Trailer Hitch Receiver Plug
When I bought my GL in 2007 the factory hitch came with a nice receiver plug.

It isn't easy finding a similar replacement, as I prefer the unadorned plug and not any with a Mercedes Star or Denver Broncos logo.

I've discovered a great replacement in Audi part number 7L0-803-593, which to add to the coolness factor is made in Germany.

You can google the part number to find an online source ... I used Audi Midwest in Omaha where price was $9.95

Nice find, I prefer mine a little bit more utilitarian rather than decorative.

I got one from Amazon for my ML but it was squishier than the OEM part that came with my GL and eventually fell out of the hitch. I'll have to check out the Audi part.
