Fastway Flash 42-00-2625 E Series HD Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount with 6 Inch Drop, 2.5 Inch Shank, and Chrome Plated Balls

PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT WANTING A HITCH THAT WOULD LAST, BE DURABLE, AND BE EASY TO USE. THIS HITCH IS THE FARTHEST THING FROM DURABLE. AFTER 4 MONTHS OR LESS OF USE OF TOWING OCCASIONALLY THE FINISH IS NOT JUST SCRATCHED LIKE I WOULD EXPECT, IT IS PHYSICALLY SCORED. THERE ARE PLACES ON THE HITCH I CONSIDER NOT SAFE. COMPANY IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. BUY ELSEWHERE. I POSTED THIS ON THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA AND THEY DO NOT SEEM TO CARE EITHER.

After researching a bunch of hitches, this one was a standout due to its high weight ratings, 18,000 lbs on the 2.516 ball, and 10,000 I believe on the 2” ball. The weights are stamped right into the trailer balls. Many other hitches I looked at including the high end ones were only 14,500 and 7500-8000 for the 2 inch ball. This thing is a bit flashy for my taste, but it matches my chrome bumper on my new Silverado 2500HD really well, regardless. It feels well made, and is really solid without weighing 40 lbs like some other Steel hitches. There is some slop in the mount, but it’s not as bad as some reviews say online or on Amazon, it’s actually acceptable in my opinion. If I could of found a WS or B&W with ratings this high I would’ve bought them. Weigh Safe makes a steel powder coated hitch with I believe a 20,000 lb rating, but it’s heavy, and its $300 without a lock for the pin at the hitch. Also, I’ve read a lot of reviews that say the scale on the weigh safe tends to fail, and in some reviews, quickly. I believe the WS are good quality hitches, and Made in USA, but I didn’t want risk $300 or more if the scale was going to fail. This Fastway also has “made in USA” in it, and appears to be of high quality construction

I love this hitch! It's not only heavy duty but it also looks spectacular. My F250 sits very high and thus I needed a hitch with more drop. This one fit the ticket but the picture is deceiving because you cannot fit just any locking pin in the ball mount. After ordering way too many other "extra long" pins, the Fastway 2.5" Flash E-series HD Dual Lock Pack 86-00-3685 with 2 Keys is the only pin I found that was long enough to fit and lock the adjustable ball.

Definitely awesome looking. Glad I bought the Fastway 2.5" Flash E-series HD Dual Lock Pack to go with the hitch. Suggest you do the same. The hitch is a little loose in my factory chevy installed hitch, I had to had some shim to keep it from flopping up and down when hauling a empty small trailer that had no tongue weight. I haven't used it yet on my large trailer but looking foward to it. Glad I bought it so far.

Excellent quality and looks beautiful on the back of the truck. The recommended lock set is the Fastway 86-00-3660 Dual Pin Lock Set 3518. One fits fine, the other keyed appears to be about 1/4" short and does not engage the lock? What is the recommended lock pin or am I doing something wrong? A rated 5 star but need to get a lock for the adjustable hitch attachment. Help!

Ordered this for my husband. He has a 3500 Sierra with 37” inch tires & 8” lift, so he needed a drop hitch. It looks awesome. He loves the adjustability and that it is rated for 1800 lbs. We have a toy hauler that is 10-11,000 lbs loaded (max capacity 13,200 lbs). We also bought the locking pins which he recommends! Very happy with this purchase.

Man... What I great looking ball mount! The quality, finish, and of course strength are superb! I couldn't be happier. The price was right, free shipping, and everything came complete and ready to go. I have two trailers requiring different drops, so this kills to birds with one shank. I also purchased the Fastway lock kit specifically for this ball mount, one key opens both locks.

I bought this hitch because of the othere reviews and because it is made in the usa. When i ooened the box I saw why it was less expensive than all the others... it was only polished on the front... it looks like they attempeted to polish one side of it,but stopped halfway. So it feels like quality, but the finish isnt there. Just giving others a heads up.

Product is as advertised. Well made!
