Use this hitch immobilizer to keep your ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory from rattling and shifting in your receiver. Great for tow bars, high-low adapters, bike racks, cargo carriers, and more. Quick, simple bolt-on installation.
Features:
Specs:
Nearly every hitch setup suffers from a bit of slip. This free play between your trailer hitch receiver and your hitch-mounted accessory is completely normal, but it's also completely preventable. By adding the Quiet Hitch to your setup, you can stabilize your hitch-mounted accessory as it sits in the receiver to eliminate rattle, sway, and all that extra play.
Just slip the Quiet Hitch over your tow bar, hitch adapter, ball mount, or other accessory. When you slide the accessory into the hitch receiver, position the U-bolt around the collar on the bottom of your hitch receiver. Then place the bar on top of the accessory shank and tighten the nuts onto the U-bolt. As you tighten the Quiet Hitch, the shank of your accessory will be pulled down towards the bottom of the receiver opening, thus securing it in place within the tube.
Benefits for a Tow Bar
Using an anti-rattle device, such as the Quiet Hitch, is recommended when flat towing a vehicle. Besides reducing wear and tear on your tires, hitch receiver, and tow bar, using an anti-rattle device can help prevent more serious problems. A small amount of free play at your hitch may not seem like much, but this sway is magnified the farther back you go. A little movement at the hitch translates to a lot of movement at the rear of your towed vehicle. By using the Quiet Hitch, you eliminate this sway at the source.
Note: If you have a towing setup that includes a drop receiver or a high-low adapter, use 2 immobilizers to make your system as secure and rattle-free as possible. Use 1 Quiet Hitch at the connection point between the adapter and your hitch, and use the other where your tow bar slides into the adapter.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for two-inch hitches. This is part #RM-061, and this very simple product is an awesome solution for those noisy, rattly hitches that we have all the time. In this case we're using it with a tow-bar set-up on the Roadmaster spare tire carrier. You can use this directly on the receiver tube of your truck, the back of your camper, wherever you've got a two inch opening with enough clearance for the u-bolt to go around, it'll work out great. What we want to do is remove the nuts. Now depending on your application, you'll either bring this around the bottom of the receiver tube, angle it rearward and slide our block on. This is going to be for any load that's putting weight down, that is applying ton weight.
In this case, our tow bar . it's not really, it's kind of a passive system, it's not pressing down, it's not pulling up but we'd want to switch it into the top configuration like this, again angled rearward, and up when we're doing the weight distribution style setup. Now again, you see the movement and the play that we've got there, we'll bring in the Quiet Hitch, bring it right up around the bottom. Slide the bar on top, and then our flange nuts are going to go on first. Tighten these down equally. Once we have our flange nuts snug down we're going to torque them to the specification that we'll find in the instructions.
Then we'll put our jam nuts right down on top, and tighten those to the same spec. You can see with the Quiet Hitch installed, we've got no movement, no vibration at all coming from this tow bar. It's going to give us a good solid ride and great stability no matter what our load is going to be. Whether it's a cargo carrier, bike rack, ball mount, we'll have a nice stable platform to connect or attach our accessories to. Even on the side-to-side no movement, no wiggle. Everything's nice and solid. Now that we've seen how it works and how helpful it can be, that's going to complete today's look at the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for two-inch hitches.

Use this hitch immobilizer to keep your ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory from rattling and shifting in your receiver. Great for tow bars, high-low adapters, bike racks, cargo carriers, and more. Quick, simple bolt-on installation.Haven't used this yet but looks like it will keep the tow bar from swaying. 700643
So far this hitch quieter works as advertised. Easy way to keep the tow bar from rattling. 559995
This was a great purchase for me. Makes towing seem more solid. No clunking every time I hit a small bump in the road. Nice item. Glad I purchased it.
Steve - 08/30/2019Used in conjunction with a hitch extender to mount a hitch mount bike rack. Nice setup. 428255
They work great...we needed an extender due to the spare tire mounted on the back of the jeep to mount a bike rack. Extender works great for that purpose and the anti-tattle piece works great.
