Create a more stable ride for your tow vehicle and trailer with a weight-distribution hitch. Adding spring bars to your towing system applies leverage, which transfers the load that is pushing down on the rear of your vehicle to all the axles on both your tow vehicle and your trailer, resulting in an even distribution of weight throughout. The result is a smooth, level ride, as well as the ability to tow the maximum capacity of your hitch.
Selecting a Weight-Distribution System
The tongue weight rating is the most important factor in determining which size weight-distribution system you should use. If the bars of the system you choose are rated too high for your setup, they will create a rigid ride, which can result in a bouncing trailer. If, on the other hand, the bars are not rated high enough, the system will be unable to properly distribute the weight, rendering it virtually useless.
To determine the proper weight rating for a weight-distribution system, you must first determine your trailer's tongue weight. Then add to that the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. These two measurements make up the tongue weight rating for a weight-distribution system.
Fastway e2 Sway Control
The two points of sway control within the e2 are created by the steel-on-steel friction that occurs when the spring bars slide within the L-brackets that are mounted on the trailer tongue. Most traditional weight-distribution systems have spring bars that are suspended by chains. Although this ensures that the system is not so rigid as to create bounce in the trailer, it also allows a good deal of side-to-side play in the system.
The direct friction that is applied to the spring bars in the e2 system helps to stop sway once it has begun. The concept is similar to the way in which an add-on friction sway control device functions. When each spring bar moves forward or backward, or side to side, it rubs along the bracket, creating friction. The resistance created by this action limits the movement of the spring bar, thus preventing further side-to-side movement of the trailer.
Most add-on units feature some sort of friction material similar to that used in automotive brakes. But the e2 uses direct steel-on-steel contact to create resistance. This is the same sort of friction that is used with locomotives that pull loaded railcars weighing tons. No additional materials are needed. The steel will outlast any of those other materials, providing an extremely durable, functional sway-control system.

I bought the hitch to tow our Winnebago 2108 DS, which has a dry hitch weight of 436 lb (~559 lb gross). So I bought the FA92-00-0600 model. Our tow vehicle is a GMC 1500. I followed Fastway’s instructions for setting up the hitch. At first glance, they seem a bit technical, with measuring the front of the vehicle, etc. But it was really pretty straightforward. I used the recommended 6 washers and it was perfect. I used my torque wrench, except for the ball – I just gave that everything I had. I am an amateur mechanic, and I found the hitch to be well-engineered and well-built. Definitely a quality product. Towing is inherently dangerous overall and can be stressful if not done right. So quality was important to me for a component that is so critical to the experience.
My experience towing was that I was pleasantly surprised. There is no sway. No noise. We can go 80 mph on the freeway. We go off-highway a lot. My wife noticed the lack of paint where the bars rub, but that is the way that the friction joint was designed to work. The only weird thing for me was using our trailer’s electric tongue jack to lift the front of the trailer and rear of the truck at the same time to install the bars. I wasn’t sure the jack was designed to do that, but it seems to work just fine.

Did not know anything about hitches before purchasing this. Found out I had to get a receiver with a greater drop. Did not like that I couldn't trade the receiver in to get the one I needed. had to purchase another one.
It works well though

I purchased Model 92-00-0600. My tow vehicle is a 2016 F150 with the eco-boost 2.7l engine. My trailer is an R-pod 195. Loaded weight of truck and trailer on the scales is 10,400 lbs. Tongue weight is 540 lbs. The wait for arrival of the Fastway e2 was frustrating in that I had a trip planned. etrailer shipped quickly but the shipment never made it to my door. For some reason, the product was shipped back to etrailer when it was only 50 miles from my home. I talked to my UPS driver, and he suspects that the original box suffered a major failure. I believe that after reading some of the posts stating that the shipping box was totally inadequate for a product weighing in at nearly 100 lbs. Finally, after about a week, the 2nd shipment arrived. It was double boxed and "bear proof". I think etrailer finally got the idea to pack these things for rough handling. I watched the videos several times (definitely watch the videos because they take the mystery out). With my measurements in hand, I went to work installing the hitch. My biggest problem was not having a flat driveway or large garage, so I found a nice, paved, flat, and level parking lot for my work. Installation went very smoothly, and I was able to get within 0.1 inch of my "line A" measurements. Actually, my front wheel well measurement was 0.1 inch low (meaning over-adjustment). I took the truck/camper rig on a long test drive in the wind with 35mph gusts. The hitch made a world of difference in driving. My truck and trailer are level and I think the ride has improved. I am pleased and satisfied with what I have. You do need a good torque wrench for installation. My local wheel alignment shop tightened down the trailer ball nut to the hitch head (guessing at something close to XXXft lbs.). Torgue (XXX ft-lbs.) on the two 3/4-10x5" bolts was an estimated. I first tightened them to 160 ft-lbs. (max on my torque wrench) and then used a 2-foot breaker bar to get them as tight as I could.

This hitch came in exactly as described. Quinn Was a great help not only on this order but my previous order on a trailer brake system. Quinn is very knowledgeable on all the things I needed. He was a big help because some of these things were new to me. I've gotten great service every time I ordered things. Thanks Quinn!

