Trailer hitch cover

[Kevin C]

What are you guys using for a trailer hitch cover?

I'm trying to decide what to do, and would love to see some pics and options that people have done so far.

I would but lost mine in the car wash, lol I had it since my 09. Simple black rubber with a rams head on it.

These used to be standard. Sad how everything becomes an extra option now.

Kept it simple. Excuse the water spots, had a little shower come thru the area today. A few bucks and its rubber, snug push in pull out simple but affective.

I have this one in my current truck, but it's starting to flake/peel, so I need to find a better one for the new truck when it gets here (which should be soon!).

Isn't Amazon amazing, Ordered yesterday at 4:30 pm EST. Arrived today free shipping at 11:00 am. I feel sorry for the small buiness in this country. I try to stay local when I can. Seriously how can you compete? I was in buiness foe myself for over thirty years I can relate.

Why not just use an actual hitch? If someone rear ended me, it's more damage to their auto lol!

Doesn’t anyone actually tow trailers with their trucks anymore? Never understood a receiver plug.

Just looks. I tow a boat often but in-between if I could find a cool one for my now lousy but Super Bowl Champion Eagles, I’d probably buy it.

Actually, we buy out trucks to make people THINK we tow and haul stuff.

Seriously, I have two reasons. Since I don't tow all the time, I remove the ball and hitch to reduce weight (I keep it with the trailer) and 2) When backing up in a tight "city" parking spot, I don't worry about hitting someone's bumper with 10" of hitch.

As for the hitch cover, it gives the truck a cleaner look and, on the dirt road we live on, it keeps mud from accumulating in the receiver (how it gets there, I will never know--maybe the mud "jumps" into the receiver hitch?).

That's the one I have also and it fits and looks great.

Just trying to bring this thread back to life
Anybody want to show off their fancy new hitch cover???
I am impatiently waiting the arrival of my new truck, and I'm convinced that ordering a new hitch cover will ease the wait

 

[LaxDfns15]

I just keep a D ring shackle like 19Jake. Keep my 2" hitch in one of the storage boxes.
