Expert Reply:

All of the hitch covers for Rice and Rutgers are for 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. But do not worry, you can still use any of them in a 1-1/4 inch hitch as long as you use an adapter like # HTAD. This unit has a 1-1/4 inch shank but a 2 inch receiver allowing you to use a 2 inch hitch cover.

For Rutgers we have # AMG100468 that you have referenced. For Rice we have # HCC2447, and # AMG100475.
