Trailer Hitch Cover Tips (Canada)

Pickup towing a travel trailer on a Canadian highway
Towing

A hitch cover keeps debris out of an empty receiver and finishes the bumper look. Match the opening size, and switch to a lock when an insert stays in the tube.

Fit

One and one quarter and two inch covers are not interchangeable. Soft plugs push in. Hard covers clip or strap on. Confirm clearance with parking sensors.

Care

Pull the cover occasionally in winter and clear packed salt. A frozen cover that will not budge needs gentle thaw — not a pry bar against the bumper.
