Hey Rick, great question! The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2.5" Hitch Receivers # e55YV can actually live on your hitch permanently. You do not need to pull it off when swapping accessories or ball mounts. This means it is always ready to go whether you're towing a trailer, hauling bikes, or using any other hitch mounted accessory.
What kind of accessories do you plan on using?

Can I use this on my F-250? It came with a hitch from the factory. Works with my 2.5 and 2 ball mounts right?

I have a couple ball mounts and a cargo carrier I use. This will work well for all of them with that reducer since the cargo carrier is 2". Thanks for getting back to me, look forward to getting mine soon!
