Plug for rear bumper ??

hi all, i just got an 06 f150 screw, and i was wondering if ford makes some type of plug to use in the rear bumper where you would mount a tow ball. i just want to have it look cleaner than it is with the big hole showing..... thanks !!

Some dealers put there advertising in there. You might ask them, or go to the local parts store and check out their inventory.

Congrats on the new truck!

There are tons of hitch covers available. Just go to about and site that sells truck stuff. You can get ford ones, sports ones, or funny ones. Personally I have and 6 inch drop pintle hook. Cars just get way too close in traffic and that keeps them away. Also keeps me on my toes so I don't walk into it, because it hurts when you do, and you can guess how I know. Also whitecrystal 1, you better get a pin in that of your new cover will be your old one!!

hi guys, thanks for the replies.... i was actually referring to the hole in the bumper itself..... i already have a cover for my hitch receiver. maybe just a basic grommet style plug would work for me.
