Question to those who have installed the Draw-Tite or Curt hitches. I want to install the OE 7-pin harness kit instead of the aftermarket 4 pin to enable me to use trailers w/ brakes, so I have more flexibility. I see that the OE hitch has a flange bracket welded direct to the hitch that allows the receptacle to be fixed mounted.
However, the Curt & Reese mounts don't have this feature. I scoured the forums, and haven't seen anyone's setup I've mentioned. I was looking to see if and how others might have this done.
I'm thinking there has to be a bracket that I could screw to the hitch & mount the socket to. I'd imagine that additional cutout of the bumper would also be in order.
Since I probably won't be towing all that often, i'm also probably cool w/ a method that would just have the socket inside the vehicle, and dangle it out when towing. In fact, that's probably preferred now that I think about it
