I received an advanced delivery of this amazing product.  I have already used this a lot because I have a dual ball hitch and flipping over to the other ball is super fast and easy - no tools required and it clamps down solid.  Same with my hitch step, it locked down all movement!  100% recommend!

Thats awesome, Gene! I am so happy you love it. Makes us proud since it is our own original etrailer design. :) Thanks for sending in the picture too!



by:

I recently used the eTrailer anti-rattle collar on a long trip and it exceeded my expectations. I appreciated how it eliminated hitch noise during my 1,300-mile journey, even through road grime, snow, salt, and mud. Despite the harsh conditions, the collar stayed secure and still looked great by the end of the trip. The installation was straightforward and super easy, and I loved how convenient it was to switch out accessories without needing tools! Overall, this is a fantastic, hassle-free solution for anyone who tows or regularly switches out hitch accessories.

Hey Kim! Thanks for leaving a review! 1300 miles is certainly a worthy test! Were you mostly on roads or was there any off roading involved too?



by:

The build quality is excellent. Also very easy to use. I have not had the chance to go on a trip as of yet, so I cant' tell of the unit will keep the shaft in place for extended periods. But based on what I have seen I am hopeful. The unit is installed on a 2021 Ford Ranger.

Hey Neighbor. Do you have any upcoming plans for a trip?



by:

I'm impressed with your anti rattle product. It works really great with my bike carrier and I'm really liking not having to use a wrench anymore to stabilize it. I've been clamping my hitch plug with it too.

Thanks, Ray! We are proud of this part and love knowing our neighbors like it too! I really appreciate you taking your time to give us some feedback. And if you ever run into trouble with the part - let us know about that as well! ;)



by:

It seems to work well. Had to use the alternative installation with the tightening knob at the top right rather than at the bottom. After installation, the hitch is solid and does not rattle. One negative is the pin is tighter and harder to get through. I had to hammer the pin in so I could get the lock on it

@Ramsey I talked to our team that designed this and they said that if you insert the pin/lock first and then tighten the anti-rattle, that should alleviate the problem :) Let me know!


by:

I have owned a number of anti-rattle devices. This is very easy to install and adjust. The fact that it can stay attached when you remove the ball hitch saves considerable time. Also, the fact that it takes no tools to tighten and loosen means no extra tools to keep track of. If it works this good over time, I will be happy.



by:

I've had the opportunity to Beta test the early production versions of this anti rattle collar, and I have to say, this thing is awesome! No more busting out the tools to eliminate the chunk - chunk - chunk of the ball mount, cargo carrier, or bike rack bouncing around inside of your trailer hitch. Since this collar semi-permanently attaches to the hitch, it's always there when I switch accessories and in 30 seconds I can eliminate the play between the accessory and the receiver hitch. 100% recommend!



by:

I gave it a 4 star as I have yet it to pull any of my 4 trailers. But am impressed with the design and construction. Will review the function later when spring arrives in Pa.

Didn't fit on my truck, at all. Waited a long time to find out...

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Hitch Anti-Rattle

  • Will the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar e38FV Work w/ Rock Tamer Mud Flaps?
    Yes, it will but you'll need a minimum of 2" between the edge of your hitch receiver and the back of the ball mount face. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar item # e38FV extends out 3/4" from the edge of your hitch receiver, this includes the allen screws. The collar on the Rock Tamers item # ERT00108 attaches to the ball mount and is 1" wide. What you'll want to do is insert your ball mount without the Rock Tamers or a hitch collar installed and measure from the edge of the receiver...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2021 Polestar 2
    Hey Dion, the EcoHitch part # EH84CR is a fit for your 2021 Polestar 2 and a great option so you are off to a solid start. You will need trailer wiring too to control the taillights of your trailer and for that I would go with the # 119250KIT which does not require any splicing into the vehicle's taillight connectors. To reduce noise the etrailer anti-rattle part # e38FV would be a really good option as it will hold the ball mount tight to the hitch opening. We don't have any suspension...

  • Can etrailer Anti-Rattle Device be Used with Weight Distribution
    Hey David, yes you can use the etrailer anti-rattle device part # e38FV with weight distribution systems. Is your system still noisy when it's hooked up? Normally with all of the spring tension there isn't nearly as much movement/noise.

  • Does the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers Have a Weight Limit?
    No, Thomas it does not have any weight limitations. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers item # e38FV attaches directly to the lip of your vehicle's hitch. Doing so allows it to limit the movement of the ball mount or accessory. It does not affect the ability or capacity of your vehicle to pull a trailer. What kind of trailer are you wanting to pull and what vehicle are you planning on using?

  • Does etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV Stop Horizontal and Vertical Movement
    Hey Greg, yes the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV would stop movement vertically and horizontally. The bolt on the bottom pins it vertically but it also holds it with enough friction to prevent side to side movement. Plus the slot for the gusset of the ball mount accomplishes this too.

  • Which Anit-Rattle Clamp Is Best For Electric Bike Rack?
    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 for 2018 Ford F-150 With Cargo Carrier Carrying E-Trike
    Hey Steve! What kind of e-trike do you have? I would get the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers # e38FV over other options. The Blue Ox # BX88224 is pretty similar to what you have now but with an extra U-bolt. It also has a tendency to loosen up over time like others with the same design. Even if the etrailer Anti-Rattle loosened up (I don't expect it to) all you have to do is turn the knob to keep it nice and tight instead of messing with nuts and bolts. Also,...

