Cover for receiver hitch?
 

Can anyone tell me the part name of the cover to where the hitch receiver normally is? I need replace mine but I can't find it online for the life of me.

Cap - #1 Part # 71600029672 - MSRP $4.25

When I checked last week the cap was still unavailable due to the hitch company problem. Hope you can find a dealer who still has some on their shelves. Buy at least two if you find them. For the plastic cover... should be able to get it anywhere. Good luck.

Yes, I meant the hitch plate cover but thanks for the other replys as i will be getting a hitch soon as well. Thanks Cobra that is the exact part site I was looking for as well.

if you get a hitch, the cover plate is not necessary as the receiver will extend through the opening.

Or you can do as I did, and cut the cover, so that it fits around the receiver.
