It sure will Jacqueline and welcome back! Our etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar item # e38FV is designed specifically to work with 2" receivers like the one on the Curt item # C27RJ hitch.

Our Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar item # e38FV attaches directly to the lip on the end of the 2" receiver and is designed to limit the movement of your bike rack's shank. This helps prevent noise and wobbling.

What kind of bikes do you have and where do you ride the most? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Good product and concept. It just did not work on a 22 - 26 Toyota Tundra. The welds on the OEM hitch receiver interferes with a proper fit. I’ve notice on the Fords and Chevys there is more room for the proper fit.

@Rick You are absolutely correct Rick. The Toyota Tacoma's and SUV's are starting to use that wider 2" receiver too. It's been a nightmare for anti-rattle devices and hitch pins. Thanks for taking the time to come back and share your experience. I do appreciate it.

The etrailer Anti Rattle Hitch Collar is working for well for me. I have tried a couple of other options I the past, and I think that this newer product is the best. Once installed, this collar requires no wrenches and stays in place on the vehicle. It is very solid and well machined. It fits my F150 factory receiver just fine.
