Hitch Receiver Covers Reveal the Real You

Some people like to think that all hitch receiver covers do is serve a practical purpose. They believe they are solely there to offer protection to the otherwise vulnerable receiver opening. Other people see yet another occasion to embellish or augment.

You can tell a lot about a person by the hitch cover they choose. First there is Mr. Still Water's Run Deep who is not going to reveal anything to anyone least of all on the rear end of his vehicle. To this man, or woman, the cover is just that. A cover, a plug. They get a rubber or plastic one and then don't give it another thought.

Then there is Mr. Classic, polo necks and everything somewhat understated. He'll choose a trailer hitch that will echo his good taste in cars. It will bear the vehicle logo with a restrained pride.

Next you have the gaggle of the masses, those who have something to say. They want something that makes a statement whether it is for or against. They'll use their receiver cover to proclaim their heartfelt support for the troops, the military, the country or just their favorite sports team. For this group there are flags, yellow ribbons, team emblems and logos.

The rest of the hitch receiver covers poke fun, ask questions, make threats or just light up when you hit the brakes. There are smiley faces, scary dragons and sinister skulls. This relatively recent form of expression offers a broad number of options so that you and your car can wear something that is so YOU that people will stop and take notice.
