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. Another simple way to find out the correct size of hitch cover you need is to find out the class of your trailer hitch. Trailer hitches come in classes 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5. Class 1 and 2 hitches will need a 1.25 inch cover opening, and all class 2.5 through 5 will need a 2 inch cover opening.
If you have a trailer hitch, you should really think about purchasing a hitch cover. One will assist you in keeping your hitch in good condition while allowing you to express yourself at the same time. Hitch covers are not only practical they are fun too!
