1. A hitch vibration dampener assembly, comprising:
a vehicle hitch platform having a shank tube portion configured for telescoped engagement with a receiver tube attached to a vehicle, wherein the vehicle hitch platform has a base portion opposite the shank tube portion, wherein the base portion includes a pair of opposed planar side surfaces and an abutment portion including a planar end;
at least one through hole disposed between the opposed side surfaces;
a tow mount member having a receiver portion configured for coupling at least one tow accessory, and an integral channel portion with opposed flanges and a recessed back portion, wherein the integral channel portion is configured for fitted correspondence with the abutment portion;
at least one pair of side holes disposed in the opposed flanges, wherein the side holes are in aligned pairs;
a vibration dampener material affixed to at least a portion of the channel portion, such that the vibration dampener material and the tow mount member move in tandem; and
at least one locking member configured for coupling the through hole of the base portion between the aligned side holes of the channel portion such that coupled engagement of the at least one locking member with the side holes compresses the vibration dampener material upon a corresponding portion of the abutment portion of the base portion of the vehicle hitch platform to thereby secure the tow mount member in squared alignment within the channel portion.
