So I just ordered one of these. Since going from towing with a Suburban full frame to the Durango unibody the hitch rattle noise is terrible coming into the cab. So I found this today and ordered one with free Amazon prime for a month so it's worth a try.

That’s a great idea.. Geeze why didn’t we think of that??
No one will ask “ what was that horrible noise coming from the trailer?”

Everyone doesn't pull there 20 to 30 ft boats with a Cadillac Avalanche

Yeah..I went a bit overkill on the tow rig.

I need on of these but probably wont get one, just because I'm constantly swapping out. I keep a 1.7/8ths, a 2" and 2.5/16ths and use all 3 all the time and they rattle like crazy!

But this is a good find!

Just get a uniball and use the same receiver.

I'm sure he already has one.

After I typed that I was just thinking what's going to get posted after that.

Lol. I'm surprised there aren't more "interpretations" posted.

I must be in the minority. My drawbar really doesn’t rattle. Maybe every once in a while over large undulations (that means bumps—lol) in the road but overall no rattle. Guess I’m lucky

Yea you must have got lucky on a tight receiver and hitch. But you have a full frame truck right? I didn't hear it in my sub.
Is annoying. Some guy said I would get used to it. Not. Of course my wife that doesn't already like the Truck really loves the noise. Not! I know it just gives me another reason to go but another trk.

I do have a full frame SUV so that may be part of it....as I think back though, I needed to raise the ball height when I got the Cobalt, which meant a new drawbar...interestingly enough, the old boat and drawbar did rattle some. I wonder if it's the drawbar manufacturer? My first was Reese (rattled) and the second was Curt---no rattle.

How's the unibody for towing BBP?

Yes every draw bar is diff. I'm not a good person to judge how it tows. I've only towed a few times. Did it work yes. Does my boat push it around some yes I feel it. But to be fair I've only really only towed with a suburban type vehicle. To me you can't beat that style for towing other than a real pickup. Not a Ford
I watched bfun tow the 220 behind his Grand Cherokee to table rock and it just rolled and to me was impressive. The Durango does well. I'll find out more in July when I pull mine there. If not it may stay there and I'll buy a sub down there to tow it back
Also to be fair it's much smaller vehicle. Sheriff loves his durango towing his 250 and says he has no issues.
I can't wait to see what the Grand Wagoneer is gong to be like.
Are you thinking of one.
I wish It was a srt that would be fun.

I can't wait to see it either. Until then here's what it could look like.

Ha! I'd rather have the full Elizabeth Warren edition.
