First Tow With the RTX

I finally hit the 1000 mile mark and decided it was time to tow my jetski home so I can get her ready for the summer. Towing was a breeze the RL didn't even know it was back there. They only negative thing that I can say is that the OEM hitch and receiver seems a bit sloppy. When going over bumps in the road I would hear a lot of rattle in the receiver. My dad told me that it was probably not enough tongue weight to keep down pressure on the hitch, and I should adjust my jetski on the trailer. I was searching last night and I saw someone posted about the hitch vise to eliminate the rattle. Can anyone give me some insight on this? I personally do not mind the occasional rattle but my wife was having a fit she thought the trailer was going to case me to wreck or fall off the truck. I assured her that it was not but that was not good enough for her LOL. So I figured I would post up my first time towing and see if I could get some ideas to try to eliminate the rattles.
