The Fastway Flash Series HD ball mount is strong, durable, and easy on the eyes, making it the best of both worlds. It's solid, aircraft-grade aluminum construction is durable, rust resistant, and sturdy enough to last for years to come. With a polished mirror 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 pin so that you are able to slide the ball platform up or down along the shank to the desired position. Re-insert the pin once you have found the correct height and replace the clip.
Switching the hitch ball is just as easy. Simply remove the pin 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 pin.

Love my new hitch and the adjustability. Much lighter than my previous hitch
by: Tim 12/09/2022
The product is one of the best made items I’ve seen in a very long time. Etrailer was very responsive with the order and I received the product very quickly.

The hitch has been awesome! I pull a heavy construction trailer, 4 place snowmobile trailer and a boat. It’s very easy to adjust the height for the different tasks. Extremely well made, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.
by: Stefan P06/19/2017
Really sturdy, however it is extremely (not made of lightweight materials) heavy and a chore to mount. Also, the lock broke and it is in the locked position so I can't use it. I have to figure out how to take it apart. Better of spending the extra cash and getting a Thule.

This is a great addition to my 3500HD Duramax...quality construction and looks good. Lots of compliments...especially like that it fits directly into receiver with out adapter..
by: Julie04/17/2020
Great hitch, perfect for my motorcycle trailer and toy hauler. And it looks amazing on my F350! My next purchase from etrailer.com will be a 5th wheel hitch, great pricing and fast shipping. You guys rock!
by: Tim H.04/05/2017
Just purchased a Fastway FLASH E-series HD adjustable ball mount for my new '17 F250 Superduty. The mount looks great out of the box and fantastic on the truck. Will be towing a triple axle trailer with 30' center console soon as well as a utility trailer off and on. Nice to have one set-up that's able to tow two different loads. The polished finish is very nice and the matching lock set looks very secure. Amazingly fast shipping from etrailer.com too. Even curious George likes it.
by: Glen07/02/2018
This is a well built 2 1/2" adjustable ball mount that provides you with 6" of rise or drop to keep your trailer level. Currently use this on my F250 super duty to haul my MX5200 Kubota tractor with a bucket, and bush hog (~9K).
by: Saul 04/16/2024
Great product. Fast shipping. Good price. Thanks
by: Steve05/08/2017
This is a quality piece, very heavy for aluminum but it needs to be. It looks awesome on the truck and the reversing of the balls to the back side is genius. Plan to get one for my son for his birthday.

Pros)
Shipped Quickly Well Packaged
This hitch is very well made with smooth edges yet thick and beefy !!
Nice Purchase Nice Hitch Easy Assembly Fits Perfect
Cons)
It’s so brilliantly polished ?? that it makes the truck look filthy.
by: David06/10/2018
Looks great in backup camera
More towing than I need. 18k
I think nicer than neighbors across street
Had to buy pin to hook it on. $3.49
Thank you for prompt delivery
by: Jason M.04/07/2017
The hitch looks amazing and is very well built! The guys & gals at etrailer are extremely helpful & knowledgeable! I would highly recommend getting all your towing needs from them!
by: Frank C. 10/01/2018
Very pleased with this adjustable ball mount and It arrived promptly. At first I thought the polished finish would be too flashy, but it really compliments my truck nicely.
by: David 06/30/2023
Best looking and strongest ball hitch out there. Well worth the money
by: Don 06/29/2023
Product looks great just wondering if a one and seven eights inch ball can be added if the 2 inch ball is removed
by: David 11/28/2023
Works great!
by: Christopher07/25/2018
I just received my hitch from etrailer.com. The material and overall look of the hitch is excellent. Although a little pricey I like the height adjustment and the different size hitch balls. I pull different size and type trailers and I like the ease of adjustments. I tried a different type adjustable hitch in the past it was big and bulky very noisy and heavy. This one stores easy in my double cab Silverado and is not excessively heavy. The shipping was fast from etrailer and the ease of finding what you want on the website was great.

I am still very satisfied with the hitch I bought from etrailer.com. I use it and adjust the heights a lot. I would recommend this hitch to anyone wanting one. The etrailer website is easy to navigate and shipping was fast. Like the fact I dont need an adapter for the 2.5 hitch.
by: Steven07/21/2018
I do a lot of towing and this setup does everything I need with no worries.well worth the investment

Great service if you need to call in, fast shipping and excellent communication with Peyton H. Thanks for the awesome experience and the great product!!!
by: Blain12/03/2019
As a past B&W user, I was looking for a hitch that had a rating of over 15k lbs., but wasn't over engineered and looked like a steel anvil hanging off my truck. There's a lot of nice looking products out there, but none that are stout enough for what I needed. This was the answer. It's a great looking hitch that's simply designed and with a 18k lb rating, was plenty to pull what we needed.
I would recommend this hitch to anyone needing a strong hitch without sacrificing looks.

