R&P Service Insight
For trucks, trailers, and utility towing setups that sit outside or see regular use, a hitch ball cover helps keep the exposed ball covered when the trailer is not attached.
- Check the Size: Confirm your hitch ball is 1-7/8" or 2" before ordering.
- Seat the Cover: Press the cover fully over the ball so it sits securely.
- Remove Before Towing: Take the cover off before connecting a trailer coupler.
