For those who want to put a small finishing touch on an already great truck I found a nice Hitch Receiver cover. It's the one like you see on some of the Expeditions.

I got one from the Ford Dealer for $11.52 + tax. The part number is 1L2Z-17F000-CA. I just put mine on my King Ranch and it looks great.

 

 

Here's my receiver plug!

 

I bought this and thought it looked great....glad I took the picture right away because now a year and a half later all the stripes fell off (they were a plastic fill material of some sort on a cast metal base) and it's all pitted up. I really need a new one.

 

Jay,

Thanks for the recomendation on this piece... I ordered one with an order from FordPartsNetwork.com and figured that if I didn't like it, I could chuck it on a table and let it collect dust. It was only $7 ... but, I LOVE IT. It looks good. Now that I have a KR emblem on the tailgate, I'm going to scrap my KR hitch cover (too many running w's on the rear end of the truck). That plug looks EXCELLENT.

Thanks for the idea.

I'll post pictures tomorrow... it's going to be all shiny too. Wax day tomorrow.

Hey RP, want to sell your KR hitch cover? I thought about doin that my-self. Well, maybe just use the KR badge and put it on the front chrome plate to replace the Ford emblem. I think that is what I want to do, now that I think about it, I already have a rear KR badge, but now want it for the front. You willin to sell the badge only so I can use it on the front plate?

 

Here's mine.....personally made by yours truly!

 

Hi Jayhawker,

Thats the one I also bought. Gives the hitch receiver a nice clean look.

is it that black rubber one? they gave me one when I bought my wifes exploder..I painted the ford logo and a week later some one stole it at walmart...got another and drilled a real small hole in the side of the reciver and ran a screw into it ..they've tried since but no luck

 

Yeah, it's the black rubber one. I wouldn't be suprised if someone snatches mine... damn theives...

Damon, nah, I think I'm going to hang on to it but thanks for the offer.
