A hitch cover for use with a first hitch receiver having a first size and a second hitch receiver having a second size larger than the first size. The hitch cover includes a faceplate, a shaft that extends from the faceplate, the shaft configured to be received in the first hitch receiver to couple the faceplate to the first hitch receiver. The cover further includes an adapter including a first end, a second end, and an aperture extending through the first end, and a fastener that removably couples the adapter and the shaft. The shaft is received in the aperture of the adapter and the shaft and the adapter are configured to be received in the second hitch receiver to couple the faceplate to the second hitch receiver.

The hitch cover of claim 1, wherein the fastener includes an elastically deformable tab, wherein the adapter includes a projection within the aperture, and wherein the fastener engages the projection to couple the shaft and the adapter. 3. The hitch cover of claim 1, wherein the fastener is configured to couple the hitch cover without the adapter to the first hitch receiver. 4. The hitch cover of claim 3, wherein the fastener includes an elastically deformable tab including a generally cylindrical projection configured to be received in a locking pin aperture of the first hitch receiver. 5. The hitch cover of claim 4, wherein the generally cylindrical projection includes a cam surface configured to automatically deflect the elastically deformable tab when the shaft is inserted into the first hitch receiver. 6. The hitch cover of claim 4, wherein the fastener is a first fastener, the hitch cover further comprising a second fastener that is integrally formed with the shaft as a single component, wherein the second fastener includes an elastically deformable table including a generally cyclindrical projection configured to be received in the locking pin aperture of the first hitch receiver. 7. The hitch cover of claim 1, wherein the adapter includes an elastically deformable tab including a generally cylindrical projection configured to be received in a locking pin aperture of the first hitch receiver. 8. The hitch cover of claim 7, wherein the aperture of the adapter extends through the first end and the second end, and wherein the elastically deformable tab is adjacent the second end of the adapter. 9. The hitch cover of claim 1, wherein the fastener removably couples the adapter and the shaft such that the shaft and the adapter can be removed from the second hitch receiver as a single component. 10. The hitch cover of claim 1, wherein the shaft is a generally square shaft. 11. The hitch cover of claim 10, wherein the square shaft is a hollow generally square shaft. 12. The hitch cover of claim 10, wherein the generally square shaft is an approximately 1.25 inch by 1.25 inch generally square shaft. 13. The hitch cover of claim 1, wherein the adapter is not utilized to couple the faceplate to the first hitch receiver. 14. The hitch cover of claim 1, wherein the faceplate includes a groove that receives the first end of the adapter to couple the faceplate and the adapter. 15. The hitch cover of claim 1, wherein the adapter includes an alignment rail, wherein the shaft includes an elongated recesses, and wherein the alignment rail is received in the elongated recess when the adapter is coupled to the shaft. 16. A hitch cover for use with a first hitch receiver having a first size and a second hitch receiver having a second size larger than the first size, the hitch cover comprising: a faceplate;a square shaft that extends perpendicular from the faceplate and configured to be received in the first hitch receiver, the square shaft including a first elastically deformable tab configured to couple the faceplate to the first hitch receiver;an adapter including a first end, a second end, an aperture extending through the first end, and a second elastically deformable tab configured to removably couple the adapter to the square shaft;wherein the shaft is received in the aperture of the adapter and the shaft and the adapter are configured to be received in the second hitch receiver to couple the faceplate to the second hitch receiver, and wherein the square shaft does not extend into the aperture of the adapter to couple the faceplate to the first hitch receiver such that the adapter is not utilized to couple the faceplate to the first hitch receiver. 17. The hitch cover of claim 16, wherein the first elastically deformable tab of the square shaft includes a generally cylindrical projection configured to be received in a locking pin aperture of the first hitch receiver. 18. A hitch cover for use with a first hitch receiver having a first size and a second hitch receiver having a second size larger than the first size, the hitch cover comprising: a faceplate;a shaft that extends from the faceplate, the shaft configured to be received in the first hitch receiver to couple the faceplate to the first hitch receiver;an adapter including a first end, a second end, and an aperture extending through the first end;a fastener that removably couples the adapter and the shaft,wherein the shaft is received in the aperture of the adapter and the shaft and the adapter are configured to be received in the second hitch receiver to couple the faceplate to the second hitch receiver,wherein the fastener is integrally formed with the adapter as a single component. 19. The hitch cover of claim 18, wherein the fastener includes an elastically deformable tab at least partially located within the aperture of the adapter, and wherein the shaft includes a shaft aperture, and wherein the fastener engages the shaft aperture to couple the shaft and the adapter. 20. The hitch cover of claim 18, wherein the fastener removably couples the adapter and the shaft such that the shaft and the adapter can be removed from the second hitch receiver as a single component.
