Fastway10K RB NO SHANK ® e2™ 2-point sway control™ hitch

Well designed, well made WD hitch. Virtually eliminates yawing due to the built in sway control, as well as pitching (porpoising). I have driven in 70-80 KM crosswinds with no deviation from a straight line with my tow vehicle.The setup is really quite simple. Have the ball torqued correctly by a garage if you don't have the tools and you are off to the races. I'm not saying everyone should do their own setup - but a few simple concepts should allow many to accomplish this. Sadly there are many videos on YouTube that illustrate how not to do it correctly and it is quite obvious on the roadways.

Most importantly I was very happy with the function of this hitch. The added 100 lbs on your tow vehicle is worth it. Prior to it's install the trailer had some sway and after every hump in the road my F-150 would pitch up and down in the front end. After install the pitching was virtually eliminated and sway was non existent. Now, the install did have a couple of issues. Just so you know as other reviewers have indicated a 2 5/16" ball with a 1 1/4" shank requires 450 ft lbs of torque. That is a lot of torque and you will find it difficult to find a place with the torque wrench of that capacity. When I did find a shop a shallow 3/4 drive 1 7/8" socket won't fit on the ball nut because the hitch head don't have the clearance to fit the socket on. I was able to go to the 1" shank vs the 1 1/4 " ball shank because my trailer is under 5000lbs and you can get the socket on the smaller ball nut to torque it within the confines of the hitch head. If you watch the Fastway video for the hitch install tutorial it is pointed out they have a special socket you can purchase to torque the 1 1/4' shank ball on the hitch head. If you are a Gorilla groncher and tight is enough you won't have any problem with any of the above. The second issue is the minimum number of spacers you can actually use? The written instructions indicate minimum 5 spacers and max. of 9. Again the Fastway video tutorial clearly shows the trainer selecting 4 spacers to start with as with his experience that works best for lighter trailers/set ups. I used the video for my install reference and mine set up very nicely. So here is the goods. You will need at least a 250 ft lb torque wrench to finish the hitch install (other than the torque of the ball nut) or be the Gorilla groncher. If your trailer is under 5000 lbs buy a 1" shank ball and no special socket is required to torque the smaller ball nut on the hitch head (the shank reducing bushing comes with the hitch). If you need the 1 1/4" shank ball because of your trailer in excess of 5000 lbs buy the modified socket with the hitch from Fastway from the get go. Or .... be the Gorilla and tight is enough and the complete hitch install will be quite quick. FYI - Fastway E2 hitch is Engineered in the USA . Manufactured in China to meet Progress Mfg. Inc.'s quality standards.

This weight distribution system is terrific. I have towed my trailer only 6 times with this system but it makes a huge and noticeable difference. It took me a few hours and a lot of trial and error to configure it just right but the time was worth it. My trailer and vehicle ride nice and level with very little unexpected sway. If you're handy, save a lot of money and buy this and set it up yourself instead of from a dealer where it will cost double.

Originally the angle set bolt was missing however it was speedily sent to me. With it the hitch is fantastic.

The hitch with the integrated sway control improved the handling of my 28ft. Camper trailer. I pull it with a 2000 Dodge Ram 2500. Price was good too!
