Are There Covers That Allow Hitch to be Exposed For 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

Question:
2023 JGC L Laredo. Are there any aftermarket covers that allow the hitch and wiring to be exposed, instead of reinstalling the OEM bumper cover and hiding everything? Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
Nope, there are not any covers that cover up just a portion of the opening and leave the hitch and wiring exposed on your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96NR.
I know it's not perfectly ideal to have to take the bumper cover on and off when you aren't using the hitch, and Jeep made the opening oddly large, but there isn't a different option I can offer.
