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

Thanks for the drawing! Except, as an american, I'm going to have to ask Google to translate the millimeters to inches! 
For the 4K tow, it won't work as well. you have 2 trailer sockets, and much more would need to be cut away to open the socket doors. This will work much better with the 2K tow.
the NZ6Z17F000AA "bumper end cap" is still on backorder 
, but I had the dealership place an order for one anyway. Said no ETA on when it will be back in stock.

Here's another conversation about the hitch cover.

Nicely done. Details count and can make a big difference in how a vehicle is finished. That being said, seems it takes quite a bit of work to get that look.That is a much cleaner and finished look. Why is this not done from the factory?
Is this end cap for the 4 pin or for the 4k seven pin? Love to just be able to order one from FORD. I have 2.0 EB with FX4, no 4K.
Pre-made! This would definitely save some effort and time. Of course, I'm reading this a month later and they show "unavailable until further notice". Still, good to know the part is out there. Thanks
It was a B!TCH, really not sure I can get it back off without destroying it. Can’t explain “how” I got it on there, just forced it, and scratched the cover a good bit doing it. if I had to do it over again, I would remove the 4pin connection first, and then try to slide it back in before putting all the bumper cover screws back in

If you are asking me if we have met, no that was not me. Sorry to hear you are one of many who are still waiting. I hope you at least have been scheduled if it was a MY22. I am now waiting on a MY23 XLT Hybrid. (now waiting on my MY24 XL hybrid with trailer hitch roll over order). Get used to waiting on a Maverick order.

Yea I'm half tempted to cut off the where the chains hook up and re-weld a new plate also it looks like if you pull the bolts for the plastic bumper it helps
The hitch install video posted, the guy cuts the plate wider to account for the chain hooks, the problem is the plastic will fit, but the part that snaps into the bumper cover is 2x thicker than the rest of the material around the edges. I really thought about grinding the back of the chain hooks to make more room. Space between chain hooks and hitch plate is the biggest problem.
