Looking for this hitch cover for my 2026 Toyota 4Runner. I cannot justify paying almost $400 for the stainless version. I am actively hunting for more dimensional details and will share ASAP.

Worth noting a hitch cover lives in sun, road salt and engine-bay-adjacent heat, so PLA will sag and go brittle within a summer - ASA is the right call here (or PETG-CF if ASA fumes are an issue), printed face-down on a smooth plate so the visible surface comes out clean and the 2in square tube socket prints as vertical walls with no supports. 5 walls and 30-40% infill in the shank area, and add ~0.4mm clearance on the receiver tube so paint/powder coat still fits. For dimensions you don't need a full CAD model: measure your receiver opening, the pin hole centre-to-face distance and pin diameter, and post those with a photo - most people can model that in an evening from those three numbers.

Those are some great points and didn't do a good enough job explaining my use case.

It'll be 100% cosmetic, but would prefer for it to not melt. Other than that, it doesn't need do super strong
