Mopar 2" Hitch Receiver Plug with RAM Head Logo — Santoprene, Retention Strap & Wiring Holder

This genuine Mopar accessory is built to the same standards as factory parts and is designed to keep dirt, water and road debris out of your 2" receiver when a ball mount or accessory is not installed. Molded from durable santoprene, the plug resists shrinking, hardening, cracking, chalking and discoloration so it maintains a clean appearance and functional fit season after season. The package includes a retention strap and a holder for a four-way wiring connector so common trailer wiring stays secure and accessible.

How does this plug protect my vehicle’s hitch when not in use?

The plug creates a tight barrier at the receiver opening to prevent moisture, salt and grit from entering the hitch tube. Keeping contaminants out reduces corrosion risk and makes reinstalling towing hardware easier because threads and mounting surfaces stay cleaner.

• Molded santoprene forms a weather-resistant seal against water and dirt.
• Retention strap keeps the plug attached to your vehicle to prevent loss.
• Protects internal hitch surfaces from road salt and debris that cause rust.