Perfect. Easy to use, handles what I need and I would buy it again.
by: Coy L.08/05/2017
So far so good. Fits the 2 1/2" receiver snugly and adjusts easily. Installed it on a 1 ton work truck that hauls single axle trailers up to 16k trailer. No longer need to keep two different balls in the truck.

GREAT
by: Sean M.04/13/2019
Couldn't be happier with this hitch ! With its ease of adjustable height and 2 different ball sizes it covers every different trailer application I have. No more trading out hitches depending on if I'm pulling my utility trailer or my bigger snowmobile trailer.
What a time saver for me !
by: David07/20/2019
Very happy with the function of this product. I can tow my camper, boat, and utility trailer with one hitch.
The reason for the low rating is the appearance. It starts out nice looking but quickly developed black gouge like marks. I sent it back to Fastway once and they sent a replacement. Although I was very impressed with the high level of service I experienced the same problem with the replacement.
by: Matt09/28/2021
Oh my god what a hitch! looks awesome and will be great to use all the adjustments.
Excellent build quality,

Everything worked great. Now my company has the ability to haul this equipment with multiple vehicles. Thank you etrailer for the good information and competitive pricing.

For a very similar ball mount to the Fastway Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA42-00-2600 you referenced that will work with your 2-1/2 inch receiver, I recommend the Flash E Series HD Adjustable Ball Mount # FA42-00-2625. This is an excellent ball mount that will provide you with a drop or rise of up to 6 inches, along with two chrome plated hitch balls. It features a towing weight capacity of 12,000 pounds when using the 2 inch ball and 18,000...
view full answer... - Heavy Duty Tow Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Ford F-350Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15810 which is a fit for your 2008 Ford F-350 will allow you to tow your 2000 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite 30SKS without the use of a weight distribution system assuming the figures you provided on the trailer are correct. This hitch has a 20,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW) and 2,700 lb tongue weight (TW) rating with a 2-1/2" receiver tube opening. According to the instructions for this hitch, the professional installation time is 30 minutes...
view full answer... - Can I Pull A Travel Trailer With The Roadmaster High Low Adapter RM-058-4?The Roadmaster High Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2-1/2" Hitches # RM-058-4 is only made for flat towing because flat towing does not put much stress or tongue weight on the hitch. Whereas with trailer towing, there is always some stress and tongue weight put on the hitch and adapter. While they may work, as you have seen people do this, I still do not recommend using it in that manner. Instead, I would just use a drop hitch to accomplish this. Since your vehicle has a 2-1/2" receiver opening,...
view full answer... - Sway Control Recommendation for Ford Truck that Can be Upgraded to Weight DistributionWeight distribution wouldn't hurt even though your truck definitely has more than enough capacity for the trailer you are towing. I would try friction sway control first since that's what you are leaning towards like part # 83660 and then if that doesn't give you the towing experience you want you could always upgrade from there to a weight distribution system. The Reese weight distribution system part # RP67509 is a great choice too that the # 83660 can easily integrate into as it has...
view full answer... - Ball Mount to Fit a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver with 6 Inches of DropWe have a couple ball mounts that are going to be very close to what you're looking for. The Curt Ball Mount # 45291 is a fixed ball mount that has 7-3/4 inches of drop and 10-1/2 inches from the pin hole to the center of the ball hole. It also has a maximum tongue weight of 1,200 pounds. However, it is steel and not aluminum. You also need a hitch ball # C40030. Another option is the Fastway Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA42-00-2625 that's rated up to 1,800 pounds tongue...
view full answer... - Will Weight Distribution Be Needed on a 2017 Ford F-250 Super DutyWith the trailer weight that you provided, I recommend using a weight distribution system with sway control on your towing setup. Any time the trailer weighs more than half of the weight of the two vehicle we recommend using a weight distribution system. Even using a hitch with a 2-1/2 receiver opening will not negate the use of weight distribution with a trailer weighing as much as yours. I have attached a FAQ article on weight distribution that will have more information on when weight...

Or we have the part # FA42-00-2625 from Fastway that fits your hitch size without the need for an adapter.

