Bosal hitch receiver dust cap

[slyguy_28]

We recently bought a 2023 Model X Plaid and the prior owner not only kept the tow package that came with the car, it looks like they may have used it once (car only has 2,200 miles) and when they did they removed the dust cap and took that with them too. We’re gonna buy another tow package kit but in the meantime, I’d like to replace the cap to keep the receiver and all its grease clean. Anybody know where I can find that cap? Thank you.

I attached pictures I took when I removed the outer cover to see what was left behind.

I have a brand new 2023 MXP took delivery Dec 23, just installed the hitch and realized mine did not have a dust cap on it at all.

Your new Plaid X came with the "Towing Package", right? I was watching a video where someone was installing the hitch on their Model X and it shows the dust cap. I'd like something to keep that greasy area clean when I'm not running a hitch. Ugh. I'll keep looking around.

Hey everyone, you can easily make a dust cap out of duct tape! Probably will be better than the one that comes with it.
