I got my new Draw Tite class IV receiver installed. It wasn't hard. My cousin and I had it mounted in less than 45 minutes. It came with a free anti rattle cover. The cover looks nice. We'll see how it does. Here's a video on how it works and a few pics.

Thanks guys. Even though we have this Corona nonsense going on it's still almost camping season. Hopefully the campgrounds will open on time. Now that the receiver is on and I have my brake controller installed I'm ready.

Let's go camping!

So @Loudram, your truck did not come with a factory hitch? I like that receiver, looks great!
Thanks, no it didn't come with one. Look right in the middle of this build sheet and you'll see it was deleted as was the spray in bed liner.

I'm with you, but I have major concerns about our camping season this year. In my state campgrounds and bath/shower houses are closed. Most state parks are supposed to open the 2nd weekend in April, but I doubt that's going to happen.

I have faith this will all blow over eventually, but I feel like our spring and possibly summer plans won't happen due to this nonsense. I feel like I'm living in a time warp or something. It's bizarre. The over hyping by the media didnt/isn't helping either. God is good and will see us through this.

Hang in there guys. Stay safe.

Nice, i installed the draw-tite Class V on my '19. Great product, uses good hardware. Make sure you re tighten the bolts after your first pull to make sure everything is still torqued to spec.

Nice accessory. I need one for my Odyssey. The system rattles a lot.
Thanks for posting.

The reviews are not great but they are ok. Good enough that it would be worth a try.

I tow a 8 ft enclosed trailer 3 or 4 times a year behind the van and it rattles like crazy and drives me nuts. I was going to jam a wedge of wood in there or wrap the insert in duct tape but this seemed a better try.

The setup on my truck is snug and it doesn't rattle (or maybe the stereo is louder?).