MikeD - 09/04/2018Worked great for getting rid of the loose fitting receiver . Works with other than Reece hitches 567795
After several trips with the hitch rattling aggressively inside the receiver hitch I ordered this item from etrailer. It arrived a few days earlier than expected, and was super simple to install. The directions say to torque to 23 Lbs, but since I don't own a torque wrench I just tightened it to what I though would be tight yet not stressful for the unit. It installed with two nuts, followed by two additional nuts to lock the whole thing in place. You can put it on with the bar on the outside top of your hitch, or on the bottom outside of your hitch, depending on whether the ball tends to have a heavy tongue weight or not. I put it on with the bar on the outside top, and it has worked great. No more rattling or clunking when I change speeds or go over a speed bump. On nice feature, I think. We don't keep the hitch installed all the time on our Subaru, so I can quickly unbolt this clamp, remove the pin that holds the hitch in the receiver, and the task is quickly accomplished. Last comment: We have a factory supplied receiver hitch for our 2019 Subaru Ascent, and the space between the end of the receiver and the hitch is very short. Other anti-rattle devices would not have fit in that small space, nor fit around the very small space between the receiver and the rear bumper trim. This item fit easily, which is why I selected it to start with. 695095
I order the roadmaster quiet hitch from E-trailer and it seems to be working OK, it's taken out about half of the wobble on my hitch Accessory. I give E-trailer of 5 star for shipping it out, it only took about a week. And I give the product about 4 stars because it is built sturdy and seems to be working OK. 547093
Ive had to replace both nuts on both sides due to the fact they just did not seem to tighten down and stay tight. I went ahead and bought hardened nuts instead and they seem to be working out. It still only keeps the rattle down to about 50 or 70 but its better than nothing
Matt J - 07/25/2019
I never made it a year with this product. After the first installation the threads on the u-bolt started to coming off. Installed the nuts, in order, hand tight then torqued, then added the second nut and torqued that one with an beam type torque wrench. I used this device to stabilize my bicycle rack, so it's not like there was a lot of stress on it. I found a similar device on an online auction site that had a thicker bolt and didn't use the jam nut set-up. This works much better than this device ever did. 559278
This Quiet Hitch performs as advertised. I think it was a tad expensive, but still worth the money. One of the advantages it has over the competition, is that when you are NOT using it, it becomes basically a TWO dimensional object for storage. This is not an insignificant positive feature compared to what else is offered out there. Actually is was one of the main reasons I bought this one. 155602
While I dont use it much, I think it is great, and miss it when I dont take the time to put it on.
Kerry P - 10/11/2015Recent purchase of a Pro Series Cargo Carrier 63153. Assembly of the carrier was very straight forward but when installed into the 2" receiver, there was too much play at the receiver for my liking. Jonathan at etrailer recommended the RM-061 Quiet Hitch and got it to me while away on a trip. Installation was easy and it completely eliminated all the play. Now the cargo carrier acts like it is part of the truck, not and add on, a perfect solution!! 260511
I have a double hitch installed on my Class C motorhome for my bike rack and my Blue Ox to tow the car. I installed 2 of these and they completely eliminated all the movement in the assembly. I also added a Quiet Hitch Pin for the top receiver that did not have a lip. It also works perfectly. Thanks for great products! 402869
After a year, my hitch parts are still tight and doing the job of eliminating all wobbles.
Ila L - 07/09/2018This invention is exactly what I needed. I pull several trailers and also a camper. It takes all the clunk and rattle out of the hitch. Its the real deal! 506027
It still works great and I would not pull one of my trailers without it!
Donald - 05/09/2019I bought this little device to tame my clunking hitch, and I was amazed at how simple it was to install (1 minute once you break out the ratchet!). Better yet, it works great. Awesome and easy, can't beat that. 151043
I still use it and really like it. It is the best hitch stabilizing device I have ever seen, and at a great price.
Roy S - 09/15/2015The product does what it was intended for. I have a 8 inch hitch extension,so, I bought two of them. Sure makes things solid. I would love to see this item in stainless steel. 182776
I have since removed the 8 inch hitch extension,so now I only use one, works great, I have mine in the pressing down position, the nuts are facing up, much better than facing down.