I’ve been using the Fastway e2 for a year, now, and have found it to be reliable and super easy to use. The setup is logical and ongoing use involves just a few steps and I’m on the road with travel trailer in tow. I would highly recommend this particular distribution and sway control system.
by: J. Cassidy01/14/2021
Easy to install and use. I'm new to trailering, so I don't have much to compare this to, however the trailer doesn't sway, tows straight, and the weight distribution made ALL the difference in my towing capabilities and confidence. (2000 modified Toyota Tundra V8 with 2018 Jayco Jay Feather X213).

Product information on website was useful for selection. Product delivery was good and ontime. Hitch was easy to install and adjust and helps keep my trailer from swaying.

Installed your Fastway e2 600 lb trunnion hitch for 18 ft travel trailer. Pulling it with 2015 Tacoma V6. Works great! Got the setup right on first try. Instructions were very good. Happy with the product and with etrailer.
by: Andy Jones06/22/2016
The hitch was relatively easy to install once the ball got rolling, about 2 hours or so. Makes towing a breeze! Increased my connection clearance by 3"! Best part was the customer service provided by etrailer. Blew me away with attentive service due to a supply issue and was resolved with ease! I'd recommend this product to any towing person and that they purchase through etrailer.

Worked great. As seen in many of the reviews, the packaging was destroyed, but the hitch had no damage and went on east.

Still working great. It was a bit tedious to do the original setup, but towing it behind my Honda Ridgeline is a breeze!
by: BudS06/19/2018
Very nicely made. Haven't towed with it yet- bought it to replace a regular WD hitch.
Had an external friction sway control on my old hitch but didn't want to drill holes in my new trailer's aluminum tongue.
Hopefully the built in sway control will work out, I like having no external parts.

Havent used it yet this year but I look forward to future towing with the hitch.
by: David G03/18/2020
The Fastway hitch has performed better than expected. We have the hitch installed on a Honda Ridgeline pickup and we tow a 19' Forest River Geo Pro. Right away the control and handling of the truck improved and we also noticed an increase in gas mileage. My wife is very confident while towing, even on two lane roads and 18 wheelers passing going in the opposite direction. I noticed while driving in hilly terrain the camper tracks well and does not seem to push the truck on a down hill stretch. On the interstate there is much less sideways push when a large truck passes us.
by: Richard 12/04/2021
This thing is AWESOME! I use it on my 2012 Nissan Xterra 4WD while pulling my 4,000 lb travel trailer. I like to Boondock, so this thing has been over some serious terrain! Buy it, but experiment with how you set it up. Measure the heights of the bottom of your hitch, the top of your rear wheel well, and the top of your front wheel well until you get it where you want it. The third time was the charm for me!
by: Edward Falk06/06/2018
It works. We put a small trailer (Starcraft AR15) on a 2010 Tacoma. The top of the suspension system must be soft for an easy on-road ride, so the trailer really lowered the back of the truck and it swayed over bumps. The hitch is a little large for what we’re doing but the truck is level and the sway is gone. So, it works great.
by: Michael09/25/2018
Great product! Have used for 1 year now and pulled my small camper across the country. My camper is a single axle and I've always been concerned about cross winds and even blow outs causing me to loose control, but this unit controls the sway so well. Highly recommend!
by: S.L.03/21/2018
Used for a 15k cross-country trip towing a Winnebago 2106FBS. On road, it is a great help; it is imperative to pay attention to height and angle of hitch. If it is consistently difficult to leverage the friction bars, the installation must be tuned. Keep wrenches nearby for adjustments and tightening. Currently buying a new trailer and Fastway....

Received a damaged box that was taped up. Thought that this was how etrailer sent this item to me. When I opened the box I found out that several pieces were missing from the box. I contacted etrailer and explained what happened. Carol from etrailer quickly responded to what occurred. Rather than just sending me the missing parts she arranged for me to receive a new package. She also contact UPS to have them pickup the damaged order. In a few days I received notification that my replacement order was being shipped. Within a few days it arrived packaged in an additional box and intact. Thank you to Carol and etrailer!!
by: Dan03/05/2018
It is a well built very solid piece of equipment. Seems to do the job. Second day I towed it, I had a 15-20 cross wind and it was pretty stable. I could definitely feel the trailer behind me but I imagine it would have been very bad without sway control. I am pulling a 3000 lb travel trailer with a Toyota Highlander so it is important to have the anti-sway. The tow vehicle stays level with the weight distribution system in place. I had someone install it for me so I can't comment on the installation process. It does make some creaking noises when turning but I expect that is typical of all hitches with sway control. The shipping box was pretty beat up on arrival but nothing was broken. The only thing missing was the installation manual but that was available on the etrailer website.
by: David09/04/2018
I bought this product to pull our 20' Winnebago Micro Minnie with our Honda Pilot. It works great and we have never had a bit of sway with it. I especially like the fact that I can back the trailer without removing the anti-sway control which would be a big headache in most situations.
