Video Transcript for In-Depth Review of the B and W Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2-1/2" Hitch Receivers

Hello, neighbors and friends. I'm Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at this B&W anti-rattle clamp for your 2 1/2 inch hitch receivers. Now folks, an anti-rattle device is gonna keep your hitch mount accessory from making all those rattle noises. It's also gonna deter any kind of sway and slop inside that hitch receiver. It works great with ball mounts, tow bars, and even hitch mount accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers.

It is a super fast and easy installation. Comes with four parts here plus the included wrench. You got the set screw here. You got the main body here. You got these two blocks.

This one has the threads in it, and little dog ears, as I'm calling them. And this guy here, so if you notice, where I got my sticker up here, that guy's a little bit taller than that bottom one. So on the 2 1/2 inch option, you want that taller one to be on top per the instructions. Slide that guy in there. You slide this over the ball mount.

You slide this guy in. And then from the bottom under the hitch receiver itself, you would thread this bolt in there, and that would tighten everything up, and this would be pushed this way, and it'd be a nice, tight, anti-rattle, holding everything in place device. So again, this works with a 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch hitch receivers only. It is durable. It's been plated steel construction, should not corrode or rust on you.

And one thing also to note is not compatible with the Tow and Stow ball mounts by B&W, and the Multipro tailgate reducer sleeves, or any weight distribution hitch whatsoever. So again, not designing for those applications. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up for this B&W anti-rattle clamp for your 2 1/2 inch hitch receiver tubes. I'm Steven, thanks for watching. Stay safe out there towing.

This doesn’t fit

Just what i needed!!



by:

Strong steel, easy to install, works



by:

Eliminated all of the play in the receiver. No more banging back and forth.



by:

Work as it should, very strong and durable just did not fit my needs.



by:

Fits the connection between trailer ball hitch and ford factory tow package on my explorer. A simple but robust design that eliminates the annoying rattle.



by:

One of the few 3” hitch tighteners I was able to find at the time. It tightens by an Allen set screw so it’s different than most which use a u bolt. After using this I think u bolt is a better design. I have to keep an eye on it, it loosens up quite often. So it works – as long as I tighten it every time I hit the road.



by:

Great product as always B&W makes great products….3 inch on my new ford sucks as all my other hitches were 2 inch…bless their hearts! But my 3 inch hitch has no rattle now!!!



by:

This product did not really work. If you did not have anything on the trailer hitch, it might work. But, once you added a bike rack, or a hitch, the "anti-Rattle" clamp failed. I threw it away.



by:

Love it. Blends in nice with my sexy weigh safe hitch.

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for a 2-1/2" Receiver
    Hey Randy! The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar item # e38FV does not come in 2-1/2" but I can still make your F-350 happy. A comparable option for a 2-1/2" receiver is the B&W Anti-Rattle Clamp item # BW65FR. This also connects to the lip on the outside of your hitch and tightens down to keep your ball mount from moving around. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this clamp set up.

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Clamp for a 2-1/2" Hitch w/ a 2" Adapter
    Yes, it will David so long as you're using a 2-1/2" hitch to 2" hitch adapter like item # e53YR. The Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer III item # BX88312 is only designed to be used with a 2-1/2" hitch and shank of 2" hitch adapter. If you are looking for a anti-rattle hitch collar I have two options listed below: 2-1/2" Hitch - B&W Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2-1/2" Hitch Receivers item # BW65FR 2" Hitch - etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers item # e38FV I would be...

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" and 2 1/2" Hitches
    Hey Dan, congrats on the new Tacoma! When you say different, what do you mean exactly? The Gen-Y # GY28XR you're referring to is for 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" hitches so the new Tacoma could have a 2" x 2" hitch, which is why it doesn't work. If that's the case, then you'd just need the Gen-Y # GY88XR, which is the same thing as the one you tried already - but is just for 2" hitches. If you have anything else you need help with, feel free to leave a comment down below and we'll take care of you!

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for a B&W Tow & Stow That Works w/ the GM MultiPro Tailgate
    Hey Mike. We have an anti-rattle device that works really well with a B&W Tow & Stow that is compatible with a GM MultiPro Tailgate like item # BWTS20066BMP. It's not a clamp on style though. It's the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches item # SHP2040-XL. The XL Anti-Rattle item # SHP2040-XL uses a threaded insert that will go inside the shank of your B&W ball mount. Tightening the pin into the threaded insert will help to eliminate unwanted rattle in the hitch....

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2-1/2" Hitch Receivers
    Yes, that is correct. The B&W Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2-1/2" Hitch Receivers item # BW65FR will indeed work with the standard B&W Tow & Stow's like the item # BWTS20049B you were looking at. The set screw type of set up is what the new anti-rattle devices are going to. They've proven extremely reliable and we haven't heard of any issues like what you're concerned with. B&W really stands by their products so I wouldn't hesitate to use this. However, if you're still up in the air we do have...