The Fastway Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set for Flash E Series Ball Mounts, # FA86-00-3660, is a fit for this hitch and its compatible 2 inch receiver opening measured inside to inside. I'm guessing that you measured the receiver from outside vs. the inside opening and this...
view full answer... - Weight Capacity of Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount FA42-00-2625I am not sure which Andersen hitch you have, but the Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA42-00-2625 you referenced is made for 2-1/2 inch hitches which allows the shank and rest of the ball mount to be larger and therefore stronger. You should note that this only has an 18k capacity when you use the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball and if you use the 2 inch ball you are reduced to 12,000 lbs.
view full answer... - How to Choose Adjustable Ball Mount for Chevy Silverado & 2-1/2 HitchWhen determining the rise or drop needed for a ball mount, there are two measurements you will want to take. Starting with your 2017 Chevy Silverado, you will want to take a measurement from the ground to the top of the trailer hitch receiver when the truck is on level ground. Then on your trailer, you will measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the hitch height on your truck is higher, you will need a ball mount with a rise, if the coupler measurement is higher, you...
view full answer... - Which Fastway Ball Mount For 14,000 lb TrailerFor a 14,000 lb trailer, you'll need a Fastway ball mount for a 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver, as the highest capacity of their ball mounts for a 2 inch receiver is 10,000 lbs. So if you have a 2-1/2 inch receiver, you can use any of the following, depending on the rise or drop you need: - 6" Rise/Drop: Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA42-00-2625 - 8" Rise/Drop: Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA42-00-2825 - 10" Rise/Drop: Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount...

For this, I recommend using the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp part # 325-GH-063 between the receiver tube and sleeve and the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp part # GY88XR between the sleeve and ball mount. This device would apply pressure is all directions and you don't have to worry about heavy duty towing capability. That said, there is really no...
view full answer... - Available Ball Mount Adapters for Friction-Style Sway Control DevicesWe do offer many fixed and adjustable 2-1/2-inch ball mounts, shown on the linked page, including items like Fastway adjustable model # FA42-00-2625. Although we do offer friction sway control adapters # RP26005 for 1-1/4-inch Class II hitches and # RP26003 for 2-inch Class III hitches, there is no comparable part for 2-1/2-inch shanks. This is mainly because the effectiveness of basic friction sway units like # 83660 is limited to lighter trailers than those typically towed with a 2-1/2-inch...
view full answer... - Availability of Replacement Hitch Balls for Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball MountFor the Fastway HD Series Ball Mount part # FA42-00-2625 that you referenced we have the replacement balls like part # DTBM28. This is the most commonly replaced item, but in general replacement parts aren't needed much for this ball mount.
view full answer... - Replacing Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount Shank That Was Stolen I am sorry to hear about your truck being stolen! I reached out to my contact at Fastway and the shank for the Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 6" Drop, 6" Rise - 18K # FA42-00-2625 is not available separately, so you will need to purchase the entire ball mount to replace your stolen shank. I included a video of the # FA42-00-2625 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Adjustable 20,000 lb Ball Mount Option with Silver Colored Hitch BallI have a possible solution for you, but Curt does not offer a silver two ball attachment for the Curt Adjustable Ball Mount # C45902. One possible solution for you is the Fastway E Series HD Adjustable 18K Ball Mount # FA42-00-2625. A nice feature about the Fastway ball mount is the corrosion resistant aluminum construction. This will be good if you are in a cold climate with salt on the roads. A hitch lock is also available for this ball mount, # FA86-00-3685. If you don't need both...
view full answer... - Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount with Stainless Steel Balls and a 2-1/2 Inch HitchThere aren't any stainless steel balls for Fastway ball mount # FA42-00-2625 but we do have # DTALBM6625-2S. It comes with stainless steel 2" and 2-5/16" balls. I have included a link to a video review of this ball mount for you.
view full answer... - Availability of Class V Adjustable Ball Mount with 1-7/8 inch Hitch BallBest option we have for that is the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS20049B as it has all three popular hitch ball sizes (1-7/8 inch, 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch), plus it fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch as well. It is also adjustable as well. I attached a review video for more info as well.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity of Fastway Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # FA86-00-3685The Fastway Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # FA86-00-3685 referenced in your question does not have a specific towing weight capacity. These will be used to secure the ball mount shank into the hitch receiver and the ball mount platform to the ball mount on the Flash E Series Ball Mounts like # FA42-00-2625. You will simply follow the weight capacity of the ball mount or whichever component in your towing system has the lowest rating.

One example is CE Smith Ball Mount Storage Bag - Nylon - Black Item # CE27481. It would be a tight fit though and the ball mount would have to be disassembled. The bag is 15" long x 6" tall x 4" wide.

Other options are available but they would be like the Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2-1/2 inch Hitch, Item # FA42-00-2625. If you wanted a hitch lock then you would need something like Item # FA86-00-3685. I have attached links to our available inventory and to a video for you to check out.

When installed on the shank, the shank will ensure the screw can't back out too far for function.
