I have the e2 hitch and have hitched and unhitched a over 20 times so far. I’ve never had to use the Snap-up lever. I think if you did need to use the lever that the truck and/or trailer would have to be on some very uneven ground and, if that is the case, you shouldn’t be unhitching the trailer in the first place. I’ll also add that it would have been good for the video to state that before you begin unhitching the wheel chocks need to be in place.
I had this system installed by a dealer but when I arrived home and started unhitching, I just could not remove the spring bar on one of the sides. I had a large wood block under the tongue jack and I literally used the whole jack length and had both my vehicle and the trailer lifted at something like a 25 degree angle to the ground, and yet there was still tension on the bar. I ended up having to hammer the bar out of the L-bracket with a big hammer, and after I did that, the rear of my truck just slammed down hard to the ground. I am not sure what the dealer or I did wrong, maybe someone can help.
Oh no! I would contact our customer service team at info@fastwaytrailer.com or call them at 877-523-9103, and explain to them what's happening with your hitch! They should be able to help you figure out the issue!
34 seconds into the video " Raise Trailer jack" should be either "lower/extend trailer jack" or "raise trailer tongue" .. when the trailer jack is raised, the tongue usually goes down.
Bless you, bless you! I was shown how to do this once, months ago, but I needed to do it myself this morning and forgot how! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are welcome! Glad we could help.
Thank you for showing us the proper way because the dealer told me to make sure the label was down on the bar when hooking it up
Glad we could help!
Thank you that is what I needed, you all rock.

Thanks for your comments!
The safety L-pin should be put in the other way around so that any flying debris will not dislodge the safety pin.
