Trailer hitch installation process courtesy of Juggernaut Performance

[Tricky Dick]

Note, just the hitch, no wiring. The below is copied from a FB post:

Here's a quick basic write-up of how to add the trailer hitch if you guys want to. We had a customer bring this to delivery, and we got it done real quick while he was signing some paperwork. It does require you to remove the spare and the rear bumper which is a very easy process.

For the bumper it is only held on by 6 bolts. Check out the picture below where we circled them. Start by removing the spare

• There are two 15 mm hex head bolts which also hold the tow hooks on each side.
• There is one 13mm hex head bolt facing parallel to the ground on each side.
• There is an easy to release electrical connector. One side for basic rigs, one on each side for fancier rigs.

From there you simply pull it off. Quick and easy.

If you are installing the hitch at this point you should have no issue seeing what happens. It has four bolts, and it's very obvious where it goes on the frame.

Thank you very much. If you get to the electrical part your help would be much appreciated.

Is that electrical connection pre ran from the factory and you just need to buy the finishing end?

No.

Tow prep package from the factory gives you both 7 and 4 pin connector.

The tow electrical accessory available from the catalog is just the 4 pin but includes a brain box that gets wired in somewhere in the rear of the vehicle. (Likely the rear lights, turning the PWM signals to 12v constant for the trailer without throwing codes.)

Thanks Zack, just hoping for some pics my Friend.

The picture is in your quote. The bumper has been removed.
