This silencer applies tension to your 2" Draw-Tite hitch receiver and ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory to help eliminate rattle and movement in your setup. Hinged door acts as a hitch cover to keep your empty receiver clean.

Notes:
The QSP trailer hitch silencer is the perfect accessory for your 2" x 2" Draw-Tite hitch. It enhances your towing experience by helping to reduce the free play that exists between your trailer hitch receiver and your ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory. By adding the QSP to your setup, you can stabilize your hitch-mounted accessory as it sits in the receiver to eliminate noisy rattle, jarring, vibrations, and sway that might otherwise cause damage to your hitch or equipment.
Installing the QSP silencer and cover is easy. Slide the QSP bracket over the collar of your hitch receiver. Then attach the cover to the bracket with the included hinge pin.
To use the QSP, open the cover and raise the lever. Then insert your accessory or towing equipment into your hitch receiver and secure it with a pin and clip (sold separately). Finally, lower the lever to tighten the QSP around your receiver and the shank of your accessory or towing equipment.
When you're not using your receiver, the attached cover helps to keep out grime and works to deter rust. This hinged cover proudly displays the well-known Draw-Tite name on the back of your vehicle. Magnets in the cover and on the bracket help to keep the cover closed.

Hinged door acts as a hitch cover to keep your empty receiver clean.etrailer! Is a life saver! First I looked around to get a a hitch installed on my 2023 Mazda Cx9. To have it done by a local installer the prices were somewhat outrageous. I’ve installed a hitch on a previous vehicle, so once I found etrailer and the prices were very reasonable. I installed it with no problems, just followed their videos which made it easy!
I am just waiting on the back order of the wire harness to come in and shipped to me! One other great thing about the etrailer staff…I also ordered a anti rattle silencer! When the box arrived via UPS both ends of the hitch were sticking out of the box…when I opened the box the anti rattle silencer was not in the bag it was shipped in . Looks like UPS through it back in the torn box but didn’t place the pin needed to use the silencer. I wrote etrailer about the missing piece along with pictures. And they corrected my problem. So I highly recommend etrailer for your trailering needs!
Thanks etrailer
This hitch Silencer came with the hitch itself,but the pin that holds the door onto the assembly was missing. Contacted customer service and received one ASAP. Great great service!

After a year, everything is still working as expected! I would buy again!
the silencer works fine for the hitches I could get it on but the two of my receivers I couldn't get it to slide on. I prefer the one with the U bolt design with nuts that you tighten from below. easier to install and much more effective as well.

Easy to install and will save you so much rattling, especially those empty trailer runs. So good I bought one for each car

I would have given it 5 start but for the fact that the retaining pin was made of plastic. Easily solved: I bought a 4" stainless steel 1/4-20 bolt and locking nut for $2. Even so, the entire cost was well under other like items whose quality is probably inferior. It fit my hitch receiver well, although very tight. No problem, in fact, that was a good thing: a little silicone spray on the contacting parts and drove it in with a mallet. No more rattles!

I installed it, it works as expected, so I haven’t had to think about it, which is exactly what I want out of an item like this.

When I first opened the hitch cover, the little magnet (that is supposed to hold the cover closed) immediately fell out. After gluing the magnet back on, the hitch cover fit nicely, and the magnetic closure worked. However, this hitch cover does not work with a hitch mounted bicycle rack that has its own integrated hitch pin, as shown in the attached photo. The integrated hitch pin prevents the lever on the right-hand side from closing and tightening the hitch cover. Seems like a decent product for use only with a hitch that uses a separate hitch pin and clip.

I will have customer service reach out to you about the magnet. However, it does look like you have a Thule bike rack with the integrated anti-rattle hitch pin. You will not need both the draw-tite QSP and the bike rack anti-rattle at the same time.

Since I only use my hitch with my bicycle rack, I do not use the hitch cover.
I really only use this hitch for my Thule bike rack. It works grate for that! It is strong enough that I can jack up the rear of the minivan and not cause any damage. No rust yet after 20k miles in Western NY.
As usual, great quality and great customer service and great shipping speed! Great product—two 72 year old women installed it on the front of our motorhome before a trip to Alaska. Wish we’d taken spares with us because we could have SOLD THEM all along the way. LOL.
I had no idea how this would attach to the receiver, but it is much better than expected. There is metal inside of the back part of this cover and a flip-lever so you can slide it on and attach it. Nicely made.

