Today we're going to be taking a look at the Rutgers 2" hitch cover from AMG. This hitch cover is going to allow you to show your school pride. It's going to add a clean finished look to your hitch and it's going to help keep dirt and grime out of the receiver tube of your hitch. The hitch cover's made from a steel construction. It's going to have a really nice black powder coat finish on it which is going to do a great job at resisting rust and corrosion. Here at the front we're going to have the large R, that's a chrome plated metal emblem.
It's got a nice rust proof and fade proof design. The product is American made. Here on the back side, it's got a foam gasket that goes around the area that slides into the hitch. That foam gasket's going to do a great job at reducing rattling between the hitch and the hitch cover. This is an officially licensed product. When installing it, it does require a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock.
Those items are sold separately but if you're in need of one, you can find them here at etrailer.com. The pin holes on the hitch cover will accept a standard 5/8" diameter pin. Now when it comes to the dimensions here at the hitch cover face, it's going to give us an overall width of about 5" with an overall height of 3 1/2". The distance that we have from the back of the foam pad to the center of the hitch pin hole is going to be pretty close to 2 1/2". Now this is designed for a 2" x 2" hitch.
Very simple installation. Just slide it into the receiver tube of your hitch, line up your pin holes and secure it with a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock. That's going to do it for today's look at the Rutgers 2" hitch cover from AMG.
Ratings & Reviews
Needed something stylish and classy to dress up and protect the propriatory hitch on a Range Rover, and we Texans are proud so I thought I would give this a shot. Fits and looks great, has a padded back to recduce rattle and wear,(great idea) no other hitch cover I have had has this. Liked it so much I bought another one for my wifes Range.
Go VOLS!!!
I would like to put in a good word, first on the quality of this product. After going through several cheap plastic hitch covers in recent years, I was very please to see that this unit was solid, powder coated steel. This unit, if waxed regularly will last you several vehicles and still look great!
My second word of thanks goes to etrailer.com. Their processing was lightning fast. Shipping was same day with plenty of tracking information to follow your order all the way to your door. Thank you etrailer, you have just earned another loyal customer!.
Great products! Good price! Quick delivery! EXCELLENT Customer contact,service and commitment! Bought the VFW hitch cover and the 5201 Receiver lock. Both are better quality than I anticipated. Happy Old Veteran!
Ordered this for my husband. He couldn't wait to get it on his vehicle. It looks great. Very pleased with quality and appearance.
For the price I expected better quality. The powder coating seems to be okay. However, there are pits in the chrome plating of the USAF logo. The pits are not noticeable at a distance, so I didn't return it. Now, as an afterthought, I'm hoping it doesn't rust. Apparently there's not a standard distance to the pin hole in 2" receivers. I had to add 1/2 inch of gasket material in addition to the gasket provided to stabilize the cover in my receiver.
Still looks great!
Customer service has been excellent; however, the trailer hitch cover is starting to show wear less than a year after purchase. I would not purchase this item again due to the premature wear.
The Arizona State University hitch cover I purchased through etrailer matches every detail of my Jeep Wrangler and allows me to show off my school pride in style.
Thanks for your message and following up a year later! I have purchased two of these hitch covers for both of our cars. I'll attach pictures. I believe the first one I bought was 2 years ago and the second was a year ago. The two year old cover has shown a great deal of rust and deterioration over those two years. The other one is in much better shape but I would expect the same to happen over this next year.
I do live in Pittsburgh, a very rainy and humid climate for most of the year. Obviously in winter months, we get a lot of snow and ice with the roadways covered with salt. I'm sure those factors contribute to the rusting of this product.
I'll be happy to log in and make a review post similar to above if you would like me to. I have been a happy customer of yours with a few of these similar products.
Thanks!
WOW!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL RECEIVER COVER! TOP QUALITY. PERFECT WAY TO SHOW MY SERVICE TO MY COUNTRY WHEN I'M NOT TOWING!!! THANKS ETRAILER!!!
Perfection and quality. My husband is a Marine. We are proud of his service like we are all who serve. I've seen inexpensive (cheap and cheesy) hitch covers, but wanted quality only while respecting the Marine logo. This is it. Thank you.
It took to long to get to us via mail and I wish the product had multiple holes giving us the option of adjusting it to fit the hitch receiver better.
I took about a month shopping before I purchased. The one thing I didn't want was a cheap plastic hitch cover representing my team. I love this hitch cover because it is high quality and really stands out. After having it a year it still looks like it did the day it arrived. Thank you etrailer for outstanding quality. Two thumbs up!!!!!
Did a lot of research on this product and it came through with flying colors. I ordered this product and one other from another site. This cover was superior in thickness size and chrome. Also the pin opening is large enough for standard 4" pins. If you are considering this product I suggest you don't wait. As for the company, great service. I was contacted shortly after the purchase, tracked the item and was contact about satisfaction after delivery. Outstanding. Will not return item but with their attention to detail I am sure if there were anything of issue the company would be on top of it. Thank you I will be ordering from you again.
I am very pleased with the new hitch cover I ordered from etrailer.com. It was reasonably priced and is made of outstanding material. It was shipped and received very promptly and has already attracted and drawn numerous compliments. It enables me to continue showing pride and esprit de corps of the 1st Calvary Division in which I served during the Vietnam War. I would not hesitate to order other products from etrailer.com in the future and highly recommend them for anyone considering similar purchases.
Before I took it out of the box, I could tell that this was a high quality product. The colors are bright and the fit is perfect. The foam seal to keep water out of the hitch was an unexpected nice touch. It looks great on my truck.
Be advised, it does not come with any kind of retaining device, you will need a hitch pin to keep it in place. I purchased a locking pin because something as nice as this would probably get stolen.
Love this hitch cover. It is exactly what I was looking for.
I love the emblem. Exactly as shown in the photos and the construction of this is solid.
My only problem is that the length of the tube does not allow me to use it when I have the anti-rattle collar installed. I have to remove the anti-rattle when not towing. I would love it if there was an option for a tube that is maybe 1 inch longer.
I got this product to give as a gift so it's not in use yet but it was exactly what I was looking for. It got here quickly with no problems!
This is a must for any die-hard Rutgers fan driving a truck/SUV. The chrome finish is high quality. GO KNIGHTS!
Item exactly as advertised, great quality. would order again.
I purchased this product for my favorite Scarlet Knight, my fiance. He loves it! Looks great on his silver Dodge Ram. He says it's his favorite Xmas gift this year!
Just wanted to say Thank you to the E Trailer team I recently ordered a Rutgers Chrome plated trailer hitch cover to put on the rear of my wife's new SUV it was unexpected to her and she loves it great fit and finish.
LOVE my new hitch cover!!! It took a bit longer to arrive than I initially expected but etrailer notified me immediately after placing my order about the delay of shipment. Great service/communication! Awesome product. I can’t wait to show it off to my son this weekend when he comes for a visit.
