I ordered a class II aftermarket hitch to mount below my current class II. I agree, it looks goofy, but my class II is welded on and I really don't want to mess with finding a Ford replacement class III and paying for the welding work. Based on recommendations from other posts, removing the class II and installing the aftermarket is a bad idea because I would lose bumper and frame support. So I am wondering if anyone has tried to cover the old class II with some sort of filler plate that would match the bumper color and be hard to notice. Anyone have any experience or ideas? I'm not sure how to mount a plate, maybe into the hitch receiver?
