Will Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer Help Reduce Rumbling Sound From Trailer to Tow Vehicle

Question:

my new utility trailer is transferring a rumbling sound resonance to the interior of whatever vehicle is towing it. Have you ever heard of this and might a hitch stabilizer be a solution for this? Thanks, your company is my number one source for trailer towing products.

A hitch stabilizer like the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007 is a great place to start with this kind of issue. There are a number of things that can be causing noise like this but if it's consistent between a single trailer and multiple tow vehicles I think starting with the hitch stabilizer and working our way from there is the best course of action.

It would also be worth checking the bolts and welds on your trailer coupler as well as the actual connection from the coupler to the hitch ball to make sure all of that is secure and properly in place.
