Wow. Talk about a difference. That rattling is a big deal for many that tow lighter trailers and equipment around. Adding this to my list now. Thanks for sharing the comparison!

Been using the bolt and nut type pin for many years, much simpler and more affective.

I got a anti rattle clamp for $20, the one with a U shaped bolt with a plate with a slight bend in it, I can use it on every kind of hitch both 1.25" and 2", including a bike rack or cargo basket. It literally does not rattle at all, unlike yours where it still rattles a little bit and you're limited to a tow ball hitch.

Your first problem is not the hitch, but the receiver is worn out, and the Forerunner and Santa Fe that you're pulling trailers with. Second problem is the trailer has no tongue weight. But seriously, that is a great hitch and review. I might just get one myself. I like the locking pins.

Hi Dave. Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate it. I could see your first argument as a possibility had this only be happening in the 4Runner (hitch is only 4-5 years old though) however on the Santa Fe, the hitch is only 2 years old and isn't used very much at all. For your second argument, you are correct, when with lighter trailers, this happens. Pretty common sense, however there are times when you do tow something that is light. For example, to save money we towed an empty uhaul trailer for 13 hours. Heard that rattling the entire way. When we tow our 16 ft., all steel trailer, no noise. Glad you enjoyed the review overall. Cheers!

The only thing i see that would annoy me would be having to leave the key in to adjust it. The key would go on my keyfob and that would be inconvenient to spin around.

Hi Lightwiz. Thanks for watching and sharing. We appreciate it. You make a valid point. Something I didn't think about as I keep my trailer keys on a several key ring since it also has my trailer lock on it. Certainly 1 item for shoppers to think about. Cheers!

my way is a little cheaper drill a hole in bottom or side of receiver weld a nut over the hole put your bolt in and tighten have 60+ years on the farm this has always worked and has never caused a problem

Hi bobrowe. Thanks for watching and sharing. We appreciate it. I can certainly see how that would be a cheaper hack with the same result for farm use. For those that don't have a welder or access to one, that might be a little more difficult to make work. Just something to think about. Cheers!
@bobrowe32733 ай бұрын
i totally agree for this to work you do have to have a welder, down side to this approach. not something most people have in their garage unless you are on the farm. where i disagree is that this is not only for farm use . i added that to make the point if it will hold up for 60 years of farm work it's going to work for anything i use the same thing with my boat and motorcycle trailers what some people call a hack a farmer will call innovation.

While rattle can be an issue, proper hitch height largely eliminates this along with having enough hitch weight. Youre currently set with the tounge far too high on that little trailer with it unloaded so the balance point has it rocking back. The fact this over complicated hitch is still moving around with just your hands and even more with zero hitch weight means nothing was solved. Nice ad though...
