Question:

I tow a small trailer with 2 reciever hitch, on a Honda Ridgeline with an OEM hitch. I need a faster, easier anti-rattle devise. One like the draw tight would be great, because it stays on and is a cover too. Im using the Roadmaster now and its tedious to install each time.

I have a solution for you, but the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover # 63080 that you referenced will not work for your OEM trailer hitch. The # 63080 is specially designed to fit Draw-Tite 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. We do not have any similar products designed to fit factory OEM trailer hitches.

As long as the ball mount that you use to tow your trailer is hollow, I recommend the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 for you. This threaded hitch pin works to pull the shank of the ball mount tightly against the side of the hitch receiver to remove any play between the hitch and ball mount. I have attached a review video of this anti-rattle hitch pin lock for you.

If the outside span of your Ridgeline's hitch receiver is wider than 2-5/8 inches, you will need to use # SHP2040-XL for a longer hitch pin.

I have also linked a page with all of our anti-rattle devices for 2 inch trailer hitches.
