When you’re towing in windy conditions or being passed by a semi, trailer sway can get nerve-racking fast. The Fastway e2 fights that with its built-in 2-point sway control. Steel trunnion bars press firmly against rigid L-brackets to create friction that resists side-to-side motion and keeps your trailer tracking straight. The steel-on-steel design automatically corrects sway as it happens, giving you a more relaxed and stable towing experience without needing a separate sway bar.
Uneven tongue weight makes your tow vehicle sag in the rear and light in the front, which means less steering control and uneven tire wear. This system balances the load by spreading your 400-to-800-lb tongue weight evenly over the axles of both your vehicle and trailer. Rated for 8,000 lbs gross towing weight, it restores your rig to level so braking, handling, and traction all feel right again. You’ll notice the smoother ride immediately when you pull away.
Getting the setup dialed in is straightforward with the Fastway e2. The head tilt adjusts using stackable washers on the spacer rivet to get the perfect angle for your tongue weight. The no-drill clamp-on sway brackets slide along the trailer frame and can be positioned 27"–30" back from the coupler. They even accommodate frame-mounted gear like toolboxes, gas tanks, or battery boxes. Once it’s set, it stays set, even when you back up into tight campsites.
The e2’s all-steel build gives it a solid, no-nonsense feel from the first time you lift it. The trunnion bars and brackets are built for repeated tension without bending or sagging, and the powder-coated finish resists chips and corrosion. It includes the head assembly, adjustable 2" shank, spring bars, sway control brackets, lift handle, and all mounting hardware—everything you need to get rolling except the hitch ball (1-1/4" diameter shank required). Backed by a 10-year warranty, this setup is made to handle the miles.

Good Product and great service. The order was received quickly and exactly as ordered. The hitch installation was well documented and was easily completed (after purchasing a few larger wrenches). Using this on a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee pulling a 2horse bumper pull trailer. So far, it seems to make the trailer more stable, although I have yet to haul it with both horses loaded.
The dealer installed the hitch when we picked up the new trailer. They made it look easy. Since we pulled away from the lot we have had no issues. Our first trip was 1200 miles over numerous mountain passes in OR, CA & NV. Easy to connect. I'd recommend this hitch to anyone.
I drive a Chevy Silverado Custom and wanted to pull our little travel trailer, with a GVW of just under 4k pounds. The instructions that came with the hitch and video on the e trailer were great. I was able to put the hitch on by myself. The task was not difficult but a little time consuming with the measuring. I was able to pull our little trailer with no problems.
Easy to install, easy-to-follow instructions. Anti-sway worked well at highway speeds and on country roads. It's heavy! Recommend getting one of those hitch carriers or a large tool bag to carry it.
The hitch was more difficult to install than anticipated. We needed to purchase a larger than typical wrench to get the job done. What took most of the time was the adjustments rather than the physical attaching. Make sure you are careful with your measurements! Overall I am very pleased with the product. It definitely helps produce a smoother ride.
There is consistently more pressure on the road side of the hitch regardless of which torsion bar we put on that side, so I’m inclined to think that the engineering of the hitch may be off slightly. We do get some sway when being passed by another vehicle, but that is manageable.
Easy install. The instructions are very simple. However, I bought this for an enclosed cargo trailer so as my load changes the hitch will need adjustment. Seems very strong. Also, the first one I ordered was damaged in shipping. Props to E-Trailer for intercepted the shipment and sending another the same day. Great service!
I purchased this unit for my daughter and son-in-law after they purchased their first RV trailer. I've had a little experience with WDH (weight distribution hitch) and highly recommended and explained this one for them. Installation was straight forward with the simple to understand directions. The balancing of the units went easy after viewing the video at etrailer.com. I feel better knowing they will be traveling safe with this combination sway control and WDH.
This hitch set up was perfect for us. We have a small 21 foot travel trailer and pull it with a standard 2013 1500 Silverado. The hitch did its job lifting the rear of the truck to level. Great sway control. I highly recommend it. When we eventually go with a bigger set up, I WILL be buying this brand again.
Our friends (who had a large Roo trailer) recommended that we get he Equalizer E2 trunnion hitch for our 26-foot Jayco mated to our F150. Everything has been great. It is easy to hook up and disconnect, and when pulling, the trailer is stable and we have had no swaying of any kind. Our [retailer] tech installed it, and we are totally happy with it.
I am still happy with my purchase. 2000 Yukon XL towing apx 3500 lb single axle 19 ft camper. We have done a few 8 hr trips and a lot of local ones. No sway rides smooth. Easy to hook up.

