Howdy fellow Arkansawer,

love your hitch cover, I used to have the same one on my F150 but sadly it got broken. So I replaced it with a billet aluminum one that had Ford cut into it. Unfortunately when I stuck it on the Maverick it rattles when I hit a bump with both rear wheels. Doesn’t do it if only one rear wheel hits a bump. After a month of rattles got tired of rattle so took hitch cover off, haven’t found replacement yet.

In all seriousness, dude: Thanks for your service. Vietnam vets definitely caught the short end of the straw. I entered the Army in 1976, just after Vietnam wound down. I served with a lot of Vietnam veterans, and watched how others were treated in public and private. Talk about the "forgotten generation"...
You are welcome. Yea, we were encouraged to shed the military clothes asap when we returned to "the world". Sadly some guys in the service at the same time but never went to Vietnam were treated the same way simply because they were part of the "war machine." When drafted in 1968 we encountered some "protestors" at our induction point who wanted to put flowers in our hair and wanted us to give flowers to the Vietcong because they honestly believed if we just showed them love they would break down in tears, drop their weapons, and hug us. I later kinda wondered if Jane Fonda was with them.

The question is what does Ford have in it that makes it so hard to supply?
Hitch receivers and wiring are both made of "unobtanium" - a rare mineral that is only available from one individual's secret mine in Cambodia - and he only mines it Tue-Thu of odd-numbered weeks. The rest of the time he's hanging out on MTC, creating "why are trailer hitches constrained" memes...

I’ll laugh when I get my truck’s build date.

For a guy that only works 3 days a week, he sure did a crappy job of building my 4K wiring harness, leaving it up to the dealer & Ford engineering to take 2 weeks to determine what he left out,,,,,,

My Oregon hitch cover that I removed when I sold my Tacoma back in 2017. I knew I'd have a truck again some day.

I have the weather tech bumpstep that's made out of plastic, and will break before any real damage could hit the frame. I agree the metal ones are a bad idea though.

You should put a bumper on the back of your bump step so it won't get damaged.

Brilliant idea for a product. Bump steps you can put bump steps on.

Eventually stack them so far behind the truck you need to put a flag on them. 😆