Its working fine as well as the hitch I purchased. Around the time I bought this, I had purchased an old Walker Bay 10 to use in a small lake. I didnt use it much. Last year wasnt great for eyesite, so I dont really drive anymore. My wife and I occasionally use the Honda Pilot on which this is mounted. The hitch is quest under almost all circumstances. Hopefully at some point this year I will be able to take the boat out or maybe get an easier boat to use Im 70. But the items I bought from eTrailer are great.
Did the job as advertised. I have a casket cargo carrier on my car and when it isn't loaded it rattles. This item fixed that. I did choose to put in a wood shim under it. The issue is simple physics. The hitch has an X and a Y axis. A hitch lock can lock one or the other. It did a great job taking away the slack and rattle on the X (side to side) axis. A wood shim silenced the Y (up and down) axis. Recommend this for everybody with a hitch.
Unfortunately my hitch was not a Draw-Tite brand. I was not able to use the cover.

Most covers are universal. However, for this particular one, it is only designed to fit on Draw-Tite hitches. If you are wanting an anti-rattle lock, you could always use part # C27UR.
Actually it didn't fit on my Toyota Tacoma 2016 model. It was to tight and I tried to baby it on with rubber mallet...It would of been a nice add on to my truck...

Arturo, was the hitch on your Tacoma, the factory hitch? This hitch Silencer is meant to be used with after market Draw Tite hitches. The lip ring on a factory hitch does not allow for a good fit. I recommend taking a look at part # RM-061 for an anti rattle option.
I like this thing. Reduces the play in the hitch receiver. Less noise on bumps. Also gives a more finished look to the receiver.
I love this device. I use it for my hitch mounted ebike carrier. The rack plus the bikes is pretty heavy and this hitch silencer gives me the peace of mind that the rack won't rattle too much. Very solid!
Since I don't leave the rack on all the time, this piece makes it so much easier to take it on and off. The other kind of anti-rattle hook up was a heavy metal plate that I had to bolt on each time I needed to use it and same to take it off. Here I just flip the lever and I'm good to go.
Also since it stays on the hitch all the time it makes a nice cover.
While it does help reduce rattling and movement, the tightening lever seems to make the item sit cockeyed when tightened. This makes it somewhat tricky to feed the hitch or whatever, into the receiver and align the holes. Not a huge negative, but something to be aware of. Of course, it is hard to beat for the price. One more minor point, I received it without the pin to attach the dust cover, when informed, etrailer sent a new item out right away, so thumbs up for customer service.

It does help with the extraneous movement and rattle, but it isnt going to be a complete cure...tbh, nothing is. I use it with a hitch extender and dont keep it on all the time since I have the Weather Tech Bump Step that goes there. I never even bothered to put the little door on it either. Its okay, I would buy it again to use with a hitch extender, but not for anything else.
I really like this thing. Always on so won't miss place it. When hitch is in it stops the wobble. Kept closed when no hitch in by a magnet.
Works as expected, fits on my factory hitch, looks great on my vehicle! And the bonus is exceptional customer service from etrailer.

Fantastic product. I have since bought a new SUV, & have therefore ordered another hitch cover from etrailer! I think that says it all.

This is my fourth hitch from E-Trailer, inlcuding the one for my daughter, and their hitches are all perfect fits. Right accessories too, and also fabulous are their youtube how-to videos.
Website needs to be more specific that it only works as described/fits Draw-Tite 2" recievers.
A handy device dirt cover and anti-rattle all in one!

If you have a trailer with a lite tongue this is your noise and buck cure!
Excellent service and quick shipping to Canada. Would definitely purchase from etrailer in the future.
It doesn’t fit with the e-bike rack I bought at the same time elsewhere. So I can’t really judge if it works or not. But it doesn’t work at all for me.
Love the product and figured it would fit my Draw-tite hitch I purchased from etrailer and installed on my 2013 Ford Explorer XLT. it does not fit properly. I believe a weld on the top lip of the receiver is stopping it from sitting properly. Very very tough to get on and then once on it doesn’t sit flush on the receiver and I can’t get the hitch ball bathe in. Feeling disappointed. Is there a resolution? Emailed Matthew M with info and pictures but have not gotten any response yet. Please advise.

I contacted the manufacturer and the problem is that the welds for the safety chain bracket and the collar meet at the same place and does not leave a gap for the hitch cover to sit. This is a very odd application, but there is no defective products, just a compatibility issue with this specific hitch. Customer Service will contact you.
Satisfied with my purchase. No longer have to put my hitch cover in and out. Just flip it open and put the ball mount in. Functional and looks good!
This cover is great. It completely prevented any rattling at the connection point. It also keeps your hitch reciver cleaner and looking sharper when you're not towing. Also prevents you from smashing up the hitch receiver, which aids in preventing any rusting. We towed a 6'x12' trailer that weighed almost 6000 lbs packed, from PA to FL with zero noise or rattling the entire trip, thanks to this cover/silencer. Great product for the money.
A very good option to cut down on rattle. This is a durable product that is fairly simple to install. My only complaint is the magnet to keep cover closed when not towing should be stronger. I am happy with the purchase and it looks like it will be useable for years.

So far used it once for a trailer haul of 600+ miles! No rattle at all! I had to keep looking in the rear view mirror to make sure trailer was still there.