  • Do Threads of etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV Have Loc Tite
    Hey John, the threads of the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV that you referenced do not have loc tite on them but you wouldn't have to worry about the bolt coming loose since it'll be pretty tight.

  • Can etrailer Anti-Rattle Device be Used with Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution
    Hey Wally, yes the etrailer anti-rattle device part # e38FV will work great with a weight distribution shank like what you have on your Equal-i-zer system. Do you feel a lot of movement with your system? Typically with all of that spring tension you don't see or hear as much movement as you do with a standard ball mount since it puts a lot of tension into the shank which binds it up in the hitch.

  • Will The Wing Nut On The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar e38FV Come Loose Over Time?
    Hey Gary, thanks for reaching out. When using the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV, you will want to check the wing nut every time you tow. Anytime you change accessories, or load/unload you will want to check and make sure it is tight. As long as you do this, you will not have to worry about it coming loose unexpectedly.

  • Does The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar e38FV Work For A 2-1/2" Hitch Receiver?
    Hello Gary, thanks for reaching out. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV is only for a 2" receiver. It will not work with the 2-1/2" hitches. We do hope to make a version for a 2-1/2" hitch in the future, but that is a good ways down the line. If you need an anti-rattle device for a 2-1/2" hitch we do have the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-062 or the Blue Ox Immobilizer # BX88225. Both are U-bolt style ant-rattle clamps. just comment below and let me know if you have any questions...

  • Can etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar Work When Towing Travel Trailer
    Hey Mark, yes you can use the etrailer anti rattle device part # e38FV when towing a travel trailer. It will hold the ball mount that is being used tight to the hitch to eliminate any movement. What travel trailer do you have?

  • Will etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar Fit etrailer Magnetic Reducer Sleeve
    Hi Spike; great question! Unfortunately, the face of the # e28JR is too wide for the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV to fit. What kind of accessory are you trying to use? If it has a hollow shank like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10048B a better solution would be an anti-rattle hitch pin like the # SHP2040-XL.

  • Can The etrailer Anti Rattle Clamp e38FV Be Used With A 3" To 2" Reducer Adapter?
    Good afternoon Nathan, that's a great question! You can use the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers # e38FV with a 3" to 2" reducer adapter like Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 when installed on the 2" section. Keep in mind, this adapter is not a fit for the vehicle's 3" receiver section. I added a photo which highlights the 2" section that this adapter would be compatible with on a 3" to 2" adapter. Usually this anti-rattle collar is used...

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Clamp for a 2-1/2" Hitch w/ a 2" Adapter
    Yes, it will David so long as you're using a 2-1/2" hitch to 2" hitch adapter like item # e53YR. The Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer III item # BX88312 is only designed to be used with a 2-1/2" hitch and shank of 2" hitch adapter. If you are looking for a anti-rattle hitch collar I have two options listed below: 2-1/2" Hitch - B&W Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2-1/2" Hitch Receivers item # BW65FR 2" Hitch - etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers item # e38FV I would be...

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for a Toyota OEM Receiver Hitch w/ No Gap
    Hey Eric, thanks for the picture! The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar item # e38FV is not going to fit but I have one that will. It is the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II item # BX88224. You're receiver doesn't have the necessary gap behind the lip but the Blue Ox one does. The Blue OX item # BX88224 works differently. It attaches to your accessory or ball mount and once tightened down puts pressure on the lip of your receiver to stop the rattling. I have attached a picture below...

  • Can The etrailer Anti-Rattle Clamp Be Used For 2016 Toyota Tundra With Double Wall Receiver Tube?
    Hey Nickolas, that's a good question, and unfortunately the thicker double walled receiver tube on your 2016 Tundra is not going to work with the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitches # e38FV. This is only confirmed to fit standard 2" receivers. In your case, your best bet is to use the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span # SHP2040-XL which is a different style since it is a pin and not a clamp, but it will still get the job done to reduce...

  • Availability of etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar From Local Dealers
    Hey Jim! The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV is still a pre-order right now so if your trip is in the near future it probably won't be available. Once it comes out, you could use our dealer locator I linked below to find a dealer in Palm Springs and order/pick it up from them. Are you from Canada? I'm assuming you are. If nothing else, we also ship to Canada so you could always order it directly from our site and have it sent to your home.

  • Can the etrailer Anti-Rattle Collar Be Used W/ the Weigh Safe Hitch
    Hey Kevin, yes you can absolutely use anti-rattle collar like the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers # e38FV with your Weigh Safe Hitch w/ Built-In Scale for 2" Hitch # WS96ZR. The anti-rattle feature won't impact the built-in scale since the collar will be at the receiver, and not near the scale.

    Hey Jan thanks for all the info it really helps make my job easier! So I went ahead and checked out that bike (cool bike by the way) and it does look like it'll be just fine to be used with the Yakima OnRamp LX Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y88DJ & the anti-rattle collar # e38FV. It looks like your bike comes in right around 62 lbs, has 27 inch diameter tires, and your wheelbase still leaves 7" on what the OnRamp can handle, so you'll be good there as well. This setup is going to work...

  • Can The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar E38FV Be Installed Upside Down?
    Hey there Brock, great question! You can rotate the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV 90 degrees so that the knob is on the right side, but you can't rotate it a complete 180 degrees. This is because the internal gate that tightens against the shank needs to be in one of the upper corners so that the force pushes the shank downward instead of upward. Check out the attached image from the instructions which outlines this. Have fun on your towing adventures; reply below if you have...
