Did something similar with my Nissan Frontier... Didn't like the dangling bits below the bumper for the trailer wiring harness.. So, I cut a whole in the steel bumper and mounted a 7 pin adapter.... Of course I have 5pin/4pin adapter from that to run my small trailers. Anyway, I think it just looks better.

NZ6Z17F000AA is the cover part number. I cut a slot for the hitch and then a hole for the harness connector. The cover snaps in and also has holes for two screws where it sits against the bumper cover. I just used small black zip ties there. Did have to remove a handful of screws to loosen the bumper cover and you really have to wiggle and flex the cover into place. But well worth doing.
NZ6Z17F000AA. this part number is wrong

Very nice
That looks great! So when you ordered the cover it’s just a blank cover and you cut out for the hitch and plug? What did you use to cut it? Also what’s the part #?

NZ6Z17F000AA is the part number. A few Ford websites have the wrong picture for the part, so don't worry about that when you search for it. Just find a source with the cheapest shipping. Some are charging more than the part to ship it... I have a small Ryobi rotary saw that I used. A Dremel would work just as well. Whatever you use, it will make a mess.

I have been trying to order NZ6Z17F000AA since Friday but not in stock anywhere that I could find. It is on the national back-order status now so I will wait until availability.

Any idea’s on how too cover all the dead space around the trailer hitch.would like to maybe also move the license plate back to the same area to get it back where it should be.
I agree, looks out of place with the license plate offset to the side. My Lariat has been shipped so once I get it I will come up with a way to move and fill in the existing location.
