R&P Service Insight
A hitch ball cover is a small part, but it is useful for keeping the tow setup cleaner between uses. Before ordering, confirm the hitch ball diameter so the cover matches the ball size installed on your ball mount.
- Size Check: This cover is for 2-5/16" hitch balls.
- Cover Only: Hitch ball, ball mount, pin, and clip are not included.
- Best Use: Install when the trailer is disconnected and the hitch ball is not actively being used.

Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: R&P Carriages
Application Reference: Hitch ball size is the key fitment point for this item.
What This Means: This listing is for one 2-5/16" black hitch ball cover, not a hitch ball or complete ball mount assembly.
Before Ordering: Verify your hitch ball diameter. This cover is intended for 2-5/16" hitch balls only.
R&P Repair Insight
When choosing a hitch ball cover, the most common issue is ordering by appearance instead of ball diameter. Match the cover to the actual stamped or measured hitch ball size.
- Check Ball Size: Confirm whether your hitch ball is 1-7/8", 2", or 2-5/16" before ordering.
- Check Condition: If the hitch ball is badly worn, rusted, or damaged, inspect the towing setup before use.
- Use Correctly: Remove the cover before coupling a trailer to the hitch ball.
