Default What's everyone got for hitch covers

I'm shopping for a hitch cover and don't think I want to go with the Ford or F150 logo. So just wondering what you guys and gals have.

Hours turned into days, days turned into weeks. Yet we still have this hitch ball ready to haul it all. I am still worried sick but I am sure I will get a chance to use it.

Are you driving a stang or a f150? Just curious.

I have both, I have a 65 in the garage I'm tearing apart and the 92 in my avatar. The f150 will tow the 65 once I'm ready to get it media blasted

I have a plastic insert, with a light-up Ford logo that plugs into the flat 4-wire connector. There is a 1" foam gasket that will help keep moisture and such out of the receiver whilst I am not towing.

A word of caution to those that leave the draw-bar in for a long time- it may rust into place and its a bear to remove if you have too. As well, do not try to paint any rusties inside that receiver as it adds width/height to this receiver making it tough to seat the draw bar later.

Tough to see, but here is a picture below. I did see on Youtube this "flapping fish" cover. That was funny.

Oh- and this is a classic:

Put a towball on it! Think about it, it sticks out from the truck and is solid steel. Gives a nice buffer from some car rear-ending you. Your tow ball takes a scratch and the guys car gets screwed.
