Looking for what you use as your receiver hitch cover.

Right now I have the Transformer one, but sadly due to the sun it’s fading. So I’m on the hunt for a replacement asap...

Not a hitch cover, but my B&W tow n stow is always on the truck. I used a let’s go aero locking hitch pin, it bolts on so there is no rattle from the hitch at all.

Now that’s a sharp set up but because of where I park something like that would kill my wife/ daughters shins daily. I’m too old to go to the big house for wifey abuse lol.

Lol, I hear you on busting your shin, I’ve done that to many times on regular hitches, but thats actually why I switched to the tow n stow, when it’s in the stow position it only sticks out 2” at most.

Here's mine:

It's made out of some kind of powder coated aluminum. It's not just a cap, it slides into the hitch and I keep it from walking off with a locking hitch pin.

Nice, well so far it seems the Mopar one is the quickest and easiest way for now, thank you kindly folks for sharing. :)

Who makes that? I like that better than what I’ve got on mine.

I had a locking hitch pin similar to that on my last truck. I just kept the hitch in the receiver all the time because it's actually saved my bumper a couple of times when people have backed into my hitch. The locking pins are nice to have but be aware that they can corrode. Mine corroded so bad that the lock seized, even though it had the rubber cover. I had to cut the pin off to get the hitch out of the receiver when I traded in the truck.

Word.

I was fortunate to get my locking pin off before it was totally seized. I think it was the mag chloride salt put on the roads for melting snow. That thing really corroded, even though my truck was fine. The chrome plating sure didn't seem to help it.
