truck nuts

Trailer hitch ornament

Truck nuts are plastic or metal novelty accessories shaped like testicles, designed to hang from a vehicle's rear bumper or trailer hitch.

They signal a certain masculine bravado or crude humor, most associated with pickup trucks and rural American culture: He had a pair of chrome truck nuts swinging from his hitch.

Some jurisdictions have attempted to ban them as obscene.
