Specs:
This Fastway Flash Solid Steel Series ball mount offers exceptional durability and strength while maintaining a high-quality appearance. Its solid forged steel construction is durable and sturdy enough to last for years to come. With a rust-resistant glossy finish, this ball mount will make any vehicle look fantastic.
The adjustable ball height lets you tow a variety of trailers with different tongue heights. Having both a 2" ball and a 2-5/16" ball allows for even more versatility, making this the ultimate go-to ball mount if you own multiple trailers.
Changing Ball Height and Replacing Balls
To adjust the height of the ball, remove the included pins so that you are able to slide the ball platform up or down along the shank to the desired position. Re-insert the pins once you have found the correct height. Switching the hitch ball is just as easy. Simply remove the pins holding the ball platform in place and slide the platform off of the shank. Flip the platform upside down so that the ball you want to use is on top. Then slide the ball platform back onto the shank and replace the pins and clips.

Forged steel shank is powder coated for corrosion resistance.If own a truck with a 2 1/2 hitch box this is the tow hitch ball kit! This is the Hulk of hitches! Great quality and durability. There is nothing I can tow or pull out of out of a muddy ditch! I’ve owned many truck and bought hitches. This is my first time with a 2 1/2 box and I feel very confident. The best hitch I’ve ever owned!
Vicente - 08/12/2021Best hitch I’ve ever used. It’s heavier than I expected, but then again, I’ve never owned a hitch rated for 20k lbs and 2k tongue weight. As beefy as this hitch is, it doesn’t extend the ball mount too far out like others, to where the chains barely reach sometimes. Can’t beat the price, similar weight rated hitches can go for double the price of this one, and honestly if price where the same, I’d still choose this one. Normally anything I tow over 10k lbs, is gooseneck trailers. Today I moved this tiny home that weighed in at 13k lbs and 2k tongue, about 50 miles away. Did not have a problem traveling at speed limit with hardly any swaying.
The product was as expected, looked good, installation was straight forward & accomplished in approximately 15 minutes including unpacking. However a longer warranty would instill more confidence in the hitch.

This is the poorest made hitch I’ve ever used. I’d be better served buying a Reese hitch from Walmart. The ball was wiggling after the second use. The company that makes this product won’t make it right. If u gonna spend money to buy a good hitch, buy a bullet proof. Fast way are junk. Don’t waste ur money here.
I chose this product because it gave me the full towing capacity of my GMC AT4 3500, the cleanest look for an adjustable height hitch, and the quick ability to switch between two ball sizes. The ordering was easy and shipping was quick, and this thing is heavy duty. Love it!
William - 12/17/2020Product came in 4 days of ordering, very heavy duty feel. Can't wait to actually hook it to the my dump trailer later this weekend. I do wish there was a way to lock the ball head to the hitch.
Rachael H - 06/08/2019Shopping at eTrailer was a good experience. Their website is well organized and easy to negotiate. The inventory is extensive and I found just the right hitch. The 2 1/2" drop down hitch works well with my multiple trailers. The quality is first rate and shipping was fast. No problems with the transaction. I will be shopping eTrailer again for all my trailer and RV accessories. Thanks
Amazing hitch! I have it on my 17’ ram 2500 and I couldn’t be happier! Very sold construction and switching from a 2 5/16 - 2 inch ball is flawless and easy, thank you etrailer for have the best service around
Nathan Y - 05/06/2021I haven't pulled with it yet, but out of the box it seems very sturdy. I like the finished gloss black. I believe if your gonna use an adjustable hitch you need to invest in an anti rattle stabilizer since there is two parts of the hitch that can rattle. (The reciever and the hitch adjustment)
Extremely heavy duty. Easy to change heights. Only thing that could make it any better would be a pin lock on adjustable part of receiver
Haven’t towed with it yet, but I’m pleased with it for the price. After research I determined this hitch doesn’t push the ball a mile away from the truck like some other adjustable ball mounts. For the ratings it can’t be beat for the price. Extremely fast shipping from etrailer.com.
This is awesome. I used to have a ball and a receiver for the three kinds of trailers I pull, Now I use this one for all my trailer needs. It also has a 12,000 limit with a 2"ball so pulling a Mini excavator or skid steer loader with no worries of exceeding the limits.
John - 08/24/2020This is 'the bossman' of hitches. Built to last. EZ to operate. Perfect for towing a variety of trailers. It's 5 star.
Installation is easily done in 30 minutes in the driveway. Some maneuvering is needed to get the Curt receiver past the factory receiver mounting brackets. There is a clearance issue between the Curt receiver and a factory crossmember on both sides which can be remedied by adding a 3/4" grade 8 washer between the receiver and the frame on each side. It is easiest to torque down the four vertical bolts before installing the two horizontal ones as they interfere with getting a socket on the two rear vertical bolts. Curt did a good job eliminating all failure points (bolts) on the receiver hitch itself and the welds are solid. Overall the Curt receiver is overkill in a good way and it would be hard for even a good fabricator to design one that is stronger. Included are pictures of how it looks on a relatively tall factory height 2009 Dodge 3500 DRW with a 6" Fastway drop and 1220 pounds of tongue weight.
This is the best hitch I have ever purchased, superb quality.
Hitch ball mount remains loose when not in use and bounces around a lot, especially on every bump. Being able to adjust the hitch height is nice, but the connection should have more “tight” fit so less play when not connected
I order this item for a gentlemen in the catering business to pull multiple size ball trailers. I installed it yesterday on his truck and he was totally amazed with the quality and happy to know he did not have to carry multiple receiver hitches. He had just purchased a new truck and he loved it. Thanks
Sharon - 01/24/2020Love it! Bought so I didn't have to worry about having multiple hitches. Plus with the 2-1/2" shank, don't have to worry about my dad or brother stealing it (doesn't fit there trucks). Have 2 trailers that I mainly pull with this. One has a 2" ball and the other 2-5/16". Have had dump trailer gross out at 17,000lbs with load and weight of trailer and this has held up great. Normally in the 14,000 to 15,000 lb. range. Not a Con for me, but this thing is heavy. I don't know what it weighs, but may be a negative for some people.
What I like • The fact that I do not need a spacer between typical class 2 hitch and my truck • Good overall design. What I do not like • The hitch starts rusting almost immediately where the hitch slides into the receiver. • The Powder coating starts flaking off within 2 months and continues to flake to this day. • The Pins that hold the Ball mount must have never seize or they will require you to tap with a hammer when adjusting height or flipping from one to the other. Why didn’t I return the Hitch? I am a very detailed person who is good about maintenance, so I use Corrosion X regularly anyway, so I spray the hitch as well and keep on trucking!
The fast way hitch is built solid. Use it daily for towing 18,000 lbs. Will get another as my fleet grows.
Heavy duty hitch…simple 2 adjust…luv it!
Looks great. Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet.
Glenn G - 08/19/2021Great stout receiver hitch! I use it for pulling my travel trailer and my horse trailer, flip it over and I can pull my smaller utility trailer. Super heavy duty, I also purchased locking pins for it, it would definitely get stolen otherwise when I leave it on the truck. The only negative I can say about it is the paint fades quickly when left on the vehicle for an period of time, otherwise highly recommend!
Shipping was fast from etrailer and the price was good. I used the hitch to pull a flat bed out of storage, but haven't gone down the road yet. It is easy to use and very heavy duty. As some other reviews mention, there is a little too much of a gap so the hitch may rattle in the hitch when in use. There may be a product out there that can be used to fill-in and stop the rattle. I also bought the Hitch Locks (FA86-00-4225) and they work great. For the price, this is a great adjustable ball mount.
