Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover for 2" Hitch Receivers

I bought the trailer hitch for a bike rack and the hitch silencer to stop the rattle of my rack. I added the wiring harness mainly because it was so simple to install and I might need it in the future. In a nut shell, you had every thing I needed at a fair price and excellent quality. My order was shipped and delivered quickly. The videos on you website are the really the icing on the cake. This was not my first purchase from etrailer and I will always look at your website first when I need something for my vehicles. 722831

I am extremely happy with your product! Thank you again for the free shipping and prompt delivery. The hitch make my life so much easier, I am able to attach my platform to the rear of my vehicle and drive my scooter on to it with no problem. the Draw-Tite make it solid with no wiggle room. I would definitely recommend you... thanks again a happy customer 721487

From the ease of researching to the purchase and delivery of my orders, etrailer has it all. I highly recommend etrailer for all your towing needs !!!!! 715512

I recently installed a #76156 Draw-Tite Hitch on a 2016 Toyota Highlander. I used a multi-tool with a standard cutting blade to trim the splash guard and exhaust deflector. The vehicle had been Zei(xxxx) rustproofed, but, as I expected, uncoated areas were discovered when the splash guard and spare tire were removed. I treated the areas with a quality spray can undercoating before and after the hitch installation. I checked tyhe condition and pressure of the spare, and sanded some rust and sprayed a little black paint on the rim. I re-used the longer bolts for the tow hook to anchor the passenger side of the hitch, but did not cut the fascia. I sprayed all six holes and the bolts with lithium grease before installing the hitch. Here are the photos of the result. Hope this helps. 718098

I purchased Item #76128 Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver and Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover Item #63080 which will be used primarily for a Yakima hitch mount bike rack on our 2017 CRV AWD Touring. The hitch and cover were well packaged and arrived in great shape. Your website, including product descriptions, videos and installation instructions were excellent and gave me the confidence that the installation would go smoothly. I was able to install the hitch receiver by myself. After lowering and securely suspending the CRV exhaust assembly I placed the hitch mounting brackets on top of the mufflers while putting a strap through the back of the hitch receiver and the CRV to hook. I was then able to use a jack to raise the hitch into place and loosely secure the bolts on the passenger side. The opposite side was a breeze. The hardest part was tightening/torqueing the bolts on the passenger side due to the cramped quarters. Your fish wires are genius! The Draw-Tite Hitch cover & silencer was very easy to install and gives the hitch a very clean appearance. 696443

Good product, stylin', keeps stuff out of your receiver. Used in conjunction with a front mount receiver hitch from Draw Tite on my 2011 Ram 2500. 424677

Definitely helps create a tighter seal with the hitch receiver and mount. Recommended with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver and Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs. 451963

The Draw-tite works as designed with the standard trailer hitch but doesn't work if using a hitch extender. This is my only complaint. The device is easy to install and the magnet holds the cover shut. Overall, a really good product. 453651

After balking at the cost to have an auto-shop add a trailer to our Toyota Highlander, we found etrailer.com and decided to take a chance. The "how to" videos factored considerably in our decision to buy ... they made it look so easy! And surprise! It really -WAS- that easy. We used standard block-type ramps (the kind you can buy for $40 ) to get the SUV up off the ground high enough to get underneath to do the work. Everything came off as easy as it was showed in the videos. Other than the fact this bar is a heavy so we had our teen daughter help hold it steady while we bolted it into place (i.e., get help for when you go to lift it), it went super smooth. Thanks for saving us $280 over the cost the car dealer quoted us! P.S. - be sure to watch the linked videos so you get the right trailer lighting attachment and ball hitch for your new hitch. 510342

We are very happy with our trailer hitch, and all the accoutrements that we purchased with it. Your videos were enormously helpful, the hitch went on easily with a bit of help from our teenage daughter to lift it up into place, and we recommend your business to friends when they express an interest in getting a camper.

