Anyone create/buy a cover for the hole in the bumper with hitch installed?

[93tilInfinity]

Just curious if anyone has found a solution for the large opening in the bumper that results from installing the factory hitch.
If not I'll attempt to hack my stock panel up.

Thanks!

What? Don't understand the question - how about some photos of what you are referring too.

I thought that hole is how you
lower the spare ?

I think the OP means the rectangular cut out of the plastic bumper trim that allows access to the 4 pin connector and tow hitch.

I'm responding to this to resurrect it, wonder if anyone came up with a plate for this use? Any aftermarket available? Kinda surprised it's not a Ford item.

Here is one drawing i copied but i think there is another one that uses a black filler panel sort of setup

I was at work. Here you go.

That cover should come standard with the 4K tow package

That is a much cleaner and finished look. Why is this not done from the factory?

All it needs now is the Ford hitch cover. Be advised though, there must be a black market for these, so the one on my Edge is now secured with a wire tie looped around it,,,,

You want them to take longer?

Seriously though, that looks outstanding. Something to add to my list of mods.

in addition to a Hidden Hitch would work.

This picture explains why adding the hitch on a new build is cheap. They use the impact bar, and just add the hitch to it. Saves weight cost and complexity. Also makes it expensive to add afterwards.

Apparently not. Now I can't un-see it. Haha

Do the covers for the 7 and 4 pins sit above the bumper? I'm curious if the cover mod will even work on the 4K with the correct holes.
