Expert Reply:

Sometimes factory-installed (OEM) hitches can have slightly different dimensions and tolerances than the aftermarket products from companies like Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, etc. As long as you are using the correct 2-inch size ball mount in your 2-inch factory hitch you can address your fit concern with an anti-rattle device.

The linked page will show you all such products that will fit your 2-inch hitch. These are offered in both locking and non-locking types.

For a locking anti-rattle device I suggest the Let's Go Aero # 63232 because it includes a wrench for tightening and a harder-to-pick tubular style lock. For a non-locking device I suggest the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II, part # BX88224. Videos for both items are linked to illustrate their features.
