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.

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: Michael05/14/2022
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
Comments
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

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.

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.

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…..

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have sent your information along to our customer service team and they will be reaching out.

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: 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.

Great ball mount for the price. Does not come with pin for securing to the hitch. Rounded edges keep your fragile legs from getting busted and bruised.
by: 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.

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 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.
by: 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.
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

Nice 20K hitch, and always fast shipping from etrailer.

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

Still amazing! Have thrown every type of weather at it here in Colorado and it is still holding strong!
Nathan Y - 05/06/2021by: 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
by: John 07/09/2021
Shopping 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

Own two of them and they work great for us. The 20k rating is great.
by: Kenneth 01/03/2020
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.
by: William 12/16/2019
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!
Comments
I have a PJ power tilt trailer and with this hitch I have hauled it loaded across town and across country with no issues. I still believe I made the best choice.
William - 12/17/2020by: LN08/23/2019
The product is well made but the finish is VERY poor quality ! it started rusting almost immediately from the paint on the body to the pins and including the ball, making adjusting the height at times difficult. . the hitch was purchased in the summer and I live in Idaho so no road salts or corrosives were an issue. The hitch does stay in the receiver all the time due to the amount of towing I do, and was completely repainted 6 months after purchase.
by: Brad 12/16/2019
Hitch was great, however the locking pin I purchased with it was CHEAP CHEAP....hitch got stolen in my driveway...meaning the thief did not have to expend much effort in getting the "locking" pin off....we or my 3 dogs would have heard the noise
by: David 08/01/2021
This is 'the bossman' of hitches. Built to last. EZ to operate. Perfect for towing a variety of trailers. It's 5 star.

- 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.

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...

view full answer... - Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-350It sounds like from your history on our site that you're looking for an adjustable ball mount for your 2017 Ford F-350. 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...
view full answer... - Is Trailer Ball Platform on Fastway FA49-00-5625 Sold SeparatelyIt sounds like you're looking for something like the Pro Series # PS63076. 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.
view full answer... - Adjustable Hitch with 1-7/8" and 2" Hitch BallsI have a solution for you, but the Fastway # FA49-00-5625 does not have a combo ball with 1-7/8" and 2" hitch balls available. 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.
