It may work depending on the size of your emblem adhesive part as it has a 3" diameter face, so it does have a good amount of room. With that said, you can get the AMG State of Texas 2-Inch Hitch Cover, part # AMG102219, to fit in a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. This would require the use of the Brophy Hitch Adapter, part # HTAD. Using this will slide into your 1-1/4...
