Starting to look into hitches for the Rivian for springtime. Mostly to add them to my Christmas list for the wife :D

When I moved to the Q7 from the Sierra, the Unibody structure of the Audi resonated every single "bonk" of the hitch into the cabin. I solved it by adding a threaded hitch pin to the assembly. Super quite from then on. I have NO IDEA how the Rivians structure will react to that same set of circumstances, AND I wanted to get an adjustable hitch, as I'm not sure if I'll always be towing at the same ride height, or if I'll have this trailer as long as I have the Rivian. SO, I started googling and found this


Looks like what I'm in the market for. Adjustable height ball mount with anti-rattle features. Anyone used this brand? Any thoughts on it in general?
 
I don't have any specific experience with their hitches, but Fastway make a lot of good quality products for the towing industry. Namely hitch and coupler locks. I've actually contemplated their scale hitch, but I love my B&W Tow and Stow also. I have a hard time believing it wouldn't be a good quality hitch.
 
May be a bit different than what you're looking for but I bought one of these to use with my adjustable hitch and the annoying rattles went away.

I used one of those on the Audi for about 3 trips. Didn't like the time and effort to install compared to the threaded hitch pin. It did work as advertised to eliminate the "clunk" through the receiver assembly though. Can't fault it for not working, I just didn't like how it installed/removed.
