sounds like you have the heavy duty jobbie and have just taken the big tongue piece out or whatever you call it.
to get rid of the big rusted spare square exhasut, you'll have to take off the rear bumper then undo all the bolts holding that part to the body. then it wont be there, and if your bumper needs a cap to fill the towbar gap, find one from an auto wrecker.

I got one from Ford a couple of years ago - $15, then it cost me $20 for a spray can of matching paint.

What you have is the Hayman Reece 2300kg tow hitch if all you did was pull the hitch out of the sleeve it sits in. If that's the case you can buy a chrome blanking plate that will slide back into the sleeve and fix into place with the retaining pin you would have removed to get the hitch out.
