Does etrailer Anti Rattle Fit GM Trucks with Multipro Tailgate

Question

Question:

Anti rattle hitch, how thick is it as opposed to coming out from the end of my receiver? I have a GMC multi gate and it seems like about 3/4 of an inch clearance when the gate is down before hitting the hitch receiver.

Hey J H, the thickness of the etrailer anti rattle device part # e38FV is right at about 3/4 inches in width from where it attaches to the hitch opening. We've had no issues fitting this on trucks with the multipro tailgate though as we have found there to be quite a bit more clearance like what you can see in the attached picture.

Good afternoon Stephany, I'm sorry you had that less-than-stellar experience with the pin style anti-rattle device. Normally that setup works pretty well, but in some extreme towing situations, I definitely think the clamp style is better at…
