Anti-Rattle Device Similar to Draw Tite QSP that Can Be Used on Ford Hitch

Question

Question:

Is there another option like the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover for 2 Hitch Receivers Item # 63080 for a Ford F-150 factory hitch? I like that this clamp is not metal to cause any rust etc, but saw this only works with certain hitches. Is there another option for me that would work?

While there are portions of the Draw Tite QSP part # 63080 that are plastic the mechanism that removes the rattle is actually made of metal as plastic would not be strong enough to hold the hitch accessory tight enough.

This is supposed to be only used on Draw Tite hitches so for your factory Ford hitch the most similar option that would fit is the Brophy Stabilizer part # RHSB.
