QuietRide Tightening Ball Mount and Lock

Towing a trailer in stop and go traffic ranks as one of our least favorite things to do. The clank of the ball mount in the receiver is annoying. Beyond the tedium of hearing the noise, having the load repeatedly go slack and then tight stresses your tow vehicle’s drive train. Softride’s QuietRide is a ball mount that tightens in place using a threaded hitch pin and a nut fixed inside the mount. The mount is pulled into the corner of the receiver by the threaded pin and the company’s “gold wedge.” With the ball mount held tightly in place, the noise and slack are eliminated.
