Today we're going to be taking a look at the Star Wars Darth Vader Trailer Hitch Cover for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches, part number PC002282R01, also available in Storm Trooper, part number PC002280R01. You can show your support for the rebels, part number PC002279R01, or the Empire with part number PC002281R01. Together you and Darth Vader can rule the galaxy or the highway. This unit is going to allow you to protect your hitch receiver. It's an all metal cover that's painted in a chip-resistant black enamel on a rustproof, brushed aluminum face plate. This unit is designed to slide into your 1-1/4" by 1-1/4" or 2" by 2" trailer hitch receiver. It's got the nine brackets here on the back, a couple different mounting holes. You're also going to have the 2" bracket with three mount hole locations. It's a really simple installation, all you got to do is slide the bracket inside your receiver tube, line up the hole that's best going to work for your particular hitch, then you'll need to slide in a 1/2" pin and clip, when using 1-1/4" brackets.
If you're going to use a 2" bracket you need to use a 5/8" pin and clip. These are available and sold separately. For the 1/2" you can use part number PC2 and for the 5/8" pin and clip you can use part number PC3. With this fully installed it's going to help keep out any rust, dust, dirt or debris. If you want to lock this to your hitch you can add a hitch lock. If you're using a 1-1/4" bracket that will be part number 63147.
For the 2" hitches part number 63232. Those are going to be sold separately. That's going to do it for today's review of the Star Wars Darth Vader Trailer Hitch Cover for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, part number PC002282R01. .

Together, you and Darth Vader can rule the galaxy - or the highway. Protect your hitch receiver with this all-metal cover displaying your favorite Sith Lord painted in chip-resistant black enamel on a rustproof, brushed aluminum faceplate.It looks great! I am sure my husband will be excited!
Love the hitch and hitch cover that was ordered. Great customer service with this company. Will definitely be spreading the word about this awesome company!!!!
Good product, way more heavy duty then I would have thought.
Thanks e-trailer
Love my hitch over! Use it all the time!
Looks fabulous!
just right
Emblem is crooked due to design of mounting brackets on the back not aligning correctly when installed.
Much bigger that I thought. It's so cool. I love it. The on[ly con is that if you pull into a steep driveway, cut the wheels because it will scrap. It survived!
Super fast shipping, easy assembly and looks great, also bought a locking pin for security. Overall a great looking product
real nice ! I'm going to have to get a lock for it now before it goes missing !
Good people, good products at a fair price is my experience.
Exactly as expected and fast shipping! Easy install, quality material. Hawk really likes his new hitch plug =)
The transaction was smooth and seamless. The products even cam early!!! ETrailer is great to work with. (and so is John Deere!)
Some Assembly required, but not much. I am still waiting on the hitch to arrive from etrailer, so have not put this cover to use yet but it looks like a sturdy piece about 3/8" thick and held in by the receiver pin. It is primarily plastic with a brushed Aluminum face and "jeep" embossed on it. It should show up well even after several trips up and down Alabama dirt roads and add a little of the jeep mystique to the new excessively curvy Cherokee my wife bought. Sorry, no hitch in the picture.
Great product, still has it's colour and no rust 1 year later!! Would buy again if necessary
The bracket was a little snug for my 1-1/4" hitch but with a little wiggling it is firmly in place and locked. It looks as cool as it does online.
This product looks cool and it's even better on the vehicle.
I drive a Lexus CT200h (no modifications). Here's what I can tell you after a year of having it on the vehicle:
- The cover measures 4 1/2" in diameter - it's bigger than I expected. That dimension is critical for fit between the receiver and bumper. And it just fits on my vehicle.
- The cover is cast aluminum and does not give if it hits something. Within a couple of months on the vehicle the bottom of the cover somehow cracked off. I would recommend this product only for trucks and SUVs.
The hitch cover looks great the only thing that makes it 4 stars instead of 5 is the screws did not want to screw in all the way. I had to keep screwing them in and out with force several times to get them completely seated.
Great product. I was actually expecting it to be somewhat cheaply made, but to my surprise, it's really solid and heavy-duty. I like dealing with eTrailer because shipping is fast and price is fair.
My Husband loved it! It was exactly what you described! Thank you!
I like the way it looks on my truck.
Awesome item! Not a flaw on the hitch cover. Had a small hiccup with the economy shipping, the box was lost for about a week. BUT, I can't brag enough about the service of etrailer trying to find it. Thanks, to Mike, Rebecca, & Jennifer for putting up with me and finding my item. I don't know who Jennifer called or what she said but WOW!, that box showed up fast after that. Great items and out-of-this world customer service!!!!
