Today, we're going to be taking a look at part number AUT-GMC2-C. This is the GMC trailer hitch cover from Au-Tomotive Gold Hitch Covers. It's going to feature the officially licensed GMC logo right here on the face plate. The unit is designed to slide into your 2-inch hitch to help keep out dirt and grime which is going to ultimately protect your hitch from rust and corrosion but it's also going to add that nice clean finish look to your hitch. We're going to have the chrome ABS plastic that's going to outline the logo on the face plate. Then we are going to have the UV resistant red painted lettering.
That unit is going to sit on a polished stainless steel base so it's going to give that mirror-like shine. That's also going to resist rust and corrosion. We're also going to have the one-piece riveted construction so no assemblies required. It's ready to be installed in your hitch right out of the box. The shank is stainless steel as well. You can see here that it has a 3-pinhole design.
That way, you can choose whatever pinhole is going to work best for your application. The diameter of each one of those holes is going to measure about 5/8 inch. When you install this, this piece is going to go into your hitch. You're going to push it until you get the pinholes lined up with the pinholes in your hitch. Then you're going to need to insert a hitch pin and clip or hitch pin and lock.
Those items are sold separately. If you don't have one, you can find those here on our website. Again, this is designed for 2-inch by 2-inch trailer hitch receivers. If we take a measurement of the shank, measuring from the back of the face plate to the end of the shank, we're looking at 3 1/2 inches. Then from the back of the face plate to the center of that first pinhole, we're looking at about 1 5/8 inches. To the middle of the center pinhole, we're looking at about 2 1/8 inches.
To the center of the rear pinhole, we're looking at about 2 5/8 inches. The face plate is going to give us a diameter of about 4 inches. Again, pretty simple installation. You just slide this into your hitch and secure it with a hitch pin and clip or hitch pin and lock. The unit is going to be covered with a lifetime warranty and it's made right here in the USA. That's going to do it for today's look at part number AUT-GMC2-C.

Works great, looks good, no corrosion after one year of use.
I wish I was reminded that the to buy a hitch lock when I order the 2 hitches. Other then that great product. I love the Colorado hitch cover looks great on my truck. Thank you the delivery was pretty fast well.
Product looks very nice. The 3rd hole on it was the only one that came close to putting a pin in, but was off about a 1/16 of a inch, so l had to drill out the hole in order for a pin to fit. This was the only problem l had.
John W - 01/22/2022This well-constructed, authentic emblem is a colourful addition to the rather non-descript square of my GMC Terrain’s trailer hitch. It was very easy to install for driving and to quickly remove, when I occasionally use the hitch, itself. I’ve had various complimentary comments from both my local GM dealer and other persons who had a “bare” trailer hitch on their cars and/trucks. I’ve not hesitated in telling others how they can own such an accessory, where they can buy one and the excellent service they will receive. One final suggestion: do not forget to order the stainless steel pin and holding clip. Make your installation/removal... easy. Thank you, etrailer!
The product is excellent and put it on my truck immediately. The only thing I was wondering about is previously with another brand I purchased there was a piece of foam between the Hitch Cover and the actual receiver. I have not gone anywhere yet so am not sure whether there will be a rattle or not from vibration, I was just wondering if your company has thought about including the foam?
Product arrived ahead of schedule. It looks great on my Yukon XL absolutely no installation problems.

It looks great on my truck under the tailgate that has a graphic of the USS Hornet CVS 12 I served on in the Navy
Review from a similar Stainless Steel in Hitch Covers
The cover really dresses up the back hitch and makes a huge improvement on aesthetics.
One year later, and surviving winter driving with salt and sand, the cover still looks brand new.

Adventure G - 06/09/2018Review from a similar Stainless Steel in Hitch Covers
Well made really stands out, stainless mount, plastic emblem sturdy, fits 1 1/4" hitch
One wonders why all covers made for 1 1/4" with and adapter for 2" so there would be no need for 2 sizes. I attached it to my E Trailer hitch on my Corvette. Yes a tow hitch on a Corvette for bike rack.
Review from a similar Stainless Steel in Hitch Covers
This is the second time I have purchased a trailer hitch from this company. I only had to replace this product because I was rear ended a few weeks ago by another driver. The tow bar took all the damage and while it had to be replaced, it protected the back of my jeep from further impact.
The team at etrailer have great customer service and the products are top notch, since they don't sacrifice on quality. They come highly recommended!
