Best and Easiest trailer hitch and wiring harness

[ibock]

Hi all,

I was wondering if y'all could help me pick the easiest and most affordable tow hitch and wiring harness for 2022 2 door Bronco. I looked on line and there are so many options.

Probably not the most affordable, but it'll give you the most factory-like solution:

• Hitch Assembly
• Wiring Harness

If you don't need a 7-pin harness and just need a 4-pin, then you can save some money and a LOT of time.

MANY options available for 4-pin harnesses. Curt has one (or this one, if you don't have LED taillights) that is pretty good, and Ford also offers one on the Accessories website. There is also plenty more online on places like Amazon, but those are often generic kits and not Bronco-specific... so you may have to get a bit hacky to install them.

I self installed the Curt hitch and Curt’s 4 pin harness. It was a pretty easy install. I purchased both from etrailer.com.

Dumb question, but with the Curt 4 pin on non LED, do you need to run a power wire to the battery or do they just work off the harness

Not a dumb question as the instructions were pretty horrible. I believe both taillight versions get run to the battery. This took me longer because i put all my wiring in plastic automotive conduit and snaked the battery wire in and out of the frame as i went.

Budget Bronco on YouTube has a good install video. The curt instructions mention grounding one of the wires. I have LED rears and grounded it, which left me with no stop lights if I remember (I've slept since then). Mr. Budget Bronco himself has a comment, ironically in the comments section of his video, that discusses the need, or lack thereof, to ground this wire.

Mine worked great after I reattached the wire to itself instead of grounding it. Hope this helps.

Run a wire to the battery.

I found the instructions pretty good...

I have this one and the bolts go in from the opposite side than most so it was a simple 10 minute install .

i went with the draw-tite extended hitch and the Curt non-LED wiring harness. The hitch is a breeze, you'll take about as long reading the instructions as installing it. The harness was pretty easy except for the battery connector. It all works good for towing a 18' boat and it was roughly $220 for the two.

I thought UHaul's price of around $480 was not bad.
