Yes, the factory hitch seems/sounds like it’s integral to the frame, transmitting a lot of noise. That’s nice in one respect, it’s well attached !
I ordered the hitch tightener, so we’ll see how that plays.
Polychromatic....I also have noticed the noisy hitches. Had the optional BMW tow pack on my F15 and I ordered my G05 with to tow my enclosed MC trailer. The sloppy fit kind of comes with the territory....not all of my hitches (my past trucks included here) have been sloppy but not all have been a good fit either.

I am sure you've seen these cushioned hitches but they seem to help with noise abatement....
