Make Towing Faster, Easier, and Safer With the e2® Hitch

Category News

Get on the road faster and easier with yourFastway® e2® hitch. The e2 hitch provides you with both sway control and weight distribution without the hassle of connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting chains or add-ons.

It is common for people to think sway control and weight distribution are the same thing, but they are not. As an e2 hitch owner you get both in one hitch through the hitch’s rigid brackets. These brackets combat sway and keep your truck and trailer level.

Why do I need weight distribution?

When you couple your trailer to your tow vehicle, the added weight causes your tow vehicle to “teeter-totter” over the rear axle. The front of the tow vehicle raises, and the rear sinks. Hazards associated with driving a trailer without weight distribution include loss of steering control, braking difficulties, and hitch dragging.

What does weight distribution in the e2 hitch do?

The weight distribution provided by the e2 hitch distributes some of the weight to the front axles of the tow vehicle. Distributing this weight does several things. It gives you a better ride and driving visibility, it improves steering ability, it allows you to brake better, and it reduces driving fatigue allowing the driver to be more focused. Proper weight distribution helps you from exceeding tow ratings, which increases the longevity of the tow vehicle.

Why do I need sway control?

Trailer sway can be caused by a variety of reasons while you’re making your trip. It can be caused by high winds, improper loading, or while passing big rigs. Not only can sway be caused by different variables, but your trailer has different ways it can sway. This is where the e2 hitch’s rigid brackets come in and give you continuous sway control, so you can enjoy your drive.
