Video Transcript for etrailer Rubber 2" Hitch Cover Review
Hey, everybody, Ryan here at Etrailer. Today we're gonna be checking out the etrailer.com trailer hitch cover. So right off the bat, this is gonna work with the two inch by two inch hitches, like we have here today on our Jeep, just as an example, and there's also a smaller inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter version available. So if you've got the smaller size hitch, there will be a plug that fits that as well, but really a super simple part, and it's designed for a couple of different reasons. You know, one of 'em being to help keep dirt and junk from getting inside of the receiver tube here, help keep it in good shape, whether. You know, it's debatable how well that actually works, but in my opinion, it's definitely not gonna hurt anything as far as that goes.
So might extend the life of your hitch, especially if you use this, you know, when your hitch is new, like ours today, but more importantly, I think that this is mainly for the appearance. I think it makes it look a whole lot better and a lot more finished. So as opposed to just having that open tube there, you know, this pops in, (plastic smacking) and to me I like the looks of it, kind of gives it more of a clean appearance, and with this being made out of rubber, it can potentially kind of soften a blow too. You know, some hitches stick out past the bumper quite a bit, and if you we're to happen to kind of bump your leg or something while you're getting into your trunk or dropping your tailgate, not gonna hurt as bad. Like I said, this is made from rubber and one of the nice things about it is you don't need a pin and clip or tools or anything to use it.
You know, it's a press fit, and it's a tight fit at that. So that's all you gotta do to put it in there and pull it right out, and these seem to hold up pretty well. I can actually speak from personal experience. My father's had one of these for probably two and a half, three years now, and it hasn't dry rotted. You know, it still goes in there well and comes out just like it did when it was brand new, and he don't park in the garage either.
He lives on a country gravel road. So it's out in the sun all day getting beat up, and so it seems to hold up, at least so far. So can't really go wrong there. You know, there's a ton of different styles of hitch covers on the market, and this is probably one of the more simple ones. Probably gonna last longest in terms of it holding up, but in case you're looking for something a little bit different, you got kind of this style, which kind of doubles as a four-way flat trailer wiring holder as well.
So I just have this other cover on hand that would kind of plug in into there trailer wiring and be able to keep it stored, if you will, and the way these work is they go around your hitch share and then push in, which is pretty cool. You know, you kind of, you get that holder in there. My thought, though, with these, you know, it's nice that this can stay on there. You can plug your accessory in. You don't have to keep track of it or anything, but I don't really see that lasting too long to be quite frank with you because that part of the rubber is relatively thin. It's kind of a high wear area. I could eventually see this probably cracking and tearing and then, you know, you're kind of losing the function of that, but can't speak from personal experience. That's just my thought on it, and then if you're looking for some extra safety or a little extra lighting, you know, we have stuff like this too, which will illuminate, you know, when you're hitting your brakes and stuff. So that could go in with these. You know, a lot of 'em you're gonna need a pin and clip to keep it in place, but that push in there. You plug this part into your trailer wiring and you know, like I said, this will illuminate whenever you're applying your brakes. Other than that, at the end of the day, you know, there's really not a whole lot to it. It's gonna be a great way to help keep your hitch protected and look a little bit better whenever you're not using it.

Black rubber hitch cover protects your hitch receiver from dirt and debris when not in use. No pins or clips needed.by: Susan 03/13/2023
Works just fine on my 2" Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver, item #306-X7235I would highly recommend buying this item also.

