Question:

Will this be offered for a 2-1/2inch hitch. Our 2020 F350 would be very happy if it was. Thank you

Hey Randy! The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar item # e38FV does not come in 2-1/2" but I can still make your F-350 happy. A comparable option for a 2-1/2" receiver is the B&W Anti-Rattle Clamp item # BW65FR. This also connects to the lip on the outside of your hitch and tightens down to keep your ball mount from moving around.

I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this clamp set up.

Hey Randy, how did the B&W anti-rattle clamp work out on your F-350’s 2-1/2 inch hitch? Your feedback could really help others looking to cut down on hitch movement.

@JerredH It works fine. We purchased the proper size shank for our hitch and receiver, but wanted to eliminate any movement to prevent distorting the pin holes in the receiver. This device takes care of that nicely, but the user does need to take the time to tighten and loosen the nuts (we remove the hitch at each stop and do not like to leave it on when then trailer is uncoupled). Easy to use and does a good job.