Mark S - 04/02/2016Didn't really fit my SUV. Etrailer did well, but I had to go to elsewhere to find the right product. 567181
I just fitted the Blue Ox towbar, for 6 inch, drop/rise, receivers. Also, the, Roadmaster quiet hitch lock, for 2 inch hitches. Both are excellent products, strong and very well made. There is no movement, with my new hitch lock in place. Two pictures included, showing both, attached to my Subaru Ascent, the drop hitch now sits at 15 1/2 inches above the ground. I will send more pictures of the lights, also purchased from etrailer.com when my mobility scooter carrier is completed. 663644
Purchased the Swagman Traveler XCS Platform Style Rack bicycle rack mounted on a 15 ¾ “ Hidden Hitch ball mount. It allowed me to tow 2 bicycles mounted on the hitch and still tow our 15 ft. pop up camper. After a year on the road hauling the camper, I could not be happier. The Swagmen bike rack is superbly engineered and manufactured. The designers seemed to think of everything as far as usability and durability. I definitely recommend also using the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch Anti Rattle device. It provided positive clamping to eliminate tow bar movement within the hitch receiver. Also purchased the Roadmaster 8” Safety Cable Extensions which were needed to allow attachment of the safety chains which were not long enough to reach the hitch mounting once the longer ball mount was installed. Also praise to Kelsey W. at etrailer.com who assisted me by answering my questions and guiding me through the sale. All equipment arrived within the time promised and all in good shape. 504198
I installed this jewel of a part onto my hitch, drawbar in less than five minutes, and the heavy duty bike rack lost all its wobble when the bikes are loaded. This accessory is a must for all wobbly bike racks. It snugs down the draw bar as good as if it was welded onto the hitch. I highly recommend this accessory. 132885
The product failed, Bolts stripped while towing.
Stephen P - 05/27/2015I have both a front and back hitch mount on my 2006 Toyota Tacoma...pulling various sized trailers a lot and had a lot of rattling from the back receiver/hitch setup...most impressive the ease of installation and lack of noise after buying a RM-061 Roadmaster Quiet Hitch clamp! Am presently building a motorcycle carrier for my front hitch and it involved having a 6" riser added and then the receiver for the ramp, so I ordered 2 more of this item! It is going to be so nice not to have to listen to all that rattling as I go down the road! This is a great and easy to install product...heavy duty and should last forever! You will notice in the picture that I mounted it upside down compared to use in the video. This prevented me from having to sit on the ground and put the nuts on and tighten them from under the clamp...either way works fine! 47845
It works great. The hitch used to bang and clunk all the time, shaking the vehicle. Now it is quiet, and pleasant, to tow the trailer. 570747
I ended up using a 7-1/2 inch Roadmaster extender along with a Roadmaster 4" Hi-Lo adapter to tow our Jeep with our motorhome. I used 3 of the quiet hitch brackets to stabilize the extensions and tow bar. We towed for the first time this weekend for about a 170 mile round trip. The Jeep tracked perfectly behind the motorhome. I had to make several hard stops due to lights changing and cars pulling into traffic unexpectedly. There was absolutely no noise or hitch bounce. They are easily installed. I highly recommend this product. 114431
I just received my Roadmaster Quite Hitch and placed in on my trailer hitch. I must say, it WORKS! My bike rack no longer shakes or rattles. I which I had purchased this item years ago. Thank you. 173620
Ive had my Roadmaster Quite Hitch for a year now and use it several times a month to keep my bike rack from rattling. This item works great and is worth the cost. Thank you!
Yorba L - 02/13/2016After a long review of available products to reduce rattle on my low-tongue-weight job trailer, I settled on this unit as my only hope. I had to install it upside-down (nuts down) because the safety chain anchor rings on my Jeep Renegade block access to the lower lip on the receiver. Even so, it eliminated the greatest part of the awful rattle, bringing the problem down to a truly acceptable level. 272735
After a year, the hitch rattles slightly more than it did when I first installed it yes, the torque is still proper but still nowhere near as bad as it did before I purchased it.
Grand A - 09/30/2017This is very simple - but ingenious. This is the first thing that has worked. And I've tried most of them. 114076
After a year, Im still very happy with this product. My trailer used to drive me nuts banging around in the receiver. Now its as if the hitch and receiver are all one piece. This simple thing really does the trick.
