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.

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.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 bought this for my 1997 Ford F150 hitch. It was a bit tight going on but works.
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.
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
An excellent addition for trailering! No more clunking when starting, stopping, or turning! Easy to install and move from hitch to hitch. A simple design with fast shipping and superb customer service as always.
This item does a great job reducing vibration for bike racks and cargo carriers. I've not used it for towing. When there is nothing connected to the hitch, I find that the door does not stay closed very well. Also, I typically remove the door as it interferes with unlocking my hitch pin. I'm pleased with the performance of this product.
My tow hitch is everything I’d hope it would be. I saved money installing it myself. It bolted on to my 2020 Passport perfectly and looks very good. I haven’t had a lot of weight towed yet but it has been perfect for my scooter carrier to hold my Honda 150 adv. I highly recommend etrailer for your hitch. You’ll be glad you did
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.
The Draw-Tite hitch silencer and cover has worked very well for us.
I actually purchased two. I was using item on my front and rear hitches. A buddy of mine that installed his and our front hitches liked it so much I gave him one of mine! Very effective for keeping hitch receptacle free of dirt and debris, anti-rattle, as well as aero dynamics specifically on my front hitch.
Nice design. Easy install.
It does not fit..
This works well to keep my bike rack snug, no complaints there. However, when you don't have anything on the hitch the cover plate is always flopping open as the magnet isn't strong enough to keep it closed. Tempted to just pop the cover off at this point and put my ol' Toyota hitch plug back in.
Easy install and video instructions were great. I would recommend these products for anyone wanting to DYI a hitch …save yourself some money and buy these products.
The Draw Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover works perfectly. It's exactly as it was described. I'm I bought it to cover the hole on my hitch and to keep dust and dirt out. I recommend it to anyone.
Great product but tight fit on the factory receiver of my 2022 Ford Bronco.
Hard to slide on to my Draw-Tite hitch but maybe not designed for it. We'll see if it works out. Looks nice and will afford some protection. Also, the price was right.
I tested it out with a hitch to see how it worked. Although I did not trailer anything the silencer did take the play out of the hitch. Not sure why the cover is needed since the silencer does not tighten when thete is no hitch in the receiver; thus, i removed it when not in use.
The box was broken, and the frame got paint damages.
Can’t say enough about eTrailers. As others noted, could not get bolts in. Called support and they talked me thru two options. Pipe brush and WD40 and 40 minutes of patience and bolts worked. Took two of us 10 minutes to mount the hitch. Fit perfectly.
This is a good idea in theory, however it has weak areas. The hinge pin is plastic and may not hold up if bottom of cover comes in contact with the ground when using an angled driveway or ramp. The bottom of cover could easily be destroyed because of how low this hangs on my Draw-Tite hitch receiver.
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.
I like the product. If they could package the product better that would be great. The bag was open and all the contents were in the bottom of the main box.
I installed this and immediately installed a bike rack so didn't even need put the cover on but did attempt it once just for the sake of practice and everything was great!
Silencer does the silencing and anti wobble job fine but when not in use in use the magnet does not keep cover closed going down the road.
Received Item #63080 but didn't receive the pin that holds the door on. I contacted customer service to let them know. I was told that they were going to send me the pin. I'm still waiting. Never received the pin.
Receiver stills rattles. Return postage not worth the cost... Shipping and returning $$
