Let's See Your Trailer Hitch Cover

[Art Vandelay]

I have the Ford logo light up hitch cover below but I don't like it because it doesn't fit right. It's very loose and when the windows are down I can hear it moving back and forth when I hit the brakes or the gas. I also don't like leaving it constantly plugged in leaving the trailer hitch plug always exposed to the elements. I added some window conditioner foam to secure it a little better and I don't even plug it in which defeats the purpose of a light up hitch. So lets see everyone's trailer hitch covers.

Okay
I was really hoping to see it on your truck lit up.
When it's plugged in, does it mess with any other functions of the truck, if you have those options? Like BLISS?

I had one on my SUV, but I've read on here that they cause the inside of the receiver to rust which makes sense ... So I'm leaving it open for now and keeping it clean to see how it goes.

Similar thing to BBQ grills: I kept a cover on my old one and it rusted badly, the new one doesn't get covered but it gets washed and it's rust-free after nearly 2 years

I have the same one. I replaced the standard bulb with an LED (it would run too hot and melt/warp the plastic) and wired it to the aux wiring in the bed, so it's always on when the truck is active. The LED is a 5 watt equivalent, so the same brightness as the taillights, not the brake lights. It does stay on for about 10 minutes after shutting down the truck, but I've never had a battery issue as the draw is extremely low. Plugging it into the trailer wiring port shuts down the blind spot sensors, cross-traffic alert and backup sensors.

What's the point of having a hitch if you aren't going to leave the shin-buster in at all times?

I just installed one of these a couple of weeks ago. Way more useful than the cover that I had on it.

Not inexpensive, but very bright.
