This Fastway Flash Strong 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.

3 stars only because of the powder coat they chose. It's already faded and there is rust coming off of it. Besides that I love the hitch. Super heavy duty. Its solid steel so it ain't light. Which is nice because it doesnt rattle around in your receiver. I've towed 15k on the 2 5/16" ball, no problem. Heaviest tow on the 2" ball was about 10k and no problem. I do wish they made a pintle hitch adapter for this hitch. I needed one so I built one out of 3/8" plate steelbut it would be nice of Fastway made one

I am attaching a rust prevention help article to help you rid the ball mount of rust. Fastway does not have a pintle option but I can recommend this BW one, item # BWTS10056

Still using the hitch. Works great. I didnt use any rust prevention but it hasnt rusted any more than normal. I love this hitch setup. Easy to use, a little on the heavy side but I like that. Stays on my truck 247

Heavy Duty and adjustable for various towing needs. Gives you a piece of mind when towing your trailer.
by: Vicente08/10/2020
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!
Comments
It’s a great product! I get asked a lot from co-workers where I bought it. I’d refer them to etrailer for all your towing needs and much more.
Vicente - 08/12/2021by: George05/17/2022
Arrived quickly. Product was packaged we'll and in good condition when it arrived. All pieces came as stated in ad. The ball mount fit perfectly.
Comments
After one year I have used this mount assembly many times. Its has performed flawlessly. I have removed and reinstalled it many times with no problems. The finish has held up very well.
George - 05/21/2023by: Jeremy08/10/2023
Heavy duty, well built, and fast shipping. Works exactly like it should.
by: Hector01/12/2021
Best 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.

This thing is heavy duty. I would highly recommend this hitch for any application.
by: John06/06/2019
Product 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.
Comments
If you want Fastway does offer FA86-00-4225 as a locking option. One of the locks is for locking the adjustable ball platform, and the other lock is to lock the shank in your receiver.
-- Rachael H - 06/08/2019by: Ed S.03/13/2020
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.
Comments
It’s great
Ed S - 03/14/2021by: Dennis08/27/2019
I 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)
by: William07/17/2019
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.
by: Michael 08/09/2023
Have not used it to date 8-9-23. very heavy and looks great
by: Tom12/09/2020
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

Great product, customer service was / is outstanding! I highly recommend etrailer
by: George S.08/22/2019
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.

A very good match for my Class V receiv er.

Rugged adjustable hitch fits the Ford 3/4 ton reciever perfectly. So far has fit my every need with a variety of trailers and tow behind power equipment. I highly recomend this hitch
by: Patrick05/17/2022
8” drop hitch was packed with an electrical component, no packing to save the electrical part from getting smashed in transit…..

Wow!!Quick shipping and great overall e xperience.
by: Roy04/09/2022
Received it just 2 days after ordering! Best tow capacity for the money and has both the balls I use constantly. No more extra hitches laying in the truck bed. I never liked the idea of using the sleeve adapter to accommodate a 2” receiver. I feel like I am making the most of the tow capacity on my 2500 Duramax now, and doing it safer! I can even flip the ball around and pin it with a single pin to make it a “tow and stow”.
by: Sharon01/24/2019
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

- Adjustable Ball Mount Solution for 2.5 inch Hitch that Has 20k CapacityWe have adjustable ball mounts for a 2-1/2 inch hitches that have the higher 20k capacity like the Fastway Flash Solid Steel HD part # FA49-00-5625 but B and W does not have a Tow and Stow with that high of a capacity. The Fastway is pretty similar as it has two hitch balls and can do a drop of up to 6 inches and is adjustable. However, the ball mount platform does not spin around to attach to the backside of the shank like the B and W but that's really only feature that you'd miss.
view full answer... - Flash Steel HD Adjustable Ball Mount Clearance For Rock Tamer Mud FlapsTo determine proper fitment of the Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA49-00-5625 on your vehicle you will need to measure your receiver to determine how much space that you have left on the receiver. The flash ball mount is 3" from the hitch pin center hole to the part of the hitch where the gusset is on drop. If the receiver tube on your vehicle extends more than 2" past the center of the hitch pin hole than you will not have enough space to mount your Rack Tamer mud flaps. I...

- Adjustable 2-1/2-Inch Class V Ball MountIf the top of your hitch ball is about an inch different in height than the top of your coupler this is actually okay. You are 100% correct that it is important to have your hitched trailer level, but starting out with the hitch ball very slightly higher or lower is not a concern. You do not see many fixed ball mounts with 1-inch or rise or drop for this reason. If you wish you can use an adjustable Class V 2-1/2-inch ball mount like # FA49-00-5625.

It does not stick out far enough to trigger said sensors so there will be no issues there. That said, whatever you attach to the hitch could but this would be on a case by case basis. I have attached a video for you on a model with backup sensors and there were no issues after install. If you don't already have a 2-1/2" ball mount for this hitch, I recommend...
view full answer... - How are Hitch Balls Secured to Mount on Flash Solid Steel Adjustable Ball MountI reached out to the manufacturer who said the hitch balls on the Flash Solid Steel Adjustable Ball Mounts are a solid piece that has a bolt running through it inside the mount. What this means is that there is zero chance of it coming apart while you are towing your trailer. Simply abide by the capacities of the hitch and it is extremely safe. There are a number of Flash Solid Steel Ball Mounts, each of which comes with a 2" and 2-51/6" hitch balls and the correct one for your needs will...

The only other option would be on the low side which is # FA49-00-5625. This has a 6" drop and 7" rise. If you stick with the Flash Solid Steel HD then you can use the # FA86-00-4225 for a locking hitch pin and adjustment pin. For an 8" rise/drop that fits a 2-1/2" receiver you could use the # FA42-00-2825. This has an aluminum shank with a capacity of 18,000 lbs for...

Of the three ball mounts you looked at, parts # MD206, # FA49-00-5625,and # FA42-00-2825 I like the Fastway # FA42-00-2825 because it has a slightly higher amount of travel in the rise and drop but more importantly is completely aluminum causing it to be lighter and resistant to corrosion. The # FA42-00-2825 fits a 2-1/2 inch receiver so if your truck has 2 inch then...

So in that regard they are essentially the same. They really are quite a bit alike in most ways. Same capacity at 20,000 lbs, both fit 2-1/2 inch hitches, both can do same amount of drop at 6 inches, both are highly reviewed by our customers, and both have very similar prices. I'd say the edge goes to the Curt though since it has two...

It's designed to be a replacement for the # 63071, but it will work with Reese or Pro Series weight distribution shanks like # RP54998 that have grooves cast into the shank's upright. If the shank you currently have does not have the grooves, unfortunately we don't have a ball platform that would work.

If you have the MultiPro tailgate I recommend using the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20066BMP as it will still allow you to use the functions of your tail gate with the hitch in the receiver. With the 2-5/16" ball it is rated for up to 14,500lbs and will be enough for towing your 13,000lb trailer. If...

Instead, you'll want to use a Rapid Hitch Adjustable Ball Mount like the # AM3405 with a combo ball for 1-7/8" and 2" couplers like the Greaseless Combo Ball # AM3436; the steel version combo ball without the greaseless caps is # AM3425. This will allow you the flexibility to tow a trailer with both a 1-7/8" and 2" coupler.
