All,

I dropped tow package, like many others have done, so now I'm stuck installing the trailer hitch and Curt wiring harness, dang it. I purposely ordered our '18 Jeep JL without a tow package - cause, y'know I'm so smart and I figured I'd save some money. Well what a pain in the ass that was to install! Sure, the hitch is easy and takes all of 5 minutes. But the wiring harness took me at least an hour and a half or two hours and I swear I made up at least three new curse words :LOL:

So I'll be able to install it on my new Bronco with no problem. The issue is, what are y'all doing with the 4-pin plug? On my Jeep, I just use the rubber protector thing to tie it to the hitch. Doesn't look great. Is there a nice metal plate, or even better, a pop-out flip open "door" that any of you have used? Something that would install in the bumper would look best.

Just seeing if anyone else has come up with a cool, innovative method to install? No use re-inventing the wheel.

Sweet! Thanks so much! If anyone has a picture of where they installed it, that would be much appreciated too.

I’ll order this today!
