So i thought it would be a good idea to install my trailer wiring kit yesterday here, on a great day, 65 degrees to start, 90s by mid day, easy install right? Kinda, but no.

Anyone doing this themselves, id say give your self 3-4hrs. and dont do it in summer heat...🥵you need to take off both the rear of inside panels, the tail lights, fenders, trim around the tail lights and trying to run the power wire through that factory rubber grommet is not easy. i soldered my connections so there was that, however on the good side i was able to to finish sound matting the driver side rear.

Advice. get a buddy to remove parts while you run wires.

/end rant. :LOL:

Or you can get the Curt Plug - n - play kit and only have to deal with less than half of that nonsense. My biggest time suck was encasing all the wiring in conduit. I also had to re-do a portion of the install due to poor instructions and my failure to read the comments associated with a YouTube video of the installation. A competent installer (besides me) would have it installed in no time at all. <- Sounds like I’m being a real asshat to the OP. Nope, just trying to direct others away from all that panel pulling nonsense, unless you have other mods that require it.

Oh 100% crazy for that install. Maybe if I hadn’t gotten the wiring harness for cheap, I’d prob have gone curt.

I guess biggest thing to take away from this is, if you chose to have the dealer do the wiring install, maybe re think it, I bet they’d charge $$$$

and yes I had Sound matting to do on the panels I took off, as well as down the wheel wheels and other frame areas

Curt 4 pin plug-n-play kit- 30 minute install start to finish.

Now, my 7 pin kit took a lot more time..... that sucked.
