What brand/specs of a trailer hitch do you have?

My wife's Pilot hitch rattles like mad with a very low tongue weight on her drift boat trailer. I use one of those anti-rattle devices on it and it works well.

My bike rake doesn't use a hitch pin, but it has a captive nut on the stinger and you use a bolt through the receiver. Works great, you just need a wrench.

My kayak trailer is so light it doesn't matter and the Airstream has enough of a tongue weight that it doesn't rattle..

I usually slide a couple pennies in between the tubes and the rattles end.....

Okay, first I had a 2018 XLT Expedition Max and now have a 2020 XLT Expedition Max. I have used my pintle hitch on both to tow a 1968 Vietnam era military trailer back and forth between D.C. and Atlanta.

Gas mileage sucks - 10-11 MPG - then I replaced the military axle and wheels w/commercial - now 12-14 MPG. Trailer does NOT have brakes, an M101-A1 (about 1000 lbs empty now down from 1500 lbs).

No problems other than the cost of gas.

I LOVE my 2020 Expedition XLT MAX, just wish it had the push-button tailgate opening.

I have a Tow Smart from Home Depot with a 2 5/16 ball on it. My boat is close to 9,000 full of fuel and I have the XLT, doesn't seem to sag too much considering the weight. First time towing with it and it does a lot better job than the Tahoe I had.

When I need a new one, I will go with a B&W hitch. I know a lot of people who have them and like them. The owner is very supportive of my hometown.

I just got a rhino hitch. They’re really pricey but also really nice. Let’s me have full adjustability up down without having to unhook. Makes getting the prop guard up high enough to back over the curb into my yard easier . And then I can level the trailer to tow without unhooking. https://rhinohitch.com/

Those are nice, they are made local here in Utah. Does it fight tight in the receiver?

I’d say about 2mm of wiggle. I can’t hear it back there but I pull it off when not towing.
