Note: This hitch silencer and cover is not for use on OEM (factory) hitches or on Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Class 5 hitches.
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.

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.I like the way it looks, and it is an extremely noticeable difference in the reduction of rattling and noise. I see what others have said about the magnets being weak, but as I normally have a drawbar or other accessory inserted into the receiver, I doubt it would bother me if that were to fail. It was very easily installed, the hardest part was inserting the plastic hinge pin and getting everything to line up properly without being to see from the top (the receiver end is under the bumper). I would buy this again and/or recommend it to others looking for an inexpensive yet stylish solution.
Wow! What a great experience! I purchased a trailer hitch rattler silencer/stabilizer collar from etrailer.. The website was very user friendly, the pricing was very fair and reasonable and the delivery was extremely swift. I’m new to towing but not to online purchasing. etrailer is a great company to conduct business with and I KNOW I’ll be back again. Go! Buy from them now!!!
Great anti vibration and cover for a 2" hitch. The only downside that it does make alignment harder when inserting the hitch attachments.
I bought the trailer hitch for a bike rack and the hitch silencer to stop the rattle of my rack. I added the wiring harness mainly because it was so simple to install and I might need it in the future. In a nut shell, you had every thing I needed at a fair price and excellent quality. My order was shipped and delivered quickly. The videos on you website are the really the icing on the cake. This was not my first purchase from etrailer and I will always look at your website first when I need something for my vehicles.
Everett R - 11/11/2020
On 2019 Mazda CX-5 Turbo made a great improvement in reducing noise and vibration/rattling when towing a loaded open two-motorcycle aluminum trailer (total weight @ 2,100lbs). My riding buddy shared the driving on 1500 mile tows to and from AZ; without the DrawTite on down southbound leg, with it when returning north. He, too, found the DrawTite a big improvement, he will also purchase one for his Highlander. It's still just a little too loose to earn a full 5-star rating, but the very short receiver tubing length of small SUV's is likely the reason. I suspect the DrawTite's design would have to get much more complex, heavy and expensive to completely take 'all' possible play out of the 'short' receiver tubes.
I guess it works fine. I find it difficult to the trailer ball extension on and lock it into place. I did notice that you now sell a device to put on the hitch extension to line up the hole. Good idea.
THOMAS B - 04/06/2021Hitch was easy to put on DIY. Took 2 people and 2 hrs, the right tools make a difference.
Does what it’s supposed to. I keep it on my Wrangler 24/7 with an extension to get past the spare on the tailgate. I use the hitch for a cargo tray, and Thule bike rack (that also serves as a ski rack).
I have a draw tight hitch, so this is a match to my hitch. This item is a nice cover, but that’s about it! Don’t buy it intending on tightening your hitch to keep it from rattling, because it will not! I tested it on multiple things, towing a dolly, NG!, towing my car behind my RV, NG, I even put it on my hitch mounted luggage carrier, “buzz”, NG! I had to buy a traditional hitch tightener and that did the trick!.
One year after purchasing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Silencer I am still enjoying this product. Excellent cover for the trailer hitch and also works great when I connect my bicycle carrier. Holds the carrier firmly and gives me an extra level of comfort that nothing will come loose. Great Product, well worth the price.
Have used this product with both bike rack and trailers. It helps insure a tight connection. Plus the cover helps keep the inside of the receiver clean.
Great price for a quality product. Fits and looks great, keeps the receiver channel clean and eliminate the slack/wobble when hitch is installed. I use it for my ball hitch and bike/MC carrier. Great.
The Draw-Tite anti-rattle cover was a great addition to my hitch accessories. Now when I use my bike rack or fishing rod holder I no longer have to deal with that annoying banging noise. Great product! Add one to your hitch.
day. Works well even my old receiver bike carrier doesn't flop around since the carrier to fit the receiver has to be loose enough to slide in. That leaves space for movement . This tightens it all and even the trailer noise is less. Just hitch ball noise now. My only ding is the magnet that holds the door closed came unglued and fell off. Glued it back on and it hasn't come off. Nice product.
Just received sharp and on time. It’s a good quality product. Can’t wait to install it.
Installed in seconds and looks awesome! Didn’t get a chance to test it out yet but appears as if it will keep a hitch from rattling.
Joe - 05/02/2021Reduced the trailerhitch rattle immediatly. A much quieter ride without the noise.
This is a nice product to quiet the rattle and keep the assembly looking clean when you don’t have anything plugged into the receiver. It’s worth noting that it’s a bit of a tight fit with the draw tite receiver under a 19-21 rav 4. But it does work fine Big thanks to Ashley E for quickly sending me a replacement after the original got lost in the original shipment.
This serves as a cover for the receiver and a silencer for the hitch. Looks good, survived the car wash, does what it is supposed to do. A cam tightens down against the hitch eliminating the rattle. The only negative is that it is not compatible with bike racks that use the hitch. It does not allow them to use the hole that braces the hitch.
I purchased Item #76128 Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver and Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover Item #63080 which will be used primarily for a Yakima hitch mount bike rack on our 2017 CRV AWD Touring. The hitch and cover were well packaged and arrived in great shape. Your website, including product descriptions, videos and installation instructions were excellent and gave me the confidence that the installation would go smoothly. I was able to install the hitch receiver by myself. After lowering and securely suspending the CRV exhaust assembly I placed the hitch mounting brackets on top of the mufflers while putting a strap through the back of the hitch receiver and the CRV to hook. I was then able to use a jack to raise the hitch into place and loosely secure the bolts on the passenger side. The opposite side was a breeze. The hardest part was tightening/torqueing the bolts on the passenger side due to the cramped quarters. Your fish wires are genius! The Draw-Tite Hitch cover & silencer was very easy to install and gives the hitch a very clean appearance.
This product DOES NOT WORK ON ALL 2" HITCH RECEIVERS I'm usually a careful buyer, reading in detail the info provided by the manufacturer/distributor. But this one I missed, twice actually. I purchased a Curt 2" hitch from etrailer, one for my 2011 Honda Pilot and another for my 2016 Subaru Forester, both of these will not accept the Draw-Tite hitch cover product efficiently. You can get it on with some struggle, but it is also a struggle to put the receiver into it, which is very frustrating. I called etrailer, talked to a Customer Service person who told me that this Draw-Tite silencer/cover is made to fit the Draw-Tite trailer hitch, so I am out some money with trying to use this product, not a good experience.
Fills the hitch opening and looks pretty cool. If there was a criticism, it would be that the hinge pin to let you open it to the left for hitch insertion, should probably be from the top down instead of the bottom up--thinking gravity?
Doesn’t fit a Ford F-150 hitch !!!!!!!!!
Sierra K - 06/03/2021I really liked the idea of this product but unfortunately the shape of the 2” trailer hitch we have did not allow the silencer to fit correctly. I was unable to use it. There is a raised weld around the end of the hitch receiver. What happens is the ridge prevents the silver part of the silencer form closing evenly around the hitch
It did a great job (until my granddaughter backed into a tree and broke it). Not only does it keep the hitch from rattling it keeps the dirt and mud out. My neighbor was complaining about her trailer making so much noise so I recommended this to her. Only problem I have is that it will only fit factory installed hitches. My old F150 has a non-factory hitch and the silencer will not fit because the metal around the mouth of the receiver is too thick.
