock this to your hitch, basically again just open the seal right up here. Once you get that seal open take your key, stick it right in there and you can see the pin right here is extended outwards so just turn it 180 degrees and you can see as you turn it track set pin now you'll be able to slide this into your 2 1/2" hitch receiver, line it up with the pin hole and then just turn this back 180 degrees and you'll notice that extends out and locks it into place.So simple as that. And just put your seal back over your lock, other shank on this ball mount is machined from a solid piece of aircraft grade build aluminum. The solid aluminum produces a light weight yet very strong ball mount. And it avoids any welds which can cause weak points that might break.
And if you notice the whole ball mount has a nice polish finish to it to create a high quality appearance.The hitch balls are chrome plated steel hitch balls and this part is made in the USA. Again a few specs on this, it's designed to fit a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" trailer hitch receiver. The ball diameters again 2 5/16 two inch. Now the towing capacity on this ball mount will just depend on which ball you use to tow with. If you use the larger 2 5/16 ball 10000 lbs is your towing capacity and that's stamped on top of the ball.
If you use a smaller two inch balls 8000 lbs, towing weight capacity will be 1000 lbs.Now the maximum drop which I have in the maximum drop position right now we're gonna measure, that's measured from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform. Maximum drop is six inches. If you flip it over and use it in the maximum rise position same way measure from the top of the shank top of the ball platform and max rise will be seven inches. Now the distance from the center of this hitch pin right here to the back of this upright bar is gonna be right at 4 1/4" and the distance from the center of this hitch pin right here to the center of the hitch ball, that is gonna be right at 8 1/2".And the last thing I want to do is just demonstrate this ball platform how you can remove it, flip it over to use a different ball size or put it in different height adjustment. So what we're gonna do is remove this seal, put our lock in, turn it and you'll notice it'll release it.
Then you will be able to slide out the shank, flip this over if you want to use the two inch ball, gotta flip it back to use the larger 2 5/16 and then to adjust it you can see the holes here they're in one inch increments so you can slide it up or down to get the correct, to tow your trailer level. So what you'll do is just line it up with whatever hole you need and then once you get it in that hole, just turn it and lock it into place, put your seal back in there and now you're locked at that height that you need correct for your application and you're all ready to go. But that should do it for the review on Fastway flash self locking adjustable aluminum two ball mount for a 2 1/2" inch hitch with a 6" drop or a 7" rise.

I love the ease of having the locks built in and the keys matching both locks. Its a really great looking hitch as well. Exactly what I was looking for in a top quality adjustable hitch! 646367
Well made unit still functioning properly. Comes in handy having both size balls there for the choosing. 611371
Works great. Very easy to switch from one position to another 608891
This Hitch is excellent, easy to use and looks great on the back of my F250. 510477
Better than I expected! locking system works perfectly and I really like the polish aluminum . Very satisfied overall with the hitch... 469317
Best Hitch set up I have had. It is my second one....this one being a 2 1/2 inch unit! Looks great and works great! 457097
Excellent product and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I should had purchased the stainless steel balls though, the chrome went away within the first few uses and now they look rusted. 356537
No regrets, pull a trailer a few times a week. Makes it nice 352569
This product came as advertised. It is heavy duty, strong, and durable. I bought this because of the locking pin mechanism. Everything works smoothly and it was a great investment. 346702
I am in the marine business and because of this I tow ALOT. I use my trailer ball everyday several times a day and have to make many adjustments due to the different size trailers I pull. This hitch is by far the absolute worse hitch I have ever owned. Just to turn the key since day one feels like you are going to break the key off due to the fact it is so stiff. The alignment of the pins has to be so perfect that I have spent several minutes before just trying to get everything to lock in place. It was so disappointing I threw it in the trash. What an absolute waist of money this is. If you want a pretty and shiny hitch that's worthless to use then this is the hitch for you. 340095
Excellent workmanship/material 326958
Heat product my 17 ram 2500 mega cab looks great with this hitch I love it. 323543
I love it I would buy it all over again
High quality hitch. Would definitely r ecommend. 322052
High quality. fast delivery 285322
great looking and functional hitch. a lil pricy but nice. looks too good to use. like the 1 key fits both. no extra pins to keep up with. 284492
The product is awesome. The shipping however was not. The box arrived open and in bad shape. One of keys barrels is not round as it was badly hit evidently. The other issue is that one of the pins to lock it in does not really retract all the way. It went into my hitch only by smacking it real hard until it reached the holes. I hope it is not a fail point. I truly believe this is a great product so i still give it five starts but shipping does need to improve....maybe better packaging. 269803
It has been over a year now. I love this product. It moves easily every time. I highly recommend to anyone in the market. I still am having issues with the retraction of one pin that locks it to the receiver. I need a hammer and something against the pin to smack it in all the way so I can remove it. Very difficult. Luckly I dont take it off much. I truly believe this was caused in shipping is it was pretty banged up. Still a great product!
Sound like the lock cores might be damaged. We do offer replacements and there is video that shows how to replace them. You might check out the video, it may be possible that your lock cylinders are not lined up correctly.
