Hitch on and wired
When I purchased my SSR I ordered the reciever that plugs into the hitch which is hidden behind the rear facia.
This reciever comes without the ball, purchase one at any auto parts place.
The wire harness is located under an electrical tape mess. In other threads the location was a little sketchy.
Let it be knowm, if you lay on your back under the SSR you will notice a few things.
The battery is on the left( while on your back)
The trailer hitch is centered with a plastic plug covering the reciever port.
The wire harness is sealed in electrical tape and wrapped to the plastic wire harness. On the right frame rail. Hidden is the key here the wires you want are 4 in number and coloured white, yellow, brown, & green
Take a pocket knife and with caution not to hack up the wire harness remove the tape holding the 4 wire to the harness. They will appear as 4 independant wires.
These are the same colours as the flat trailer harness.
On the end of the now exposed 4 wires are shrink wrap seals.
The proper way to connect the standard flat harness is to solder and reinstall shrink wrap sealers. The shrink wrap must be slipped over the wires prior to soldering the wires.
The crimp couplings work but are not as strong.
The choice is up to you.
The custom hitch that wust be purchased is a very well designed piece.
Prior to installing on the truck look in your manual and a couple of practice installs will be required to get the nack of loading the spring and lock system.
Then hook up and party
