I don't think anyone would know the answer to this but I'm hoping someone at Ford will see this and take it into consideration.
In pictures of vehicles NOT equipped with a receiver hitch, there is a cover that appears to snap into place to cover the hole where the receiver and wiring access would otherwise be. It is a fairly large area. On those vehicles shown WITH a receiver, there is a lot of empty space around the receiver and wiring access and it looks really ugly and unfinished to me.
I suspect that all bumper covers are manufactured with the cover in place and if a hitch is installed the cover is popped out and discarded. My build includes the hitch. Is there any way Ford can simply include the cover so that I can trim it up myself and improve the appearance of that area or at least make it available for a minimum cost? It would also be nice to have if the hitch were removed for any reason.