Terry M - 01/17/2015Quiet Hitch did what it's called, easy to install and locked down the hitch extender I use for my bike rack. There is now zero movement in between the extender and my jeep. 79082
Quiet Hitch has been installed for a year straight and its still as tight as when it was installed. No signs of rust or corrosion and best of all there is no noise.
Aaron S - 05/07/2014I received the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch 2 inch. I had a bad hitch rattle and a clunking noise when I took off from a red light pulling my travel trailer. The u clamp was received with fast service and had great help from Renee in getting the right thing I needed to stop my problem. A good product and stopped all of my problems. Very satisfied. 196427
Great I LOVE it. Still does what I bought it for. Have a tight hitch.
Sigrid W - 06/07/2016Here is my setup using the items from my two orders, including the two ant-rattle devices. The pictures aren't that great of quality, since I just used my cell phone (my only camera anymore). Everything works perfectly. 10379
Well built, easy to install, great for use on most ball mounts. For my application the ball mount height imposed high tension loads during braking and stretched the "U" bolt loosening it up. 563134
I haven't towed anything yet after installing this product, however I've tried to get the hitch to wiggle using both hands and plenty of body English. The hitch is as tight as if welded. It's nice to purchase a product that works as well as or better than advertised! 376882
This item stopped the loose slop rattle on day 1. Still works well after one year.
GREGORY C - 05/06/2018I love this product. No more rattle. Wish I had purchased it sooner 727519
Removed the play in the hitch. Pleased with product so far, this is the first trip using it. 727455
Just what I needed. Still holding strong after 1 year. I used it to keep a 4 bike hitch mount rack, from jiggling around. I feel more confident when its all locked down. High recommend this. 727136
I used this to reduce the rattle in our hitch we use when we tow four flat behind our motor home. It's simple design make it strong and easy to use. 726359
Nice strong clamp 722050
Solid, very effective product. Adds security since it essentially bolts whatever is in the hitch to the receiver. 721772
Have used before and I wouldn’t tow without it 721649
Works like a charm . So simple and easy to install too. Shoulda got it long time ago! 720502
Great transaction. I have always had good things to say about this company. They are my “Goto” guys for anything dealing with tow items. 720154
Solid, easy and it won’t budge. 718275
Works just as described. Now we don't get that annoying clunking on our Subaru hitch while pulling our little teardrop trailer. Fast shipping. 718175
Works fine 718024
One word... Solid. 715172
Excellent product. I used it to stop the movement on my front mount class IV hitch with a carry basket and mounted generator. I also have one on my rear mount class IV hitch to handle my truck camper steps and extended tow bar. NO MOVEMENT front or back. Just perfect. Well worth the money. 714387
Just what I order and it was on time. 713498
Just received this product and its fits nicely on my 2016 Toyota Tundra. I haven't towed my 28' enclosed trailer with it yet, but it definitely keeps the ball mount and hitch tight when i try to wiggle the mount. I am looking forward to no rattling ball mount when pulling my trailer. Thank you etrailer. 713166
eTrailer is my go-to source for all trailer products, even the basics like this silencer. This is my second such item and I bought it because “it works”, with very little tah rah. Good product - good company. 711761
I just bought a new bike rack for my E-bike, and in order to be able to put the tailgate down with the e-bike on the rack, I had to install a 7" extender on to the 2" hitch. The bike rack already had a anti-rattle device built in, but the 7" extension moved around a lot, making my e-bike sway real bad while on the road. A simple and excellent fix was installing the Quiet Hitch, an Anti-rattle Ring. After I installed it, the bike rack was solid as a rock. Installed in just a few minutes, and very well made. (Of course, it's made in the good old USA.). Made by Roadmaster. Good Job! 710816
Awesome product, used them on motor home and no more rattle. Will now use them on my truck. 710808
This little device works great! It is simple to install and does exactly what it is advertised to do. 706924
Definitely improved upon the poor design of the hitch receiver, much less noise 706607
Used this on a trip across country with our motorhome pulling a trailer with a motorcycle on it. It only loosened up one time and had to be tightened again. Over 9,000 miles and no noise from the hitch. 706319
