Tow ball plug

[ChronicReign]

I am not sure exactly what it is called, but I am looking for that little plug that fits on the back bumper where the tow ball should go. I have never had a tow ball on my truck, and never plan on getting one. And that hole that is there right now looks terrible. I know they make little plugs to put in there, but I have no idea what they are called (therefore making it difficult to search).

Anyone know what they are called, or where I can order one?

Most of the guys in here will tell you to get fid of the hitch, but I didn't worry about it and got one of these to put in the hitch.

Im not quite sure thats what he is talking about man...

He's talking about the bumper itself, where you can put a ball through it, there is a piece of the colored bumper missing. At least on my truck there is, as well as there is a hitch itself.

He is talking about a round flat 'black plug that goes in hole where the hitch ball would go thru.

The part number on the back of one looks like 1L54-17D754-ABW. Try the number at the ford dealer. It's just a black hard plastic insert.

Ya, I already dropped the actual hitch, I was looking for the bumper plug. Appretiate the part number, I didn't know it was an actual dealer part. I thought it was an aftermaket thing. Thanks!

I think I paid around 5 or 6 bucks for mine from a dealer ship. I also got little plugs for the drop tow chain holes.

I bought one about 5 months ago. My Ford dealer charged $15.00 for it. :fm:
It doesn't even fit all that well. Fits loose.
I wound up leaving it off because I was afraid to wear out the paint on the bumper due to plug rattling around all the time.
I don't think any Lightnings originally came with these plugs, did they?
