Hi:

I recently picked up my new CRD. I orderd it with the factory tow package.

Yesterday, I installed the ball mount I had used on a previous vehicle and noticed that it fits extremely loose and therefore rattles...

Has anyone else had this problem? Any good solutions?

The MOPAR hitch I have must be metric, because the two inch hitch rattles real bad when the utility trailer is empty.

I have this little gaget from Cabela's. It works fine. Just mount it upside down due to limited bumper clearance.
