Do I Really Need a Hitch Cover?
The real purpose for a hitch cover is to protect your hitch or hitch ball when not in use, although some people use them because they are fun to display. A cover will keep your trailer hitch or hitch ball protected and in excellent condition for when the occasion arises to tow something.

Selecting the right size of cover
Trailer hitches come in two sizes 1.25 or 2 inches. To figure out the size of your hitch all you need to do is measure the diameter of the hitch opening. The most common size is the 2 inch.
