The only time I've ever heard any of mine rattle is when I'm running around on a rough road with no trailer but the hitch is still in the receiver. At this point ( if it bothers me ) I go into hitch delete mode. I already have too many gadgets in my daily life. H.D. Thoreau was onto something when he said "Simplify,simplify".

Thats a nice hitch. I like the way the anti-slop device is integrated AND its instantly adjustable for various trailer heights. With that hitch I'd think you'd just leave it installed all the time and move the platform up or down as needed. I'm guessing they don't give those away.
