So unfortunately, my big grl became the latest victim of a driver not paying attention. Here in san antonio, you have to get on the hwys by access road. Waiting at the light, it turns green, traffic starts to move but stops abruptly, the person at the front stops and doesnt move. Anyway we stopped and the person behind us stops as well. The person behind him wasnt paying attention and rear ended that guy, whoch pushed his car into ours. Luckiky, no major damage to the car and we dont think were very much hurt but were still going to the Drs. The truck lost its tow hitch cover but did its job nonetheless.

Sorry to hear you were the sandwich, glad your ok though. I've been through my share of scrapes and crunches, luckily never on the motorcycles I've owned, well once, but it was a small English car, and just clipped my left foot. One of the benefits of being in a huge sheet metal giant like we drive, is situations like yours.

Glad to hear you're OK and sorry about your truck.

Bummer of a post, I was expecting a fresh take on a po' boy after reading the title.

That tow hitch cover is a surprisingly inexpensive $26 at Tasca. Shipping makes this a better buy at your local dealer though.

JL7Z-17F000-APTM is your part number. The PTM means Paint To Match, it'll come in dull black.

By ways of comparison, the PTM hitch cover for a 2017 & earlier Navigator is closer to $70.

Sorry for your bad luck. I tend to leave my ball mount and ball in the receiver hitch as added protection from rear end bumps. There are a couple plastic front bumpers out there with a hole in them from my hitch ball. No lost time, police accident report or damage to my rear bumper. If you do I suggest a locking pin for your ball mount.

Sounds like you all either don’t pay attention or follow way too close