Still working great. No problems. Havent needed any adjustments.
product installed
simple design and easy use makes this a winner in my books.
The only reason I am giving this four stars instead of five is the adjustability of the hitch. For my vehicle, the hitch was either way too high or low, so there is a "watch out" here. I chose for it to be lower, without getting a specially drilled bracket (weekend warrior hauling doesn't justify that). In general, it was extremely easy to install and the instructions were straight forward however they were contradictory with height measurements. First it talks about wanting to put the tow vehicle height halfway between the unhitched height and the initial hitched height, but then it states to put the final heights back to the original measurements. Being an engineer and thinking about it, as well as looking at instructions from other manufacturers, you want the tow vehicle to be as close to the unhitched height as possible. You do NOT want to overcompensate, though. Once I figured that out, it was a piece of cake to set up.
Again, easy to install, easy to hitch, easy to set and unset the torsion bars (using your tongue jack to take the weight off helps a bunch), great sway control, and great weight distribution (if it is set up well). Make certain you always keep the trunion pivot pins well greased to avoid wear, so buy a tube or two of grease and keep it with the hitch.
This hitch is so much easier and quicker to use than my hold one that had chains holding the load leveler arms. It’s also better for sway instead of the brake pad. No need to remove anything when you back up.
I will update this review after I have installed the Weight Distribution system on my unit, but I wanted to give a special thank you to Vanessa who did an outstanding job of getting me a part that had broken out of the box during shipment. She did a great job of keeping me up to date on the status of my missing item. The item was very heavy and the packing it came in today was outstanding. Many thanks.

The Weight Distribution system has been working great. I have had only one minor problem in that the L bracket hangers have bowed slightly which has caused the bottom of the hanger to shift to the rear of the trailer. I have torque the hanger bolts per the installation instructions. Since the bottom bolt of the hanger assembly does not touch the bottom of the trailer rail, I am going to try and add a spacer between it an the trailer rail to see if that alleviates the issue. Load sharing is great and I have never had the trailer sway on me at all. I am open to suggestions on other ways to solve this issue. By the way I am in the process of upgrading this unit for my new toy hauler. Going up to the 1,200 12,000 lb unit.
Initially sway control worked as designed but as friction material wore away, sway control decreased and hitch became noisy. I contacted Fastway and they said the wearing of the friction material was normal and I could replace the worn part (at my expense) if I wanted. Hitch seems to no longer control sway. A total waste of money!

Most of the steel on steel friction based systems will have wear and tear which will mean replacing parts every so often. If you want a system that does not use solely friction on friction then take a look at the straight line system from part # RP66084.
I communicated a few times with Miranda in Customer Service, during and after my purchase. Miranda was helpful, knowledgeable and quick to respond!! The product seems well made and pretty easy to install with the exception of high torque requirements on two bolts and trailer ball. I'd give the install instructions a 4 STAR rating. The install of the spacer washers concerning the "head pitch" are vague with no picture. I referred to a Video for clarification on the install.

