• Can 2023 Ford Maverick Use Weight Distribution Hitch
  Hi Brandon; are you towing near the max capacity of your Maverick? The information you saw is correct. Most unibody vehicles do not allow the use of a weight distribution hitch (WDH) but there are some exceptions. The answer can typically be found in the owner's manual. I don't see anything specifically listed in the manual online saying it can't be used but I recommend double checking yours to be sure. It might also be a good idea to double check with the dealer. Assuming you find the...

• How Can I Be Sure The Benton LittleShift Bike Rack Hitch Pin Is Fully Inserted?
  Hey James, thanks for reaching out. For the Benton LittleShift Bike Rack # B54VR the pin should be inserted until the "shoulder" of the bolt is flush up against the side of the hitch. I've included a few pictures to help illustrate. If you insert it to this point and tighten the nut down all the way it should get rid of most of the play. If it still moves your best bet will be to add an anti-rattle device like part # e99007. That'll help snug things up and prevent any excessive movement....

• What Can Help Control the Bouncing and Shaking Seen on Hitch Mounted Cargo Carriers
  The bouncing and shaking that you saw in the video is the norm on the majority of cargo carriers on the market. The extended location from the hitch causes the carrier to bounce more than a hitch accessory that might sit closer to the vehicle. There are a few products that can help with the bounce. An anti-rattle device, like # e99007 for 2 inch hitches, can help by securing the cargo carrier's hitch shank to the hitch receiver. The bolts will push the shank up tight against the top of...

• Should etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer e99007 Install Above or Below Shank
  Hey Dave, sorry about the confusion! Realistically you can install the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007 in either orientation so it's up to you. If you would rather it hold the ball mount down you'd put the plate on the bottom and vice versa.

• Availability Of Replacement U-Bolt For etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer e99007
  Hey Gilbert, thanks for reaching out. The U-bolt that comes with the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007 is not sold as a separate item. If yours broke, the only option will be a whole new stabilizer. Just out of curiosity, what happened to the U-bolt that caused it to break. I've never heard of that happening before.

• Will the RV Rider # HLY64FR Work for My 2 E-Bikes on My Fifth-Wheel with a Rear Ladder?
  Yes - the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # HLY64FR is the same as model HR1700. We here at etrailer usually have different part numbers than the bike rack manufacturer. With the ladder at the middle of your 2022 Grand Design Reflection 341RDS, there is a way to know for sure if the rack does not interfere with the RV Rider when folded up. The measurement you need to conduct is from the center of your hitch pin hole to the furthest outward point of...

• Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for Tow Bar
  Hey Tom, you can definitely use an anti-rattle device like the etrailer anti-rattle part # e99007 with a tow bar. We don't have pictures with this and a tow bar as that's not normally the most common application but there's no reason it wouldn't work. You can use one for the tow bar and also one for the high low adapter as well. This is a really solid option that will work well for you and is easy to use so I recommend it. What vehicle are you flat towing?

• Which Anti-Rattle Clamp Is Best For Electric Bike Rack To Keep It Stable?
  Hey there Lisa, hope you're having a great day. So you actually brought up a really good question. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers # e38FV uses a gate that comes down and makes contact with the shank of the bike rack or ball mount, and this will not interfere with the hitch pin that is included in some bike racks, such as with the Yakima OnRamp LX Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # Y88DJ. The etrailer clamp will be more effective in stabilizing the...

• Anti-Rattle Device For Weight Distribution System
  Hi John! The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches - Vinyl Coated Steel # e99007 could be used with weight distribution, but I don't think it's the one I would go for. It works really well for things like bike racks, cargo carrier, and other smaller things, but I would go with something a little more heavy duty if I were doing this. The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061 is what I would go with. This is a more heavy duty anti-rattle device and the price...

• 2022 Toyota Highlander Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Thule Bike Rack with 1-1/4" Shank
  We're glad you found us too, William! I see you've ordered the Curt Hitch # C45CR for your 2022 Toyota Highlander along with the Adapter # e58YR and Anti-Rattle # e99007 - these will work great for your setup! Just note that you'll need an additional hitch pin for the adapter, so if you don't have one, I recommend picking up the etrailer Coupler Lock # e98882 so everything is locked as well. Just wanted to note one thing; Thule doesn't like it when non-Thule adapters are used for their...

