We took the cover off of our factory installed hitch. It's a hot mess back there.
So far, we are only using it for a bike rack, as I have a truck to tow anything legit with.
It is an ugly mess, and will only get worse with exposure to mud and snow. I understand that most won't use the hitch, so that is why it is hidden, but once the cover is off there are exposed clips, ugly hardware, and a bunch of other stuff exposed.
I want to get an extra cover to stick the rack through, or maybe have someone fab a piece to cover all the crap.
On a separate note ... it beeps continuously if you have a rack on the back, and there is not an easy way to shut off the rear parking sensors, and then it won't stay off.