I just sold my 2020, 20ft Toyhauler, after one year and only about 6 trips. Thanks COVID! I’ve never towed anything the size of a camper and would highly recommend the E2 assembly! The E2 makes the camper feel like a continuation of my RAM 1500 V6. Lots of back roads and mountain towing and always in control! Only concern, when I removed the E2 tongue brackets when i sold the camper last month, one of the four factory nuts and bracket was a little loose? Picking up new 2021 Transcend next weekend!
I did my research and this product fit the bill to a T. I get the benefit of sway control and weight distribution in this package. Very happy.
A big plus for me is this weight distribution hitch allows me to back in to camping spaces with NO discernible hitch noise! It is very quiet.
I would recommend this product. It has a more favorable price point than Equal-i-zer.

I am still very pleased with the product. I often look at other weight distribution setups and feel the Fastway is superior.
This appears to be an excellent weight distribution/sway system. I'll test on a long haul later this year but short 30 minute trip went without a hitch (no pun intended).Installation was not hard and the instruction manual was really good. I rated only 4 stars for several reasons. First, buying a 2-5/16" trailer ball is not a problem but finding a RV shop with a torque wrench capable of 450 ft/lbs is really tough. Have you priced a 450 ft/lb torque wrench lately? Most will lie and just use a pneumatic impact gun. I feel that all manufacturers and/or their dealers should sell the proper size ball and offer to attach at no charge if they feel the torque value is that important. By the way, you need a 1-7/8 inch THIN-WALLED socket to attach the ball. You will also need a 3/4, 1-1/8, and 1-1/4 inch socket for the installation. The next highest torque value was 250 ft/lbs. I do find the trailer.com videos a great job aid!!! Each installer does things slightly different sometimes so it's good to watch several videos nd compare all the tips and tricks. If you don't want to invest in additional tools, find a reputable RV shop that is willing to install the system correctly.

After one year, I would recommend the FASTWAY-weight distribution hitch. The trip to west Texas encountered high winds on I-10 around Sonora and plenty of big truck traffic yet no problems whatsoever with sway. So far, I am happy with my purchase.
Great fit and easy to install. You will need large sockets.
this is my first WDH, but so far so good
Installed today with no problems. My Frontier Pro4x now sits level with a fully loaded truck and camper. etrailer staff did an excellent job of guiding me to the right sized hitch. Smooth ride, I'm happy!
E2 weight distribution/anti-sway system arrived right on time. The PET was easy to follow and the unit was easy to install. I had to make some slight modifications to my travel trailer to make it fit. I followed the step by step instructions to adjust the unit and just pulled it to the lake camp sight. It performed incredibly well, and the difference before and after is unbelievable!
I am very pleased on the performance of our E2 hitch. Being from central Montana, it can be quite windy along the mountains. With a 28 ft camper this was my greatest concern as most of our trips are into the mountains. The hitch leveled out the trailer, distributed the weight and controlled the wind gusts as I had hoped and expected. Jennifer was super helpful when there was an issue with my order online. She took care of the issue and had our hitch on its way.
Installed the Fastway E2 hitch on an 2019 F150 to tow a 19 ft travel trailer (E-Pro 19FD) which has 480 ibs tongue weight, trailer loaded is about 3800 lbs. I towed a few trips without a WDH and there was an annoying "bounce" or teetering at the hitch point (on roads that were not perfectly smooth) and a small amount of sway at highway speeds. I Just finished testing and the hitch reduced the bounce and sway and improved overall handling. I did have a problem with the UPS delivery and Nicol T at etrailer immediately got it straightened out and I called customer support with an install question and they were also excellent. My truck already had the timbrem SES rear suspension kit and I needed to know if that changed the install process (since the bed of the truck will not go down once the bumpers is on the axel - about 1 inch). Anyone installing this hitch - watch the install video along with the instruction manual...

Excellent, I now have taken a few long trips towing the trailer, total 8000 miles. 90 of driving conditions are excellent. Highway driving when there is a lot of truck traffic, trailer is jumping around and swaying and you have to slow down to 60, which is dangerous with the trucks passing At 75..
Do you have a question about this Weight Distribution Hitch?
