I am looking for a partnumber for the aftermarket hitch kit, I need just the bezel highlighted in the photo.
I am starting to tow a lot or have bikes on back I am tired of the flat cover that goes over the hitch.
I have searched high and low for the item on the parts site, but I am either not putting in the right request or it's sold with the hitch only

It's your lucky day, I just went through the same exercise and bought it
The part # is GB5Z-17F000-A but it do not fit
It is smaller the the cover that you have now
My guess is that you have to cut and trim the original , non -hitch bumper cover .
In another word is is not designed to replace the cover you have now
 






well that sucks...
I wonder what model explorer it's for then?
I hate the look if it exposed like it is. I thought this would be a home run.
 






as I said, I believe that it is designed to fit after you cut and trim the original, non-towing package bumper
 






Ahhh, Light bulb just went off.... must be the Turkey overload :)

when you bought yours did it come with a template?
assuming you didn't install yet. Thanks for the help.
 






no because if there is a template it must come as part of the kit which is included with the hitch and only for the 1 piece bumper. Not like for mine and your that has a separate cover for the receiver
