Tow Hitch Covers: Express Yourself!

It is a delightful thing when the purely practical can be seamlessly combined with creative expression. We install tow packages on our vehicles to get stuff from A to B but we use tow hitch covers to express some aspect of ourselves.

Now there are plain covers available, and they are masterfully understated, but why not use the space to say something about yourself. Some tow vehicle owners have gone one step further and taken the desktop family photographs and relocated them on their tow hitch. Yes, it is now possible to send in photographs of loved ones and have them made into a personalized cover that is finished in a fiberglass reinforced plastic that won't fade.

If you prefer to keep it more generally thematic there are the sports, military and collegiate covers that proclaim your particular affiliations. The tailgater cover with bottle opener is also a popular one as well as the novelty ones like skulls with eyes that light up. Like everything else in life there are the classy covers made of good solid materials and then there are the tawdry, nouveau riche ones that forget that all they are is a hitch cover.

Most tow package ornamentation requires a pin and clip to secure it and these normally have to be purchased separately. You can also purchase hitch cover kits that include a ballmount bag and hitch lock.

The best tow hitch covers don't take themselves too seriously, are somewhat understated, but make good conversation pieces.
