Self-contained locking pins in this lightweight hitch deter theft and eliminate rattle. Go from a 6" drop to a 7" rise to swap between trailers. Tow up to 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball and up to 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball.

Note: Allen wrench tightens when in drop position only.
This Fastway Silent adjustable ball mount provides solid, rattle-free towing performance. A stainless steel pin, operated by the included hex tool, extends out from the shank and tightens the ball mount in your receiver.
To further eliminate any movement, a bolt in the side of the ball platform tightens the connection between the platform and the adjustment shank. As a result, you'll enjoy a quiet, rattle-free towing experience.
The ball platform is connected to the adjustment shank by the hex bolt located in the front of the platform. To change the ball height, simply loosen both the bolt in the front and the bolt in the side of the platform with the included tool. This will release the ball platform and allow you to slide it up and down. Or, you can slide the platform off and reverse it to change the ball size.

Self-contained locking pins in this lightweight hitch deter theft and eliminate rattle. Go from a 6" drop to a 7" rise to swap between trailers. Tow up to 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball and up to 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball.Less than half the weight of similar steel products and just as strong. The anti-rattle feature is awesome, works great. The optional locking pin needed a 1/16" rubber washer to keep it from rattling. Overal VERY pleased! Highly recommended!
First of all, it’s beautiful; fit and finish is as it should be for the price. No rust stainless hitch ball ends are great. I use this on a Chevy Silverado 1500 with the max tow package pulling a 24’ 5800 lb. boat on an aluminum trailer. It pretty much is one position so I can’t say how quick and easy it is to routinely change from one ball size to the other or hitch height, but I can tell you that it all works flawlessly. The only downside is that it’s heavy so storing it in a foldaway tool box in my truck bed is fine but it’s a load. In use it never rattles or shakes and it’s because of the clamping lock. But that can only be used in dropped position, which is how I use it. If you need a great multi ball unit that looks and works really well, this one is for you.
excellent product lightweight compared to steel, made from one piece no welds, and polished easy to maintain, great instructions to adjust for towing.
The materials and machining are very nice, making it beautiful and precise. I like the craftmenship and detailed notches on the vertical bar. Already use both 2 and 2-5/16 balls so it was easy to chose this item for my needs. The only thing that I would change is having access to individual and separate ball installation to that the upsidedown ball doesn't scrape the ground if you choose to run it at the lowest setting.

A year later and I have used the hitch occasionally. One thing to improve is to let the vertical bar adjust up and down so it doesn’t hit low spots when hauling a heavy load and using the ball at its lower point. Some times I have scraped the pavement because the vertical bar is not adjustable. I’ve seen other brands that do adjust so I’m contemplating selling this tow setup. Thx
Out of the box showed the quality of work to be incredible. Once I installed the hitch I was disappointed to see that the installed anti-rattle device does not make 100% contact (more like 50%) in the receiver as intended with the locking pin installed. No matter how much the locking screw was tightened any weight or jolt on the hitch would cause it to rattle. The vehicle this was installed on was a 2011 Tundra CrewMax 4x4.
I understand this is a universal hitch for many vehicles but it appears the locking pin hole could be moved forward approx. 1/2 to 3/4" to correct this problem.
If you are buying this product due to it's corrosion resistance it has my vote, but if the installed anti-rattle pin feature is critical look for a different brand on 2011 Tundra's.
Great quality ball mount that is of exceptional quality, and I would recommend to any potential buyer.
I need several inches of adjustability for two trailers. This can handle the 5" rise needed for my kayak trailer and the level tongue of my 20 foot sailboat trailer. The security and anti rattle features are a great design.
The polished aluminum mount and stainless hitch balls look like an appearance accessory.

This hitch works really well after a year. I still need the adjust ability and the fit and finish are like new.
Maybe it's just on my truck but the anti-rattle piece just barely goes inside the receiver tube so it's basically useless. Other than that it's a nice piece and have used it to tow some heavy loads. One more thing I'm not too excited about is that the second ball always hangs down and is sometimes very low with no way to remove it when towing a heavy trailer.
Solid product
Robust and well made. Shame that the locking tongue only works in the lower position. I would have thought it possible to design a locking wedge to work in the upper position as well. Fortunately the very top setting in the lower works for my F-250/Airstream combo.
I tow boats, mostly antique and classic wood boats, but just plain lots of boats. My Ram diesel stands tall. Every trailer stands differently. Finally I have a ball mount that is adjustable so virtually every trailer I hook onto rolls flat. Adjusting up and down is trivially easy.
The tensioning mechanism is bullet proof. Itowed a 7,000 pound boat and trailer back from western Kentucky and up 83 through PA. The ball mount stayed where I put it and did not loosen up one iota.
And the solid two receiver tensioner is to die for. For the first time I can listen to my music instead of a "sympnony" of rattles as the ball mount bounces in the receiver each time the smallest bump in the road is encountered.
Finally, it is way cool looking. Never before have I had people stop, walk over and say, "Whoa! I've never seen a hitch as cool as that one."
This thing is amazing. Adjustability is perfect. Has held up well to very heavy loads. No trailer rattle. Happy to have purchased a lifetime worthy hitch. 10/10 would recommend!
Hitch was really loose, has lots of slip in the receiver. Pretty disappointed in it.

I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with this ball mount. This ball mount has a stainless-steel pin operated by a hex tool that tightens the ball mount in your receiver in the position. I will attach a video guide on how to use it. For further anti-rattle protection, you can use a U-bolt device like item # RM-061.

This is my second one I've ordered from eTrailer (10"drop & this 6"). Absolutely great product! This time around, I went with stainless steel balls... They should look beret, longer. Only reason for a second is because of a new truck. The old truck had a 9" lift and 37" tires.
Product quality is excellent. It is very convenient allowing me the versatility of five or six receivers in one. Provides me with all of my towing needs.
Thank you
Product looks great. The built-in anti rattle device on mine appears to work good. I am happy with the ball hitch and the way Etrailer handle my sale and quick delivery.

This product doesn’t show any wear after a year. I’ve used it to pull boats and trailers up to 10,000#. There is no rattling from the hitch now. I would highly recommend it.
Ashley provided me with great customer service and took care of my order promptly and professionally. I’m very happy with my purchase which arrived ahead of schedule.

After a year I don’t find that I need to take advantage of the adjustability as I did when I first bought it. The anti-rattle device still works great and barring a good size scar from someone backing into it at some point the one time I left it place during the week it still looks great and works great. I pulled out tools from my storage bin so while it’s still heavy keeping it in the bin is no longer a problem.