This product is exactly what I was expecting. In fact, it is even sturdier and better made than I anticipated. Thanks etrailer for a great product that will last for many years to come! 249202

I have a small trailer and an old car that I need to toe and I wanted a hitch that would be mostly hidden and this one fit exactly how I wanted it to. It was easy to install. Ordering was easy and delivery was quick. The on line help and advise, spot on. My wiring questions were answered, thank you Jason S, and the install videos helpful as well. (Watched them more than once). You guys ( Jason, George and John) made this easy. Thank you. 481677

Keeps the receiver clear and clean between uses. "Clamps" to the hitch when inserted and the lever is closed. 431713

Still love the hitch and racks. They have served me well. And will be put to a further test soon as I head out for some trails of a bit further distance.

The Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer & Cover is in theory a clever item - a cam-lock type of mechanism which tightens a thick rubber gasket around the hitch preventing it from moving/rattling, plus not a bad looking receiver cover added on. So I thought I'd give this dual-purpose and the simple design a try. However, in use it has proven to be a big hassle - the magnet that keeps the cover closed is not strong enough - the cover rarely remains in the closed position (thereby allowing all sorts of road gravel into the inside of the receiver). The thick rubber gasket (which is compressed by the cam-lock mechanism) is too snug and always makes for a very difficult struggle just getting the hitch in and out of this unit. End result, a waste of money - I took this off and I am looking for another option. Not happy with this product. 447331

One year along, and this Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer & Cover is no more.

End result, a waste of money, not happy with this product - I am now using a J-Pin anti-rattle pin Tow Ready Item 63201. So far the J-Pin has been a much better choice.

Would not buy this product again. Magnets used to keep cover closed corroded and cover remains open. Also the lever that tightens the hitch has become loose and in time doesn’t secure the hitch enough to prevent rattling and movement. 562384

Works good thight fit getting it on use a rubber mallet and a little wd 40 405713

It gets out of alignment when locked in with lever a tap with a hammer takes care of that

Well designed and manufactured. It is a very tight fit on a Curt hitch, though. Have not tried towing, but the slop in the receiver is almost completely gone. Should be a much quieter tow... 506051

I just got the product and haven't installed it yet but the packaging was torn to shreds. Even the UPS delivery guy commented about it. Everything was there. The products all look as described and I am pleased with that. I will let you know how it installs when we are done. Thanks 370154

I bought this accessory thinking I could use it to quiet the rattling that typically occurs with a ball mount in the receiver, which it does, but also to cover the empty receiver when the ball mount is not installed, which it also does. However, when the ball mount is not installed in the receiver, this item itself is loose on the receiver, and can rattle. It is designed to slide laterally on the end of the receiver, as you operate the aluminum locking lever. With a ball mount installed, this presses the mount against the side of the receiver, preventing it from moving as much as it would without the device. Without a ball mount installed, it can slide back and forth as you drive down the road, and the locking lever will not stay fully locked. Also, the door magnets are very weak. I am sure that any car wash brushes will easily flip the door open. I would just use it only when the ball mount is installed, and remove it when it's not, but to do so would require removing/installing the plastic hinge pin each time, and I doubt it will be durable enough to tolerate too many removals/installations before breaking. I could have done without this, I think. 366729

I was excited to purchase the Draw-Tite hitch anti rattle device, so I ordered two, but when I went to installed the device it would not go on the hitch of the class "A" diesel pusher. So I tried to install on our F-350 and it would not go on. Both of the units have factory installed hitches. The device is not wide enough in the channel area, nor is it wide enough to slide over the receiver. So with this said, what hitch will they fit. 476964

George, It sounds as if your class A motorhome and your ford F-350 have a 2 1/2 inch hitch. You can measure the opening of your hitch to determine what you have. These draw-tite hitch silencers are made to fit a 2 inch hitch. If you have a 2 1/2 inch hitch I would recommend roadmaster quiet hitch part #RM-062. I have attached a link to help you measure your hitch opening.

