Speaker 1: Today you're going to be getting a look at the rubber hitch cover from etrailer.com. It's available for two inch hitches, part number 22282. It's also available for inch and a quarter hitches, part number 22281.If you've got several hundred dollars invested in a trailer hitch, you may want to consider spending a few more dollars to protect it. An empty receiver tube could invite water, road grime, or other environmental hazards into the opening creating rust and corrosion. This can even spread to your bull mount. The hitch cover serves a dual purpose, preventing rust and corrosion while adding to the overall appearance of a hitch.The etrailer.com hitch cover is black in appearance so it's going to blend in with your hitch.
Compared to other hitch covers, it doesn't require a pin and clip. It simply just pressure fits in place.The wide rubber face is also going to protect the collar of your hitch. Because the whole thing is rubber, it's going to be more durable than plastic hitch covers. Now you've had a look at the rubber hitch cover from etrailer.com.

Ordered a ball hitch, hitch cover, draw bar, and hitch pin for a 1 1/4" receiver so I can use a utility trailer to haul my 7' dingy down to the shore. We have a hybrid vehicle so hauling is not recommended but the distance is less than a mile and the total weight is less than 300 lbs. I shopped in vain to find the right size for our receiver but then I found etrailer. Couldn't be more pleased with the prices, communication and delivery! 5 stars absolutely. Oh, videos are fantastic. 744969

We had a little mishap with this delivery but as soon as I contacted Michelle S she rectified everything in a very quick and professional manner. Unfortunately I could not install this myself it was too difficult for me to get underneath my car so I had my local mechanic do it. He said it was easy to install and it fit well without any additional drilling. Now I have to purchase another anti wobble pin for my bike rack so I can attach it to the hitch. In the meantime I place the hitch cap over the hole and it looks very good. Thank you etrailer for all your support! 401755

This hitch cover does it's job of covering the receiver opening (which naturally gets rusty looking with use) and, being flat black, making the hitch a little less obvious in its appearance. The only down side is it can be accidentally lost if you scrape it pulling out of a driveway or off a steep slope. But at $.$$ you can always buy another one. 336554

I went all over my local area to find this simple part and no one had it, most saying they had no idea what I was talking about. I did finally find a source that wanted $12.95 for it. Going on line, I found etrailer.com and spoke with Customer Service Rep. Jennifer and in 5 minutes, the part was ordered and delivered for less than half the previous sources cost. I know who I'm contacting first for future trailer part needs. Jennifer even gave me her direct line incase of any problems. That is customer service! 291800

The advice you gave me at the time of purchase was right on the money! A year later, all is well. Thank you for your concern.

Great price, cheap enough that I bought four because these things occasionally disappear. It fits well and does what it's supposed to do, and now I have spares. Inexpensive and fast-enough shipping to my mailbox via USPS. I bought a hitch from etrailer a decade ago without issues. Very thorough web presence. Carry on. 434125
Comments
The fit is a bit loose they fall out, or get blown out or washed out, and get lost without a retaining spring. I installed a long stretchy spring that I could hook to the front end of the tube no losses thereafter.

Jameson and Donna P. were very helpful with my order. An item was out of stock and Donna quickly noticed this and ordered it directly from the manufacturer and updated my delivery date and my shipping address. Everything arrived on time and that was appreciated. Jameson answered my initial concerns and explained in detail what I would need to complete the job. Thanks to both and etrailer. I never realized there was so much to learn about towing a trailer, but they made it easy to learn. 403173

Great fit and easy to install. The video helped so much, I appreciate yall taking the time to do that. I was skeptical at first because it looked too easy but it was a breeze. Took me less than an hour start to finish. I did not have to take the bottom part of the bumper off like the video suggested, just the license plate area. Would buy again if I needed to. Perfect for hauling my 4x6 trailer 730012

I went to at least 5 different stores looking for a cap for a 1 1/4” cover for my 1 1/4” receiver hitch. All carried 2” only. Finally when I order a bike rack for my car etrailer recommended a cover for my 1 1/4 receiver. So easy and cheap! 728943

Ask the Experts about this etrailer Hitch Covers
- Should a Locking Hitch Pin be Purchased to Help Keep a Hitch Cover from Being StolenA trailer hitch cover like the Rubber Hitch Cover # 22281 is not one that can be locked, but since it is a common piece it really isn't in too much danger of being stolen. However, if you you are looking at a hitch cover that is a little more unique, like the part # HTCC11805, then I do recommend going with a locking hitch pin like part # e98880 as opposed to a typical pin and clip like part # PC3. This will help to deter theft of your cover. Please note that the lock and clip/pin...

