The FASTWAY FLASH™ Adjustable Ball Mount System
FASTWAY FLASH™ ball mounts replace traditional steel mounts with a cleaner, stronger, and more versatile system—combining lightweight aluminum construction, dual-ball capability, and purpose-built designs for different towing scenarios.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Why the FLASH family stands out: Across the family, Fastway builds around the same core ideas—quick height adjustment, dual 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls, and lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum construction that resists corrosion and stays easier to handle than bulky traditional mounts.
How to choose the right version:
- SIMPLE is the clean everyday answer when you want fast setup and minimal fuss.
- ADJUSTABLE style models help level different trailers without swapping mounts.
- SECURE adds Fastway’s built-in locking approach to protect both the receiver connection and the adjustable assembly.
- SCALE adds an integrated mechanical tongue-weight scale so you can check balance before towing.
Why proper setup matters: Correct ball height and correct tongue weight work together. A level trailer generally tows straighter, brakes more predictably, and places more consistent load on the tow vehicle. That is exactly why the SCALE models are so useful—they turn trailer balance into a visible setup step instead of a guess.
R&P Repair Insight
These are premium towing components, not throwaway hardware. They usually do not “fail all at once,” but they still deserve regular inspection—especially on trucks that tow often, sit outside, or move between multiple trailers.
- Inspect hitch balls: Watch for scoring, flat-spot wear, rust staining, or impact damage where the coupler rides.
- Inspect shank and pin holes: Repeated towing load can wear contact surfaces over time, especially if fitment is loose or the trailer is not level.
- Check moving interfaces: Height-adjustment hardware should stay clean, secure, and easy to operate—never forced.
- SECURE models: Keep lock cylinders clean and functional, and address sticky keys or neglected locking points before they become a real problem.
- SCALE models: Treat tongue-weight readings as setup guidance, not decoration. Repeated towing with poor balance can create avoidable sway, steering, and braking issues.
Best practice: If a ball mount shows impact damage, severe corrosion, distorted hardware, sloppy adjustment fit, or questionable locking function, it is time to stop treating it like a cosmetic issue and inspect it as a safety item.
