Roadmaster Hitch Anti-Rattle - RM-062
- Fits 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
- Accessory Anti-Rattle
- Towing Anti-Rattle
- Clamp Style
- Non-Locking Anti-Rattle
- Roadmaster
- Universal
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:
- Hitch immobilizer keeps hitch-mounted accessories stable and secure
- Helps to eliminate rattle and sway within your hitch receiver
- Works with ball mounts, tow bars, and hitch-mounted accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers
- Bolt-on installation is quick and easy
- Slide over the shank of your hitch-mounted accessory
- Hook the U-bolt around the collar of your hitch receiver
- Made in the USA
Specs:
- Application: most 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" trailer hitch receivers
- Hitch receiver must have a ring or collar around it for Quiet Hitch to attach
- Maximum inside height: 3-9/16"
- Inside width: 4-3/16"
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
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.
If you are going to use the Quiet Hitch with a weight distribution system, the setup will be opposite. Position the U-bolt around the top of the hitch receiver and place the bar on the bottom of the weight distribution shank. As you tighten the nuts on the Quiet Hitch, the shank will be pulled up towards the top of the receiver to help balance the downward force that is placed on the hitch from the weight distribution system.
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.

After trying a few others, this works great if you have a 2 1/2 inch receiver with a reducer to 2inch for a 2 inch hitch. Draws tight and is super heavy duty.

Definitely beefier than expected. Kinda surprised that the nuts are SAE instead of metric. It’s not in the specs but the nuts are 1/2-13, which tells you what size die you may need. The only complaint I have is the u-bolt threads were buggered up slightly but a quick pass with the die cleans them up. Elongating the crossbar holes would solve that issue. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase and would buy it again. etrailer is always a pleasure doing business with.

Took 5 minutes to hook up! Jumped in and pulled my little trailer without all the racket. I read where a person suggested a little shorter length on the bolts which makes sense now, but it works like a charm. Thanks etrailer.

I had a load of noise from my hitch when towing, the shank tipping up and down as we traveled down the road. This solves the vertical movement and nearly eliminates that hitch noise. Still working on the lateral movement. Remember to check the bolts for proper torque every few months, they can, and do, loosen overtime. We never remove our hitch, so removing and reinstall has not been an issue.

Great product. I have 2 suggestions for improvement: 1. All trailer hitches I've seen are black - both the receiver and the hitch. Please make this product black. The first thing I did with mine was had it powder coated black because painting it will just scratch off. 2. Shorten the length of the bolts just a little, There is over 1" of excess bolt on each side. You could save money in materials by shortening the bolts.

I love the product. The only recommendation that I have is that I would offer it in a Black Powder Coat Finish - that’s what I did to mine.

This is a really great product, I only wish the u-bolt was ridiculously thicker. For the majority of applications, this product will work perfectly.
4 stars for the product and 5 for etrailers customer service. etrailer was great about putting a hold on my order and notifying me because I bought a 2 1/2” anti-rattle clamp and a 2” receiver mount. I called them and told them the items were not going to be used together and my order was at my front door in less than a week.

I have mixed emotions about this item. I have a 3/4 ton truck with a 2-1/2 inch receiver and an adapter to change it to a 2 inch receiver. I generally carry a duel dirt bike carrier with it and there is a lot of slop. The anti rattle device didn’t seem to work very well with this application. There was just too much weight on the hitch for left to right wobble and if the truck bounced a little, so would the bike carrier with bikes on it. The u-shaped part of the bracket bent a little as I anticipated, even though it is thick, but the aluminum cross bar was very strong. I welded some metal shims to the dirt bike carrier and the 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch adapter to eliminate most of the slop and it seems to work much better. It works very well with regular light duty towing. Overall the product is great for lighter duty applications but not heavy duty dirt bike carriers.

Set it up per the instructions and torque to specs, arrived at campsite and unhitched the trailer, and it was loose. Locknuts still tight, but the unit flopped around. Went ahead and tighten the bolts again, ignoring the torque spec, when I got home and unhitched it was loose again. Not impressed by this product, and would not ever buy again.

This Road Master Quiet Hitch does require a collar or ring on your hitch opening to have a surface to attach to. If you do not have a hitch receiver with a collar the Roadmaster quiet hitch will not stay attached.

I used a hitch extension, so I needed two RM-062. Easy to install. Completely seizes the extension and the hitch. No rattle at all. Secondary lock nut works well. Shipped on time. Priced right. etrailer great to deal with. Downside, the recommended torque setting is too much.
Andrew

I bough5 several for multiple vehicles. I tightened the first to recommenced torque setting, which I believe is too tight. As predicted when I took that one off the threads were ruined. The others were OK. Use a good lube when tightening the S.S. parts. The produce works well. ETrailer did a great job.

Really like this product. After trying others that just did not do the job I was very happy that I found this Roadmaster Quiet Hitch. I purchased from etrailer both the 2" for my SUV and the 2-1/2" for my 2500 truck with a Class V hitch. They work GREAT!

Works well, but on a Ram 2500 with the OEM hitch mount you have to be a little innovative. Neither end will fit between the hitch mount and the bumper. You have to run the U-bolt from the bottom through the safety chain bracket and put the bar on the top. You cannot use both nuts, nor can you put a lock nut under the flanged nut, but I used some loctite and haven't had any problems yet.

I had a Quiet Hitch for my 01 Dodge and it worked great. When I upgraded to my 2014 it had a 2-1/2in receiver. I purchased the larger Quiet Hitch and am very happy with it. It does everything the product info says and then some. Great product and easy to install. Would recommend it to anyone who pulls a trailer.

