Specs:

Reese Towpower has created this Ford Motor Company LED hitch cover to look like an ordinary Ford logo in daytime, non-braking situations. When you turn on your vehicle's tail lights or activate the brakes, the cover's unique metallic coating becomes transparent, and bright red LEDs shine through. The long-lasting LED cells have two intensity settings. The red lights use low illumination when your vehicle's tail lights are on and high illumination when you activate your brakes or hazard lights.
Hitch covers are fun to show off and they look cool, but they do more than just accessorize your vehicle. Your Ford light-up hitch cover helps to keep dirt out of the receiver and deters rust, so you can easily install ball mounts and other hitch accessories when you need them. This hitch cover is a great way to protect your receiver and proclaim your loyalty to the renowned Ford brand, all in one.

Today, were going to review part number 86065. This is the Reese Ford LED Brake and Tail Light Trailer Hitch Cover for 1-1/4 and-2-inch hitches. This is an officially licensed 3D Ford Logo, which will add a stylish touch to your vehicle. It does use red LEDs which will light up to give your vehicle some flash and make it more visible as well as to alert other drivers to slow down or stop when you do. It does have a low illumination while youre using your tail lights and higher brighter illumination when you brake or engage the hazard lights or your brake light. They do use an energy-efficient LED which are long lasting.
The hitch cover does have a foam gasket that is used on it which will help protect your hitch receiver from water and dirt. Now, it does come with an adapter that bolts on to the hitch cover for a 1-1/4-inch hitch and the foam gasket the goes on that. Ive already installed the 2-inch adapter onto the hitch cover to give you a demonstration of it going onto this hitch. Let me give you a few dimensions on this hitch cover. The face of it is 7 inches wide.
The height is 2-3/4 inches tall. It is a simple installation. Basically, the cover would slide into the hitch, in this case, the 2-inch hitch. It includes the adapter and the foam gasket which will help ensure a snug, rattle-free fit. The wiring harness will plug into your vehicles existing four-way plug.
Now, you do need to use a pin and clip or a hitch lock which is sold separately to attach this to the hitch. You just line the holes up. Put the pin in and basically, that would hold it into place. Im going to give you a demonstration. Im going to plug it into a four-way power supply I have here.
Once we plug it in, you can see the light with the tail lights and then when you hit your brake or your hazard lights, it would light up even brighter. Im going to show you what it would be with the overhead lights off to give you an idea of the brightness. Thats what the tail light would look like; and with the brake or the hazard light applied, it would light up even brighter. This part does come with a 90-day warranty. That should do it for part number 86065.

Looked and worked great when I got it in December. In mid Feb here in MD, the plastic chrome is flaking off. Winters here are pretty mild. Not what I'd call durable.66449

Product works as described. I bought it really to be able to protect the 4-wire flat connector from corroding, as well as provide additional safety via the brake light functionality. However, while assembling the unit, a piece of plastic broke off. It would be much better if a majority of the unit was made of metal rather than plastic.63294

I ordered this as a present for my brother and he saw the box which has what it is marked on it. Most things ordered online are inside. This wouldn't have ruined my present. Thanks otherwise I love the way it looks!61449

The product is very nice and works as indicated. I was disappointed in the weight of the product. I thought it may be sturdier. The wires are too short; they barely reach the plug. I had to cut the foam pad in half in order to use it and have the plug reach the receptacle.56318

Overall this appears to be a good product. The Ford logo lights up nice and bright so it's definitely an attention getter. I have some concerns about how well the plastic tube will hold up. Hopefully it will not get brittle and break from being exposed to the weather, but only time will tell. If I asked myself if I would buy it again I would say yes, assuming the plastic tube does not get brittle from being exposed to the elements.56082
