tow hitch cover modification

[tominwi]

Bought a Weathertech 18” step to fit in the receiver and it completely covers the tow hitch hole on my ‘24 Expedition.

Yeah need pics. I find no 18" step for the Expy, only 12" and 24".

Yep I parked our other truck in the garage and Wife walked-into the hitch ball. I'd left it on cuz was about to leave and needed it.

I've learned to remove it, or otherwise to put a bucket or something over the top of it so as not to harm Wife or myself!!!!

I have done that too. Now when the hitch is on and the vehicle parked at home, I stick a long magnetic pickup wand with a rag on top as a warning.