• Can I Use The Anti Rattle e99007 With An aluminum Shank?
  Hey Matthew, You can absolutely use the # e99007 with an aluminum tongue accessory. Since it is something that installs and is hand tightened down there will not be any issues. You will want to periodically check the nuts to make sure they are tight and adjust accordingly, but this is going to work great for you. What hitch accessory are you using this with?

• Anti-Rattle Recommendation For Trailer Hitch Receiver
  There are a couple of good anti-rattle options for you, but definitely do not drill a hole into the receiver as it can compromise it. So what you can do is either add a clamp-on style stabilizer, or an anti-rattle hitch pin lock, depending on the style you prefer: - etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007 - Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches # SR25219 I like the hitch pin because it gives you the benefit of a lock as well,...

• Anti-Rattle Device Needed To Help With A Hitch Extender And Bike Rack Setup On A Hummer
  Hey Matt, The Gen-Y Hitch Receiver Hitch Extender # GY89SR would have a tiny bit of play since it's not designed to be anti-rattle. Using a hitch extender like this would also reduce the trailer hitch's capacity by 50% since it's leveraging the tongue weight on the trailer hitch further out then originally intended. The anti-rattle device in your bike rack's shank would still work but the extender will cancel that out by rattling in the trailer hitch. You can use an anti-rattle device...

• Will The EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7299 Fit A 2019 Honda Civic
  Hey Martin, The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7299 is designed to fit 2010 - 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour and 2012 - 2015 Honda Crosstour so it will not be a fit for your 2019 Civic. There's currently only two options confirmed to fit; the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24954 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C92UR. These are both Class I hitches with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. Of the two I recommend the Curt # C92UR because Curt typically does a better...

• Is There an Adapter to Use a 1-1/4" Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack in a 2" Hitch
  I don't have a great answer for you because of the shank style the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH23JV uses. The # TH23JV rack uses an AutoAttach system that does not allow for some adapters to work well. You would need to go with a hitch reducer like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e58YR, which reduces the hitch size rather than expanding the shank size on the bike rack. This will allow you to use your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH23JV but it will reduce the weight capacity of...

• Is There A 12" Hitch Extension I Can Use While Flat Towing?
  I do have a potential solution for you, but I do not have an extender that will measure exactly 12". At least nothing that will be rated for use while flat towing. I do have a 14" hitch extender from Gen-Y part # GY89SR. This is rated for 10,000 lbs towing and 500 lbs tongue weight. It is recommended to use an anti rattle device like part # e99007 when using an extension. This will help to reduce any additional play at the hitch. You will also need a second hitch pin like the # e98880. Please...

• How to Get etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer to Fit with 2015 Chevy Silverado with Low Bumper
  You should be able to flip the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007 upside down and install it that way to gain enough clearance. We've had a handful of customers do this and I've linked a photo showing you how this would be done. If that isn't possible with your setup please let me know what you're needing to secure to your truck's hitch receiver and I'll be happy to see if we have an alternative solution for you!

• Can 18 Hitch Extension HE18 Be Used To Carry Cargo Carrier Or Tow Small Boat?
  You are correct. Using the Draw-Tite Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 18" Long # HE18 you were looking at will limit the tongue weight rating to 350lbs and a 3500lb trailer weight rating, but also reduces the capacities of your trailer hitch receiver by 50%. For example if the trailer hitch receiver on your 2001 Ford F-250 has a tongue weight rating of 1000lbs, and a trailer weight rating 10000lbs your would now be limited to 500lbs tongue weight and 5000lbs trailer weight. Since...

• Thule T2 Bike Rack Hits Bumper in Folded Position on 2012 Toyota Sienna
  You have 2 choices at this point. For the first option, you could use an extender like # HES6 which would provide an additional 5-3/4 inches of clearance for your Thule T2 Pro XTR, part # TH69TX which would allow it to fold but using an extender would reduce the tongue weight capacity (maximum amount of downward force that can safely be applied to the receiver) by 50%. This won't be a problem, as the # 75237 hitch you purchased has a very substantial 675 lb tongue weight capacity. Half...

• Should Plate On etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer e99007 Be On Top Or Bottom Of Hitch?
  The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches - Vinyl Coated Steel # e99007 you were looking at is designed for the plate to be on top of the receiver and accessory with the bent portion of the plate resting on the shank of the accessory in your hitch. This will push the accessory down and keep it from rattling. I included a video of the # e99007 for you to take a look at.