The rest of the parts needed for installation like the hardware, is included with the hitch. I do however recommend using the hitch cover part # 22281 while the hitch is not being used as this will prevent rust from forming inside the receiver tube opening.

- What is the Diameter of the Crosstube on the Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2018 Dodge JourneyThe inner diameter of the crosstube on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76225 is 1-1/2". Therefore, a trailer hitch cover designed for a 2" receiver tube opening like the Rubber Hitch Cover part # 22282 will not work for this application. With that being said I am certain you could find something to work for this application with just a bit of modifications. I have attached a sample install video for you as well.

- Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2011 BMW 328iUnfortunately we do not have a hitch listed as a fit for your 2011 BMW 323i. In general, all of our products are designed for vehicles in the U.S.A. but it is highly unlikely that they are different than the Canadian models but again are not specifically designed.

As long as your Audi is within this year range then yes this hitch will work well for you. If you have a different year Audi A6 then please let me know what year that is and I would be glad to see if we have other options available for you. Please note that in order to abide by Curt's warranty, the use of a stabilizer strap such as the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap part...

In fact, all Class I and Class II trailer hitch receivers made by Curt require the use of this strap in accordance with their warranty policy.

view full answer... - Recommendation for Installing 2 Inch Hitch Cover on 1-1/4 Inch Hitch ReceiverI recommend first verifying the receiver size on your vehicle, as a 1-1/2 inch hitch is very uncommon. We do not have any adapters available for this sized hitch receiver. If you actually have a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver, you will just need to use an adapter like the Brophy # HTAD. This adapter will slide into your existing hitch receiver and provide a 2 inch receiver opening that you can use with your cover. We do also have a large selection of hitch covers that fit directly with...

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver And Cargo Carrier For 2016 Ford FocusFor your 2016 Ford Focus, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I - 1-1/4" # 24872. This trailer hitch receiver is rated for a 200 lb tongue weight and a 2000 lb towing weight. This is a very well made hitch that will allow you to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier. Your owners manual does not give weight restrictions and states you are never to tow with this vehicle, so you will be limited to accessories. The 17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2"...

The shank is removable, it is secured by the standard pin and clip. Keep in mind that this is a Class I 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver that has a max Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) of 1,500 lbs and a max Tongue Weight (TW) of 150 lbs. To help keep the inside of the Curt receiver nice when the...
view full answer... - Can Lubricant be Used to Help With Installing Bike Rack Into Hitch ReceiverIf you are having trouble installing your hitch mounted bike rack into a trailer hitch receiver, like the Draw-Tite # 24808 for your 2009 Toyota Prius, then I'd first recommend making sure that the receiver is cleaned out and free of debris. If it is clean then there may just be some extra powder coating on the inside. We have had customers who tried filing it out but you can definitely try some WD40 first if you have some handy.
view full answer... - Will the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11367 Fit my 2015 BMW 2 Series 228i CoupeYes, the Curt Hitch Receiver # C11367 will fit your 2015 BMW 2 Series. If you are going to be using a bike rack, like the Thule Roadway # TH912XTR, keep in mind that your max Tongue Weight is 200 lbs and that you will be limited to carrying only 2 bikes. If you will be using the hitch for anything but towing, Curt recommends using the Support Strap # 18050, otherwise your warranty from Curt will be voided.

view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Cover for Curt Class I Trailer Hitch on 2015 Acura TLXFor a rubber hitch cover that will work perfectly with the Class I Curt trailer hitch installed on your 2015 Acura TLX, I recommend the Curt # C22271 or the etrailer.com # 22281. Either option will push right into the hitch receiver to protect it from dirt and debris when you aren't using it for towing. I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these covers that you can also check out.
