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.

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.
by: Steven 08/31/2023
Awesome job Tammy and thank you for getting this order out to me so quickly. Will definitely order again next.
by: Dr. Perry12/09/2014
Got that package and had it mounted in less than ten minutes. Finish is excellent and both locks worked flawlessly. Looks beautiful! My wife is buying jewelry. This is more my style.
Thanks for a great product.

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.
by: Caleb E09/08/2015
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

I shopped around and did my homework to find which hitch would best suit my needs for towing behind a 2013 Ram 2500 diesel. I chose this hitch then found the best price on Etrailer. Easy to use website. Delivered within a week. Emails updating me with the tracking info. I would recommend.
The hitch pins were off by 1/8in which made it really tight to put into the receiver. Called the manufacturer and they handled the issue immediately.
by: James M.10/24/2015
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.
by: Country Boys Auction05/30/2014
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!

I love it I would buy it all over again
by: Tony05/30/2016
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.
by: Tyson 05/07/2014
Great product very happy with the quality and the looks great company to deal with.
by: Art09/02/2014
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.
by: Tim08/13/2015
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.
by: Arno04/24/2020
This product is very well thought out and the workmanship is top notch. I have looked at a number of two ball hitches and this is the best that I have seen. I pull a cargo trailer and a boat. It will be nice not changing out hitches anymore.
by: Tim 06/27/2021
Great set up unfortunately the hitch I ordered on may 11will be on back order until September no one at e trailer communicated this to me I would check status and see still awaiting stock well I sent a couple of emails and received no response so I called and they offered this as a subistite at much higher price point I needed a hitch ASAP so I bought it it will be my final purchase thru e trailer
by: Steve V02/14/2015
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.
by: Santo Guerrera06/18/2014
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.
by: Duke08/24/2014
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.
by: Maddog04/07/2015
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
by: KenD03/31/2014
Every picture tells a story. The 2 most popular hitch size. Internal lock feature meaning anti thief proof. No key, no takey. Solid chrome through out, adjustable. That's why I spent the money and purchased, it was well worth it. Hassel free and the finish well add more character to your vehicle. You always get what you pay for. but in this case much more. If you have a Harley make sure you take the right key as they appear the same.
by: Tom04/07/2014
Love this hitch it is my second one. the first one was for a 2" hitch but i bought a bigger truck with a class V hitch so i had to buy a new one. highly recommend it!
by: Richard05/24/2019
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!
by: Kevin S.04/15/2016
Yea it works great, love the 2" and 2 5/16 ball combo ..For the multiple trailers I have to tow what a convenience.
by: Tim, Bluffdale Utah10/21/2014
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
by: Nick B.01/13/2014
Amazing product! I have had one for my f150 and just purchased the 2.5 receiver for my f350. Etrailer was very diligent in shipping it out to me both times. Would definitely recommend using etrailer and this product.

See what our Experts say about this Fastway Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Video That Shows How to Remove Lock Core of Fastway Adjustable Ball MountThere is a re-keying kit we offer for the ball mount part # DTALBM6625 it is part # DTLBM02RK. It comes with new lock cores and a wrench that allows you to remove the lock cores. I attached an install video for the kit that will walk you through the entire process. Basically on the very top under a sticker that removes and exposes an allen bolt. When that's loose the core slides out.
view full answer... - DiversiTech Adjustable Ball Mount Does Not Fit Ford 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Easily and Lock is Hard to TurnThe first problem is occurring because the Ford 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch has a different corner radius than what most all accessories have. There is no easy or safe way to fix this problem. Over time it will eventually get easier and easier to insert and remove the ball mount. The lock problem is usually a result of a lack of lubrication. Use a spray white lithium grease (NOT WD40) to lubricate the lock and the pins as best as you can and that should help it to actuate easier and prevent...
view full answer... - Is an Adjustable Ball Mount with 8 Inch Drop Too Much Drop for a 2005 Ford F-150 4x4You never know what you might end up towing in the future so having more rise or drop is beneficial. To determine the exact rise or drop needed to tow any trailer level you can follow the help article I have linked for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Adjustable Ball Mount For 2-1/2 Inch Trailer ReceiversFor an adjustable ball mount with a 10,000-lb capacity you can check out part # DTALBM6625. This is the Fastway Self-Locking, Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount with 6-inch drop and 7-inch rise.
view full answer... - Comparing the Weight Capacities of Diversi-Tech Self-Locking, Adjustable, Aluminum Ball MountsThe Self-Locking, Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount, # DTALBM6625-3S, uses stainless steel balls. The stainless balls can handle more weight than the same size chrome ball. This is why # DTALBM6625-3S can handle up to 12,000 pounds when used with the 2-5/16 inch ball.
view full answer... - Difference Between the Diversi-Tech # DTALBM6625 and # DTALBM6625-2SThe only difference between the two ball mounts is that the trailer ball assembly of the # DTALBM6625-2S is stainless steel, while the ball assembly of the # DTALBM6625 is chrome plated steel. The stainless steel trailer ball assembly will be more corrosion resistant over time. Once the chrome plating of the ball assembly of the # DTALBM6625 is worn away, the assembly will be susceptible to corrosion. If you plan on using the ball mount quite a bit, you might want to go with the # DTALBM6625-2S. Also...

