Ford 1L2Z-17F000-CA Genuine Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover Cap

Good material, perfect fit

Found this here on Amazon for the lowest price I could see anywhere, including e**y. Around $16. So yes, I dinged it for "value for the money." Seriously, $16 (but MUCH more elsewhere) for what's probably a $2 or 3 piece of molded rubber. Ah, yes, but there's the Ford logo. So one pays a premium. It fits perfectly (ought to, it's OEM) and is held on by friction of the rubber against the inside (and outside) metal of the square hitch. I actually did one little mod with the purposes of (a) reducing the chance that it could, over time, come out and (b) discouraging someone from purposefully taking it out and stealing it. I drilled 1/4" holes on the sides of the plug on the interior of the cap (that slides in and holds against the hitch by friction). I then used a couple small screws, nuts and lock washers on each side to secure a couple inch piece of metal hanger tape (the kind you use to secure plumbing pipes) on each side. This is (a) flexible, (b) cheap and I had some around anyway, (c) lightweight and (d) has holes already in it. I'd arranged it so that the holes in the tape match perfectly with the holes on the sides of the hitch. Through the holes in the hitch I threaded an 11" black zip tie (UV resistant/indoor/outdoor) then through the holes it the hanger tape. Zipped it up on top and cut off the excess tie material. No, it's not as secure as a lock, but then again it didn't cost $20 or so. There's no way the cap will work its way loose now and sure, someone could cut the zip tie and still take the cover, but I think that it's sort of like a door lock. There's no door lock made that can keep a determined crook from getting into your house. Your goal is to make it cost time and effort so that the crook will go somewhere else. If someone just tries to pull it off, it isn't going to just pop off. Then they're going to have to look around it so see what's holding it on, then they've got to have a knife or a pair of wire cutters. Then they're going to have to cut it, etc. So sure, not perfect, but a deterrent that cost me a few pennies and not even 5 minutes to set up. Hope that helps someone! I paid full price with my own money, so this is my honest review without influence of payment.

Good fit and quality. I followed some of the suggestions on here for securing it with zip ties to help discourage theft. So far it's worked. Highly recommend.

Fits great and looks great. Should keep rain and dirt out.

Fits great and stays on. It is made of high quality rubber.I only hope whoever stole it at the Home Depot parking lot yesterday enjoys it as much as I did!

Easy to install hope it holds up in the weather and stays looking good

Great

Fits perfect - nice and tight. Most likely will not wiggle out over time. Silly that it's so much money for a small piece of rubber, but it does the job probably better than the rest. Looks good and matches the truck well.
