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

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

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

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

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.

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

Bike shop guy couldn’t get the 4-bike rack to fit, but I did! 512276

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

Easy to installed, but haven’t actually use it yet but it looks like it will work. 561750

I really liked how clean it made my hitch look. The tiny magnet is extremely strong (Which was an initial worry for me) Had it for about a year and no problems with it 402230

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

The "Draw-Tight" hitch silencer and cover seems very well made, and it looks good on our 2016 Mazda CX-9. However, the product engineers/designers missed a small but, in my opinion, important detail. The irony of this product, designed to quiet rattling hitches, is that it rattles. When securing a hitch, everything is solid. But, when there is no hitch, it rattles around on our "Draw-Tight" receiver. It does need to move so that it can function, but what could have been done, and wasn't, was to make the cover hinge "cam" against the receiver when closed, thus putting tension on the device so that it doesn't rattle in it's "stowed" position. "Draw Tight" missed an opportunity to make a 5 star product. Of note, I like it well enough that I do not plan to return the product. Here's a link to a video I made, if etrailer will let it post: [link] 358091

I needed a product that worked in a tight space that would attach/detach easily and this works as advertised. Great product! 411071

It works great! Keeps the rattle quiet and the dirt out of the receiver!

I have had absolutely no issues with this product, or for that matter, any of the products I have purchased from etrailer... wish they made more of the products I use. love the Youtube instructional videos too. Thanks for selling a great product and having great customer service 360366

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

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

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

Installation was a snap, holds a hitch firmly and quietly, fairly loose when not in use so well see if I can hear it rattling back there. I still haven't hauled a load with it but I'm sure it will function as advertised. 361186

This was what I needed, this product was late in coming. Cut down on trailer Friction. Thanks 215313

I was a bit concerned about the fit of the cover from some of the reviews. I received the hitch in a few days. I had to put a little dab of grease to get it to slide on,but it fits true. All seems as it should. I think its a great product. 478832

by: Chris05/31/2016

Like the cover and concept as it keeps dirt out and hitch from rattling so it does job well. Magnet that keeps cover closed rusts and doesn't hold closed as securely over time. Not a huge issue but could be addressed when designed. 254884

One year out the product keeps our hitch from rattling however the magnet that hold the cover closed when not in use does not hold cover well especially in winter.

Chris - 05/31/2017

Product itself is pretty beafy looking. Looks get a 5 star. However, fit gets a 1 as it wobbles around and the supplied pin is 2 -3 Millimeters too short and 1 ml too thin, as the entire thing wobbles around. Many anti rattle devices I have installed for customers in the past have a secure and snug fit. This one seems like I would not be able to keep it on the vehicle without actually towing anything. Very disappointed on design. 348693

by: David Payeur11/29/2017

Trailer attached very easily. Thankfully I also own a torque wrench that was able to seat the bolts correctly. My one concern is that the hitch cover with the DrawTite lever has been caught on the ground as I leave parking lots and this has severely damaged the end of the lever making it difficult to close and engage. 455683

Bought replacement truck in MOORE, OK and ordered hitch and accessories via iPhone in route back to Chicago. Order was there one day after returning and installed the following weekend. Hitch fit and looks like the OEM option and helpful video made the install a snap... did it in my driveway. Good price, fast shipping and wide selection makes etrailer a great value. p.s. I ordered the etrack system for the interior and made cargo containment a pleasure to deal with! 400924

by: Kate01/31/2018

Despite having the correct hitch for this product, getting the hitch in and out with this cover was virtually impossible. The lever was impossible to close to secure the hitch. I had to hack out the inside of this cover to be able to insert the hitch easily. Not good. 471601

The draw tite hitch silencer arrived on time and I installed it in a matter of minutes. I watched the installation video which was truly very helpful. I installed my draw tite hitch and wiring harness earlier in the week with the aid of the videos. I am completely satisfied with the product and the service from etrailer.com and have already recommended them to a friend. 357424

Donna was excellent. Have not installed hitch yet. Will be done 5/15/19. 640927

by: Rex Kemp05/11/2019

I bought this drawtite item along with a drawtite receiver and it didn't fit on the new receiver that they sold me and would only give me an in store credit for it. It wasn't worth sending it back for just a credit for something that didn't even fit their own product. 640878

Love the idea of this product better than the execution. Seems pretty loose once installed. I like the idea of having a simple cover and silencer all in one. But I'm afraid it will rattle as it is. And I hope it doesn't fall off. 639461

My 2” receiver on my Nissan Rogue. Made a lot of noise whenever I towed something. I saw this at etrailer and gave it I try. It works so well that I bought one for my Honda CRV as well. 638492

The product is only 40% of the buying experience. Etrailer beat the competitions price, provided extremely fast shipping, and the customer service is top shelf. Will be buying from Etrailer again. 639313

by: Paul W02/22/2019

The weld on the lip of the hitch made it too thick for this to slide on. Too bad because it is a clever idea for a needed fix. 607170

It's nice and tight when your hitch is in. But rattles loose when no hitch is in (closed). So I give it 3/5 due to only working great for half of its useful purpose. But I'm keeping it on, as it's better than nothing. 600145

The hitch I have is an retailer hitch. The product does not fit well 600090
