09 LTZ hitch cover

[njlinuxmike]

Well, my 3 week old (to me) Tahoe was rear-ended today, destroying the hitch cover. Does anyone know the best route to a replacement? Do they come painted? Mine is the larger size one that has the locking tabs on the bottom that hold it in place.

Thanks

Mike

Think your best bet would be ebay.

rear

is that the only damage it did?!

the person who hit you gets to pay for it, no?

I was told that they do not make hitch covers for LTZ. I have an 07 and I want to get one. Any siggestions?

Someone gave you bad info. My '09 LTZ came with the [factory] cover.

my LTZ came with a cover as well.

i think in 09 the ltz got the same bumper as the denali which includes a hitch cover. so the 07 ltz wouldnt come with a hitch cover unless you change to the denali rear bumper. or get one off ebay that just slides into the hitch receiver and i imagine it would be a pain in the ass to open everytime you wanna tow! just my 2 cents

Ya the 07's didnt come with a hitch cover but you should be able to buy one that fits.

I have an 08 Tahoe meaning I got the older bumper and got a trailer hitch cover from ebay that snaps into the hitch receiver. Came unpainted and got it painted summit white to match the rest of the bumper. Looks good but not as good as a conversion to the denali/esky bumper with the built in trailer hitch cover!

Yeah that thing looks funny. My bumper cover was stabbed with a forklift so I put on an Escalade one that had the hitch cover. Looks great.
