Question:

Re: Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover I understand these silence bike carriers and cargo racks, but will it eliminate knocking when towing a 1200 lb/150lb tongue weight boat and trailer? Thanks

The Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover for 2" Hitch Receivers # 63080 will definitely work when towing to help eliminate the rattle, though it won't be quite as effective as other options.

Just keep in mind that this is designed for 2" Draw-Tite hitch receivers specifically, so if you have a different manufacturer's hitch, I recommend going with the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061.

I have added links to video reviews for you to check out of both the Quiet Hitch and the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer # 63080.

I do have a great option for you, however the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer #63080 isn't a good fit for factory/OEM trailer hitches like what you have on your 2018 Honda Pilot because their collars tend to be a bit too large. The cover…

Yes you are - all 5th wheel hitches are going to require some type of rails in order to be used. So you'd need #DM8552016-71 for your 2006 Dodge Ram.
