Note: This hitch silencer and cover is not for use on OEM (factory) hitches or on Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Class 5 hitches.
The QSP trailer hitch silencer is the perfect accessory for your 2" x 2" Draw-Tite hitch. It enhances your towing experience by helping to reduce the free play that exists between your trailer hitch receiver and your ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory. By adding the QSP to your setup, you can stabilize your hitch-mounted accessory as it sits in the receiver to eliminate noisy rattle, jarring, vibrations, and sway that might otherwise cause damage to your hitch or equipment.
Installing the QSP silencer and cover is easy. Slide the QSP bracket over the collar of your hitch receiver. Then attach the cover to the bracket with the included hinge pin.
To use the QSP, open the cover and raise the lever. Then insert your accessory or towing equipment into your hitch receiver and secure it with a pin and clip (sold separately). Finally, lower the lever to tighten the QSP around your receiver and the shank of your accessory or towing equipment.
When you're not using your receiver, the attached cover helps to keep out grime and works to deter rust. This hinged cover proudly displays the well-known Draw-Tite name on the back of your vehicle. Magnets in the cover and on the bracket help to keep the cover closed.

Have used this product with both bike rack and trailers. It helps insure a tight connection. Plus the cover helps keep the inside of the receiver clean.
David W - 07/26/2021I like the way it looks, and it is an extremely noticeable difference in the reduction of rattling and noise. I see what others have said about the magnets being weak, but as I normally have a drawbar or other accessory inserted into the receiver, I doubt it would bother me if that were to fail. It was very easily installed, the hardest part was inserting the plastic hinge pin and getting everything to line up properly without being to see from the top (the receiver end is under the bumper). I would buy this again and/or recommend it to others looking for an inexpensive yet stylish solution.
Installed on 2020 Forester with DrawTite hitch receiver. The installation instructions were clear and simple to follow. Attaching receivers or accessories is easy if you remember to Align the opening of the silencer before inserting the hitch. The anti-rattle works well to stabilize my fully loaded Yakima HoldUp 4 bike rack. When not in use the cover keeps the receiver clean. The only negative was the magnet in the door half was poorly glued and detached. Fortunately it remained attached to the other magnet. Cleaned the residue and re-attached with gorilla glue - magnet is better than new!
Before I bought this product, I had a large rattle on my hitch when pulling my boat. If I had a passenger in my truck they would say what was that noise, aren't you worried about it? The Draw-Tite solved the problem. Hands down is the best product on the market right now and the door closes when the hitch is not on the truck. It is a great product and I would recommend it.
John C - 07/02/2021Wow! What a great experience! I purchased a trailer hitch rattler silencer/stabilizer collar from etrailer.. The website was very user friendly, the pricing was very fair and reasonable and the delivery was extremely swift. I’m new to towing but not to online purchasing. etrailer is a great company to conduct business with and I KNOW I’ll be back again. Go! Buy from them now!!!
Great anti vibration and cover for a 2" hitch. The only downside that it does make alignment harder when inserting the hitch attachments.
Installation was way less than a minute. To use just loosen the lever, insert your ball mount and hitch pin as normal, then clamp the lever down. I've got some rough roads I travel some times which caused me to give this a try. I've traveled those roads using this silencer and it was quiet and peaceful. Don't know how long it will hold up, but it's working great now. Tried to add photos, but it wouldn't work.
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.
Everett R - 11/11/2020This doesn't fit an insert like on a 2500HD truck. I did use it on a hitch extension and it is very, very hard to push the hitch in or get it back out of the Silencer. The plastic pin that is in the hinge of the cap seems very cheap and seems like it will break or fall out soon. Not a good product.
Sierra K - 06/18/2021The ordering and delivery process was professional and efficient.
Francis - 07/09/2021On 2019 Mazda CX-5 Turbo made a great improvement in reducing noise and vibration/rattling when towing a loaded open two-motorcycle aluminum trailer (total weight @ 2,100lbs). My riding buddy shared the driving on 1500 mile tows to and from AZ; without the DrawTite on down southbound leg, with it when returning north. He, too, found the DrawTite a big improvement, he will also purchase one for his Highlander. It's still just a little too loose to earn a full 5-star rating, but the very short receiver tubing length of small SUV's is likely the reason. I suspect the DrawTite's design would have to get much more complex, heavy and expensive to completely take 'all' possible play out of the 'short' receiver tubes.
Would have liked to used with bike rack, but 2” rubber covering did not totally extend the length of the 1.5” shaft. I Will keep it for soon to be trailer.
This is an attractive way to finish off the obvious receiver protruding out of the front of my F-150. I have forgotten to unlock it and that has caused some frustration. It is a cam type binding mechanism for quieting attatchments. Overall it is a good design and I am recommending it to others.
It makes it very difficult to attach our bike rack with this installed and very difficult to remove.I purchased an extender for our 2 inch hitch and this will not work with it. Bad investment for what it does and doesn't do!
Installation was easy (after I had to retap the old crusty factory threadeed hooles in the under carrage of our 2014 0Rav4). Looks very good on the car. Now to pickout a bike rack.
Easy install. Slide in, position cap, and drive in the pin. Pin is held in via tension and installed from the bottom. I don't see while it would not hold its position with the tension, but a nut/bolt and thread locker would have made me more comfortable about long term/weather resistant hold power.
Purchased this at the same time as the Draw-Tite hitch for my 2021 Forester. Works perfect when the receiver is installed but it's horrible when it's not. I already had a hidden hitch adapter for eliminating the rattling and vibration when the receiver was in. This appealed to me as it was something I could leave on all of the time and it would act as a cover for the opening while not in use. Problem is, when the receiver is out this cover becomes extremely loose and rattles. Wouldn't recommend unless you predominantly use this with the receiver installed.
Easy to find on-line website. Web site was easy to navigate. Outstanding quality of product. Simple instructions and video offered made installation extremely simple, down to the size of socket required. I am hard to please and with so much competition for products and services I do not offer second chances. I highly recommend etrailer.com. I will continue to use etrailer.com for future purchases.
Great item that muffles the rattle from you trailer hitch during trailering. Easy to install and acts as a cover when you pull the tongue out. Pretty durable, but not for constant use with the tongue installed when not trailering. Love the cover!
I guess it works fine. I find it difficult to the trailer ball extension on and lock it into place. I did notice that you now sell a device to put on the hitch extension to line up the hole. Good idea.
THOMAS B - 04/06/2021Does what it’s supposed to. I keep it on my Wrangler 24/7 with an extension to get past the spare on the tailgate. I use the hitch for a cargo tray, and Thule bike rack (that also serves as a ski rack).
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.
I really like this Hitch cover. Quality construction and materials. It looks great and it convenient.
Tom D - 06/20/2021I have a draw tight hitch, so this is a match to my hitch. This item is a nice cover, but that’s about it! Don’t buy it intending on tightening your hitch to keep it from rattling, because it will not! I tested it on multiple things, towing a dolly, NG!, towing my car behind my RV, NG, I even put it on my hitch mounted luggage carrier, “buzz”, NG! I had to buy a traditional hitch tightener and that did the trick!.
Had a great experience with etrailer. Compete trailer hitch novice. They walked me through everything and made sure all my items would work together with my car make and model. The silencer and cover look great and keep rattling quiet.
