Hi!
I just got a trailer hitch installed on my 24 Hybrid XLT. When I looked under the truck I realized that there is not a splash guard or heat shield under the rear left tire. Also there are some exposed wires. Is this normal or is a part missing ? Thank you so much.

Thank you. Do you think the exposed wiring is a problem?

OP, what you see is how they are built and delivered on the left rear side.

Some here have fabricated and installed their own covers.

Well they will indeed be a problem if you live in the north.
Those will get ice built up and they will get ripped off. If you never encounter that. They should be fine. I would personally get under it and try to secure them better.

I'd put those in a split wire loom.

The blue and red wires do not look like factory wires. I could be wrong, but I would look into securing them a little better/different.

Looks like several of us had the same thought.