Large for 2015 SD Ford 2.5" hitch but still steadies bike rack and hitch mounted mud flaps well. A bit of work/time tightening/loosening to take on/off. You could probably make one cheaper. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to eliminate rocking hitch play/noise.

- 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...

It's designed to fit 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" trailer hitches. The vertical part is 2" wide and works with most weight distribution systems. I have linked a dimensional diagram below so you can see the rest of the measurements on the Curt item # C17132. What vehicle and kind of weight distribution system does your customer have?

view full answer... - Anti-Rattle That Fits 2026 Ram 2500 Factory HitchHey Richard! Your 2026 Ram 2500 doesn't have a lot of space around the factory hitch so the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e55YV you were looking at doesn't have enough room for installation. What I recommend instead is the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062. It isn't quite as convenient, but it will work with that hitch design for your 2-1/2" ball mounts and accessories. What are you towing/hauling with your Ram?
view full answer... - Is B&W Anti-Rattle Clamp Compatible With Andersen Weight Distribution HitchHey Markell! The B&W Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2-1/2" Hitch Receivers # BW65FR is not compatible with any weight distribution hitch so it can't be used with the Andersen. With that gusset welded on the shank I recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062 instead. This doesn't have a weight distribution restriction and will be compatible with the design of the Andersen. What kind of trailer are you towing?
view full answer... - Does etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar Work With Weight DistributionHey Greg! The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2.5" Hitch Receivers # e55YV is not compatible with a weight distribution hitch. This is really the only restriction for our anti-rattle. If you need an anti-rattle for a weight distribution setup, I recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062 instead. What are you towing?
view full answer... - Is There a 3" to 2" Reducer Available for a 2021 Ford F-350?We definitely have a couple options for you. I do not suggest using multiple reducers with weight distribution, so the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 will adapt your 3 inch receiver to a 2 inch without the need of one in between them. I do suggest using an anti rattle device when using a reducer with a weight distribution system, however, and the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer # BLU85QR is designed to fit 3 inch hitches and will keep everything nice and secure...
view full answer... - Can The Extended Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank Be Used With a 2-1/2" To 2" Reducer?Yes, you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 with a Reducer Sleeve # 325-GH-007 on your 2022 Ram 2500. I do highly recommend using a Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-062 to remove the excess play from the receiver to the hitch. Having the reducer does create more play than a single ball mount.

- Can the Thule Epos Be Used With a 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 W/ a 2.5" Receiver Hey Rich, yes you can use the Thule Epos Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH99XE with your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500, you're just going to have to use a hitch reducer # BWRHXA2182. This will reduce your 2.5" receiver to a 2" so the bike rack will fit. To make sure everything is nice and snug, I'd recommend also adding in the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062 as well.

If you have an immediate need for one, the best option right now is the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062. What are you towing/carrying?

If it is a 2" then you can use the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers # e38FV. If it is a 2-1/2" receiver we don't have a version that will fit at this time so you would have to use a different design like the # RM-062

Yes, the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch can be used with a B&W Tow & Stow Dual Ball Pintle Hitch, as long as your hitch receiver has a collar around the receiver opening for the Quiet Hitch to clamp onto.

If it's a sleeve that just slides in and the pin goes through the same hole in the sleeve as the accessory, the bike rack in this case, it will not fit. I couldn't find a better way to word this, but basically the same pin holds the reducer sleeve and the bike rack. I think that makes sense? Let me know if it doesn't. The pin that comes with the Yakima HangTight Vertical Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting # Y59GR is too short...

The XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL is NOT compatible with the Weigh Safe Hitch w/ Built-In Scale # WS68RR. The receiver lock requires a hollow shank and the shank of the Weigh Safe ball mount is solid, so there would be no way to use the lock. You will want to use the receiver lock that comes with the ball mount. If you wish to add an anti-rattle device, the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062 is what...

The only way you will have an anti-rattle hitch pin for a solid shank is if it is specifically designed for that accessory. The etrailer D-Shape Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin # e43JR you were looking at only works with our Benton bike racks and accessories that take a 5/8" D-shape pin. Is this for your 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser? If you have a factory hitch on there it has that double walled design, so a standard 2" anti-rattle isn't going to work. You would need to use something...

With the set screws holding the shank in place, and then the anti-rattle hitch pin tightened down, there should be little to no movement. I would try reinstalling it just to make sure everything is properly secured. If you still have movement I would go ahead and add in an anti-rattle device like # RM-062.

The best option and highest quality is from Roadmaster, with the correct one depending on the size of your hitch receiver: - 2" Trailer Hitch: Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 - 2-1/2" Trailer Hitch: Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-062

- Does The Weigh Safe 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount Rattle When In Use?The hitch balls of the Weigh Safe 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount # LTB10-25 have slight play but would not be the cause of a noticeable rattling noise. The most common rattle would be not using an anti-rattle device to keep the hitch from moving in your trailer hitch receiver. Using an anti-Rattle device like the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062 would be a great option to eliminate rattling noise. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

I have a solution for you but the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer for 3" Hitches item # BLU85QR won't work on your 2-1/2" receiver. I highly recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches item # RM-062. This has a similar set up where you will be able to tighten it in both the upward and downward directions. It is also the more cost effective option between the two. I have linked a diagram below that shows the dimensions.

We have now had the anti-rattle bracket for a year, used with two different hitches. It keeps the hitch solidly in the receiver, top-to-bottom. Left-to-right, not so much. Still, it reduces the amount of rattle and shift significantly. To reduce e the LR shifts, shimmer the receiver with a piece of aluminum can.
