Ellen: Hey everybody, I'm Ellen here at eTrailer.com and we're going to be taking a quick look at the Michigan Metal Chrome Logo Hitch Cover. This gives you a nice way to showoff your love for UM, or the University of Michigan, with this metal hitch cover. It's different than a lot of other ones that you see out there, that are made of plastic, so this should be a much more sturdy and long-lasting option for you.Even the M emblem is also made out of a metal with that chrome plating. Now that is just kind of stuck on there with some adhesive, so some customers have said that they are not a big fan of that, but it should last a pretty long time. It's really strong adhesive, so it should be okay. If you're going to be leaving it on in harsh environments there's a chance that it could fall off after a few years.
That's just something to keep in mind, since it is stuck on there with glue. But I just want to let you know that it isn't riveted to there or anything like that, so if that's a deciding factor for you just something to keep in mind. I don't think that it's going to come off though. They have redesigned this. Before it had the Michigan name across the M, now it's just the big M there, so a little bit different.
I think they've upgraded that adhesive to make sure that it stays on there for a long time.So let's take a little closer look at it and I'll give you some measurements to make sure that this is a good fit for you. It does work with a 2" by 2" hitch, that's going to be your class III hitches and some of your class IIs as well. As far as the face of the hitch cover it's about 5" by about 3-1/2". And the distance from where it would mount to .. Or the closest point of the hitch cover to the hitch pin hole is about 2-3/8", so just shy of 2-1/2".
The reason why I give that is because you want to make sure that this is going to sit pretty close or really right up to the end of your hitch receiver tube so that it doesn't rattle around. That's also why they have this foam gasket there, to kind of take up some of the gap. If yours is really short, so there's a pretty big gap, you could always put some kind of additional foam in there to take up that space. Most hitches out there should probably be within that 2-1/2" range, so should be all right there.It does not come with a hitch pin and clip, that is something you have to pick up on your own. If you have any other hitch mounted accessories you probably have one already, but if not we've got a lot of options here at eTrailer.com, including hitch pin locks as well.As far as anything else with this, having a hitch cover is just always a nice idea to keep any kind of dirt or debris from gathering in that hitch and to make sure that it lasts a long time.
It also helps to reduce any kind of rust buildup. Whenever stuff gets collected in that hitch it can tend to make that corrode a bit faster, so having a hitch cover is a good way to prevent that, make it easier to get any of your aftermarket accessories in there, like a bike rack or cargo carrier. And it also just looks nice, gives your support of University of Michigan.And that's pretty much all there is to it for our quick look. I hope this has been helpful in deciding if this is the right choice for you. We do have a lot of other hitch covers and other hitch mounted accessories here at eTrailer.com, so be sure to check them out. I'm Ellen with eTrailer, thanks for watching.

This hitch cover will have Wolverine fans singing "Hail to the Victors" all year long. Cover features the Michigan school logo in chrome, mounted on a black powder coated base. Great gift for fans and alumni of the Maize and Blue.Well made and beautiful!
I love my new "Michigan" trailer cover! It looks fantastic on my new truck!
Overall this new hitch cover seems to be a good product. The logo is slightly off center, but I noticed that because I've read reviews pointing this out on similar covers (from other manufacturers).
Fast shipping and good customer service, BTW...
Very useful for hauling material in my short bed, tonneau covered F 150. Light in weight, multiple adjustments for use with both the bed and the tonneau racks, and I have received many complements on the look and functionality of the rack.
Exactly as described, fast shipping. This is a solid hitch cover, not a lightweight. Expecting to get years of use.
Thanks
The hitch cover is great - exactly as pictured and arrived promptly when expected. The shipping and delivery time was very fast! The quality is much higher than hitch covers we've used in the past, and looks great on the back of the truck. Would definitely order from this company again.
The distance between the holes and the logo cover is too far therefore the product does not fit snugly against the receiver. It can rattle and does not look good sticking out. This application is with a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Love the quality of the workmanship. I feel it’s a great compliment for our vehicle

Still looks like new! High quality construction
Looked great at first, but now one year later some of the black detail has worn off and it's hard to read the logo.
Michigan hitch cover looks great on my Nissan Titan! Very good quality and fit. Very pleased with the delivery time. Highly recommend this product....Thanks etrailer.
Looks good when you get it. Less than a year the M fell off. It’s just glued on. Garbage.
Product was as advertised, and even better quality! Quick shipping and great communications.
Thanks,
George

This product is awesome, and made of steel! Lasted thru the winter, and still looks great. Would recommend to any U of M fan.
The University of Michigan hitch cover arrived this AM & is exactly what I was looking for.
etrailer always ships quickly and product as described. Great doing business with.
EXCELLENT customer service. Was a little surprised that the emblem looks like the plastic sticker I bought for my husbands car, but over all pleased with the product.
Very Nice! We had a plastic one previously that was cheaply made and it broke within the 1st year. This is made much sturdier and should hold up a lot longer. We had two sons at U of M this year and we are very proud of both of them ... so we love to dispay our U of M SPIRIT!
Purchased this as a gift for my husband. We both were very pleased with the quality and appearance. Go Blue!
Product arrived promptly. Although I chose 2-day shipping and expected it on Wednesday, I received it on Thursday. Must have been a little mixed up with the holiday. It looks great.
Thanks!
Was very pleased with the quality of the products.
I have bought others that we made of plastic (for the same price); this one is solid steel and chrome. Great buy; nice looking.
Awesome product. Just as described. Extremely fast order processing and shopping!
Go Blue! Great Product..Great Retailer. Thanks!

Quality product delivered as promised!