Went on my Drawtite hitch as shown. Seems to me that the door could latch a little tighter when it is covering the hitch receiver. Also, when cargo carrier is in hitch and the latch is secured to tighten the tongue in the receiver there is still a little bit of play. This could be cargo carrier specific Generally, for the cost this is ok. Will report more after my 2000 mile move to Colorado. 430278

This product, after a year, I think is just so-so. The magnet that latches the door when the hitch is not in use is weak and as a result the hitch receiver can become quite dirty resulting in difficulties when using my cargo carrier. The built in anti rattle feature sometimes isnt the greatest, allowing some rattle noise in certain road and driving conditions.

TonyT - 09/11/2018

Works great as product to eliminate hitch rattle - my problem is that my hitch is close to the ground & I keep knocking off the cover when I hit curbs... but it is inexpensive and quick to replace... worth the money 549666

This is great product and works as advertised. No knocking and clanking noise. Installs quickly and easily. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a smooth and quiet ride when pulling a trailer. 430055

I am very pleased with my new trailer hitch receiver (76112). It hides very neatly under the plastic tank cover with only the receiver sticking out. It looks very much like it was installed from the factory. I also purchased the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Silencer this was a great addition, not only does it reduce noise and vibration it looks great when its not use. It has a magnetic door that covers up the receiver hole.. Very Nice !! I've ordered from etrailer at least twice now, their staff has always been very helpful, shipping was very fast and accurate.. I Highly recommend them !! 520933

Looks good on the hitch and works as ex pected. 274716

Worked great for the 3 days I have had it installed. Unfortunately I bottomed out the hitch on a driveway causing the aluminum handle to bend and the magnet came loose causing the door to swing freely now. When I did use it for the bike rack it worked great. It would still work great if the magnet didn't pop out holding the door closed. Kind of bummed it was a waste of $20. I can't find an adhesive to hold the magnet in place. 527199

Epoxy would be a great choice, but since you need only a tiny amount, Id give Gorilla glue a shot.

Fills the hitch opening and looks pretty cool. If there was a criticism, it would be that the hinge pin to let you open it to the left for hitch insertion, should probably be from the top down instead of the bottom up--thinking gravity? 728954

Excellent Accessory for hitch safety 724901

This Hitch fit perfect in my Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X model. 725502

Still to be used. 724609

Horrible! I was hopeful, but in the end nice concept and looks good, but fell short. When placed on my high it was very loose and rattles when not in use (IRONIC). Door magnet is weak and too small for the application. When placed in service, the movement of my rack remained exactly the same, as if I had no anti-rattle device in place. Hinge pin is plastic and is not durable to live up to use, especially if the pin needs to be pulled periodically. It was completely unable to do as stated. Would not recommend, true disappointment. 723102

I have less wobble and no whistle. I think it makes the hitch neat and tidy looking, which is a bonus. 719530

We have a truck camper, and needed more room for our camping equipment. Purchased this front hitch from etrailer, and it has been awesome. Have used it to carry our generator, and bought a cargo tray that we use also. Love it! Thanks! 717021

Product sticks down too low and is easily damaged. Clamp lever got bent and could not be tightened. Hinged door broke off completley. I have since replaced it with another anti rattle device. 715412

Does not stay closed after 2 months of use the magnet was glued to the plastic door part of the cover but the glue no longer works so I took the cover off. BASICALLY NOW IT IS WORTHLESS. i SHOULD SEND IT BACK TO GET A REFUND. 706283

Bought 2. Neither would fit FOMOCO 2”, Explorer or Expedition. Was impressed with design and manufacture. A little pricey. 705306

This hitch cover is specifically designed to work with hitches that have a pronounced collar.There is also a note on the page that indicates is not compatible with most OEM hitches, such as yours.

At first it worked great, 3 months later the cover would not stay closed because the magnets rusted and no longer made contact. I have to sand the magnets every month or the cover will not stay closed. Disappointed with product! 699025