All of the 2-1/2 inch adjustable ball-mounts we carry have an adapter attached. I recommend part # DTSTBM6625. This ball mount has a 6 inch drop and 7 inch rise with increments of 1 inch for adjusting. It has an adjustable pin in the top of the shank that protrudes through the adapter that prevents rattling. The attached balls measure 2 inches and 2-5/16 inches. I have attached...

- Will Fastway Self-Locking, Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Work With Class V Trailer HitchIf the Class V trailer hitch you have installed has a 2-inch receiver opening, then the Self-Locking, Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount, part # DTALBM6800 will work great for you. This ball mount includes a 2-inch hitch ball and a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball. This mount has a maximum rise of 9 inches and a maximum drop of 8 inches with 1 inch increments. When used with the 2 inch hitch ball the towing capacity is 8,000 lbs and when used with the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball the towing capacity increases...
view full answer... - Could Fastway Adjustable Ball Mount from 2.5 inch Hitch Fit 2 inch HitchWhile it does look like there's a sleeve that could be removed from the # DTALBM6625 to allow it to fit a 2 inch hitch there's more to it than that as the locking pin mechanism is wider as well so it couldn't fit into a 2 inch hitch. So even if you somehow got the sleeve off of the shank the pins couldn't retract far enough to allow it to fit into a 2 inch hitch. So you'd have to go to the 2 inch version of this with part # DTALBM6600.
view full answer... - Diversi-Tech Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2-1/2 inch HitchSince you have a 2-1/2 inch hitch installed on your 2014 Ram 2500 you would instead want the part # DTALBM6625. This is basically the exact same adjustable ball mount as the # DTALBM6600 that you referenced except it is designed to fit a 2-1/2 inch hitch. You would need to remove your adapter sleeve and this would work well.

This will do 6 inches of drop and 7 inches of rise. Other than that this ball mount is the exact same as the DTALBM6825. For an upgraded version of this ball mount you would want the part # DTALBM6625-2S. This comes with stainless steel balls that will resist corrosion much better than the chrome plated balls of the # DTALBM6625. The locks have rubber covers that are...

view full answer... - How Well Do the Locking Mechanisms Stand Up in the Diversi-Tech Aluminum Ball MountsWe have not had any complaints regarding the Self-Locking, Aluminum Ball Mount, # DTALBM6625, locking up or freezing. Sometimes you may need to lift up on or jostle the ball mount to take pressure off of it so it is easier to turn the key. Diversi-Tech recommends using air tool oil in the locking mechanisms to keep it in good working condition. You can check out the customer reviews on the product page. I have also included a link to a video review for you.

Many products offer additional coating over traditional steel or chrome plating to help prevent corrosion, but the better option to combat corrosion...

For a comparable 2" receiver option you will need to use the Fastway Self-Locking 2-Ball Mount # DTALBM6600 which will have the same 2" and 2 5/16" hitch ball and 6" drop/7" rise as your current ball mount.

For instance, on my 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 the top of the receiver opening is 20 inches from the ground when parked on a level surface.

If you have a 2" receiver on your Ram 2500 you would need to go with the Diversi-Tech Ball Mount, # DTALBM6600 , or the Diversi-Tech Ball Mount, # DTALBM6800 .

If this is something you were considering attempting, my Diversi-Tech rep recommended having you call them directly at 800-950-0141 so they can walk you through the process.

He said that they most often see something like this happen when the hitch has been overloaded. You will want to make sure to abide by the 10,000 pound towing capacity of the ball mount.

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!