--Very prompt delivery, and receiver hitch looks great on my truck. Looks like a well made product. 262384
Great product, still working as advertised. As I tow trailers and some ball mounted equipment, the adjustable feature is really nice. I do wish I had opted for the stainless steel option versus the chrome ball. Chrome came off on the first tow somewhat. Other than that no issues or problems. Wonder if a person can change out the balls? It also gets lots of looks. 253822
A bit concerned that the product is aluminum but working well thus far. Chrome came off the ball on the first trip. Overall, good product. 252433
Yea it works great, love the 2" and 2 5/16 ball combo ..For the multiple trailers I have to tow what a convenience. 244437
Nicest hitch I've ever seen. Quick delivery and well worth the money. 232192
No complaints. Great product. Probably gonna buy one for dad for Christmas.
Looks like it's very well built...installed on truck...seems very loose and sloppy inside housing,seems to lock in place but still loose and noisey...will see what happens when i tow boat... 231117
First off, this is a beautifully made ball mount. Even though it is aluminum, it is still pretty heavy. It looks like it could tow anything. I needed the adjustability because I'm not sure what I'll be towing in the future. I had to return the first one I ordered. The key got stuck and wouldn't come out. They key for adjusting the balls worked fine. ETrailer was very prompt in sending me out another one. The second one was stiff, but became easier to use after several cycles. I towed with it for 300 miles and it worked great. I like the feature that you can turn the ball around and lock it out of the way, so you don't accidently rub up against it and get grease on your pants. I'm very pleased with it so far. I'm just a bit leery now with the key getting stuck, that I promptly removed it from the truck and keep it inside when not in use. I would have gave it an excellent rating except for the key issue. 230680
Got my new hitch faster then I expected which was great cause I already had a few trailers I wanted to move around. It is a good fit on the class V hitch (maybe a hair small so it jiggles not bad) The locks are great and gives it a nice clean line. The lock covers fit nice and snug so no way to fall open and let dirt in (Like some others.) I have only had this for a short while but have pulled my camper, a car trailer(flat bed dove tail) and my brothers boat this is where the drop really came in handy. He has a ski boat with the prop under the boat so the trailer has to sit flat and low. This hitch stepped up to that challenge like it was nothing. Great hitch I'am very very happy Thank you 224432
This is a nice hitch. Construction seems solid and I like the keys for the balls and the "pin". The lack of a pin is nice and it works well. The only reason I did not give this a better rating is it is fairly sloppy in the receiver. I am surprised at how much play there is between the hitch and the receiver. Nice finish and otherwise a nice hitch. 219070
Great product. Well made and looks great! Very good design and machined. Plus it's made in the USA! 217377
Very nice drawbar, great if you pull multiple trailers with different hitch heights. 203244
Been towing for years with standard hitches, this one makes it so much easier if you pull several trailers and looks great! 196801
Great product. It was ordered on Sunday night and arrived on Wednesday. I hauled my 5x8 then switched the ball for my 28 ft camper. 193999
Nice hitch. Looks great and is secure. 185959
This is the best, most secure, adjustable double ball hitch on the market and I have looked at them all. As soon as my neighbor saw it he ordered one too. etrailer.com by far had the best price 183948
PROMPT DELIVERY and A GOOD LOOKING PRODUCT... These Guys do Business the Way I like: PROMPT and Courteous!!! 176144
Arrived on time service was incredible, I've been waiting for a long time to get a quality hitch with a two and one-half inch receiver and this product fits the bill. I am a commercial tower and appreciate good quality. 174712
Service was great shipped super fast . I like the locking feature .And It has a nice clean look and finish . Going to us it to pull the boat. 173245

Very fast shipping, seriously high quality product and an overall superior experience. 157739
ordered my hitch on Saturday or Sunday received it early Wednesday morning came out of the box it was everything he claim to be I would recommend this hitch to anybody going to enjoy using it 157286
Great product, shipped quickly, great customer service.. Thumbs UP !! 152108
Order follow up and customer service were outstanding. Shipping was quick. Product as advertised and appears very solid and durable. Already pulled my 6k boat and 3k utility trailers and it works as expected. Just be aware that the chrome balls are not covered by the warranty and will show wear - it's unavoidable. I would readily recommend this product to a friend. 149634
Great looking design and the craftsmanship. It worked exactly as I expected it would, in lockng into the receiving hitch. The only problem I had was the plastic caps that go over the key holes, once pulled out they don't want to fit back in properly. 148223
Great product!! My #1 choice for hitch hands down! 146327
In general this hitch is a well built product that operates as advertised! Tolerances are somewhat open for a slight movment and "clunking" during directional changes. That being said it does change position easily as planed and locks in securely. 136267
What a great addition to our 2015 Chevrolet. With the new higher stance of the HD trucks, this hitch allows us to adjust for various load and trailer heights. Also, this hitch eliminates the aggravation of the sleeve insert that comes with the larger receivers. No more fuss trying to align multiple holes to insert the pin. The lock provides awesome security as well, we have lost numerous hitches from our trucks. We will be ordering these hitches for all of our trucks. We can always count on etrailer.com for quality products! 133428
