Looking for hitch receiver plug/cover. Prefer a black rubber cover with Ford logo embossed on it. Don't want anything real flashy. Had one on my 04 but it went with the truck when I sold it and can't find anything like it. What is everyone using?

 

I bought a step to match my running boards, with a brake light in it. Only use it a few months out of the year though, usually leave my drop hitch with ball on it for towing the boat.

 

Like you I didn't want anything flashy. I found a small cover on Ebay with the "Built Ford Tough" logo. Sorry I don't have any pics, but I'm sure you know what it looks like.

 

I have a square hole on my hitch reciever.

 

I have the original Ford logo like on our tailgates (chrome ring and Blue surrounding chrome FORD). Had it since 2000 and still looks good.

Mine is black rubber and says 'Reese'. Bought it at Tractor Supply Company.

 

My truck is an 08 but I run a Reese 2" ball/drawbar in it all the time. I have a plastic chrome Ford logo that would fit in there, but after the ball/bar combo saved my bumper the first week I had it in, it's staying....

The black rubber ones with the ford logo came in the trucks in the early/mid 90's when ordered with the trailer towing pkg. I found one used on ebay a few years ago that I used on several of my recent trucks. It either fell out or was removed by someone's sticky fingers. I really liked the subtle look of those.

The one I linked locks in with the drawbar pin. If you don't want it to light up when your brake lights come on, you don't have to connect it to the 4 wire plug. I keep mine connected to help keep the plug from corroding.

I don't like when people leave their ball hitch in all the time. I usually end up banging my shin on it if there isn't a trailer hooked up.

 

I saw some nice looking hitch mount bumpers while surfing the web a couple weeks ago, don't recall the name though. They sounded like a good idea. All the benefits of saving the stock bumper from low speed collisions and no drawbacks like tripping over and banging shins into them. I think they even had extra features built-in or available like lights, steps, etc.

 

It's stainless steel with a cutout of the Ford script. It was a gift from a friend and id on it's second F150.

 

I just bought the balck Ford receiver cover from my LFD. I had one on my 2009 Plat and they had the same one for my 2013 Plat...was about $15/or so and looks nice w/o being overdone.