Perfect...Just perfect
by: Rob02/13/2024
This is my second etrailer hitch (first one is on my 2010 Ford Escape). This hitch fits perfectly on my 2023 RAV4 hybrid. The holes lined up exactly with the frame holes. No bad words were needed :) The install video was very helpful. Like some other reviewers, I did not need to lower the exhaust. I'm using it to carry a hitch hauler / basket and bike rack.
The hitch arrived in perfect condition, although the box was extremely damaged in shipping. Fortunately the bolt package was securely taped to the hitch frame so it did not fall out of the holes in the box.
by: Craig R01/15/2024
Great website to shop from. I’ve bought several things from etrailer.com and have been very pleased with the quality as well as the after sales service provided. I picked up an electrical harness for my fathers vehicle last year and it was so simple and easy to install. It still works perfectly and was happy to buy the parts needed for my own vehicles trailer hitch and wiring. I bought a nifty little trailer wire tester that plugs into the vehicle side to assure that all is as should be before hitting the road. Very pleased and happy to recommend to anyone in need of anything trailer related.
by: Helen01/10/2024
Very happy with this hitch. Arrived in perfect condition. I took it to Uhaul to get it installed, and they were also happy with it. They said it was a perfect fit for my Sportage, and they installed it in double quick time, apparently. I use the hitch to carry my 2-bike rack and I've never had a problem. Very sturdy.
by: Bruce08/23/2023
Great product and fast delivery! Fits like a glove to my new 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. To use with a KUAT bike rack.
by: Gorak Shep02/12/2024
This cover keeps the receiver socket clean and makes the appearance neater. My receiver occasionally hits my driveway and this cover has not been knocked out yet. Good product.
by: Carl 11/07/2023
The items I ordered will allow me to adapt my utility trailer for transporting my sea kayaks. Curt and Hopkins are both quality manufacturers.
On a shipping note, the box arrived at the Post Office broken wide open. Your shipping folks need to wrap small, heavy, items in bubble wrap. Then stabilize it with foam peanuts. Just putting it in a box then stuffing the box with craft paper does not cut it. Items were not damaged so I am good to go.
by: Chuck 02/09/2024
After using for a year, the hitch cover still remains in place, is easy to install and remove, and still keeps the receiver clean.
by: Eric03/11/2023
semi hard rubber makes this cover fit nice and snug in the hitch receiver so that it will not fall out.
by: Richard01/06/2024
Perfect fit for our 2023 Honda Pilot. Hitch arrived in 2 days in perfect condition. Easy install. This is our third etrailer hitch.
by: Jim11/16/2023
The installation was easy, no issues. I have used the hitch for carrying bikes. I have also purchased a wiring harness but haven't installed it yet!
by: Hillary06/30/2023
Package arrived in a timely fashion and the instructions were very easy.
by: David11/06/2022
This is my second hitch purchase from e-Trailer. The hitch fits our 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid perfectly. I did the installation alone and had to use various means (blocks, tubs, straps) to hold it in place. Other folks recommended a second pair of hands. Probably a good suggestion. The hitch will allow us to add our bike rack and haul our bikes conveniently and safely.
by: Rod03/13/2024
Everything was perfect. All items shipped and arrived when stated. The video for installation was perfect.
Thank you.
by: Steven 02/08/2024
Fits 2" hitch as expected. I sprayed silicon lubricant on the contact surfaces to make it easier to remove in the future.
by: William 02/09/2024
Nice, heavy duty rubber. Solid product. Fits 2” hitch receiver like a glove.
by: Randy08/22/2023
I’m glad this 2” is available for the VW Gulf. This hitch is perfect for my uses. I like the low visibility and how solid it is. I tow a sailing kayak and transport 2 Ebikes frequently. The 2” hitch provides a sturdy connection for the Thule carrier. Couldn’t be more satisfied.
by: Timothy 09/08/2023
Great quality, good installation instructions, good support. It was easy to install and solid (high quality). Installed on a 2023 Honda Passport Trailsport. I plan on using this initially for a bike rack (a Swagman rack that I like a lot ). I may also look to tow a light trailer in the future for camping.
This is my second hitch purchase from you guys and both experiences have been great and exceeded my expectations. Thank you!
by: La Man03/11/2024
Pleasure to deal with, expedited shipping and was very informative with me drilling down what parts I needed for my 2024 RAV4. Only thing to mention, box was received with 5 holes torn in shipping. How all parts made it I’ll never know! Will be buying flat blk spay paint for repairing the bare metal.
by: Bruce02/04/2023
It worked great until I took the vehicle off pavement the first time and it fell off. Obviously a branch or something caught an edge and ripped it off. But that just lets me know this product can’t be used off pavement.

The cover came off first time off road when I went over a bump and drug my rear end. Need a product that sets inside the hitch without a lip.

@Bruce While we don't have anything that would sit only inside the receiver tube, the # I-728 would be smaller and features a retaining strap that will keep the cover attached to the receiver if it should get knocked off.
by: David09/02/2022
The quality of the trailer hitch is well constructed. Installed on a 2021 Toyota Hybrid Limited Highlander. Installation videos are great, didn’t take long to install. As other reviews have stated the lower panel requires very little modification to reinstall. Installation brochure shows to much plastic to cut, not necessary. The only disappointing/complaint I have is the foot sensor for the lift gate no longer functions, as I assume the hitch is blocking the sensor. Overall great product.
by: Edward04/17/2024
I haven't had this part long enough to review the part, but the service was excellent, on what I thought were missing parts in my trailer hitch was actually my fault. The screws were inside of the receiver like they said but my assistant did not look in the plastic wrapping close enough. Even though the service at etrailers knew that the correct parts were most likely included they didn't argue they quickly sent new bolts for the installation. My bad!!
by: Douglas12/29/2023
Prompt delivery, excellent product. Third trailer hitch I have purchased. Install videos are spot on. Thank you.

You can check your trailer information tag to see if the trailer manufacturer has rated the trailers GVWR to also include the tongue weight from the trailer. Personally I feel trailer tongue weight should not increase the weight capabilities for a trailer. As an example if a trailer has two 3,500lb axles, I feel the trailer and any cargo on it should never weigh more than 7,000lbs. But there...

If you have three good wheels on your trailer and don't have far to go you would be fine to limp to a repair shop. Be sure to have as much cargo out of the trailer as possible so that you don't exceed weight capacity of the single tire.

There are some trucks and trailers which use left hand threads on the left hand side wheels and tires but these are typically larger commercial applications. For your travel trailer I recommend switching your single wheel with the left hand threads you have over to right hand threads. This will help to reduce confusion and prevent damage to your hub since the left hand threads are not commonly used on the smaller trailers. It also ensures all your components are interchangeable so you don't...

- Troubleshooting Weak Trailer Wiring Where Lights are Really DimReally dim trailer lights indicates normally that the ground of the circuits is weak. I know you said you checked grounds but is the trailer maybe aluminum and the wiring of the lighting is trying to ground through aluminum? If so run the grounds all back to the main ground harness of the trailer connector. If you have another tow vehicle see if the problem persists on the trailer with a different vehicle. That will allow you to know if the problem is the trailer or vehicle.
