$15 from Amazon. I got the one with the rubberized finish so it would grip the hitch better as temp fluctuates.

I got an MB-branded one on Amazon, and I like it. Opinions vary.

Yep, get the rubberized one with the retaining flap so when you go thru a car wash it wont disappear. Walmart has them too. https://www.walmart.com/ip/48360394?...&wl13=&veh=sem
