What Mounts Can I use for 7-Way 118242 with Hitch 87183 On my 2003 Ford F-150
Question:
Vehicle: 2003 Ford F-150 Styleside Hitch: 87183 Wiring: 118242 What box or bracket/s combination do you suggest to mount the 7 pole receptacle?

Expert Reply:
We have a couple different mounting brackets you could use, like part # 18138 or part # PK12711U. You can attach these to the bumper or part of the vehicle.
You could also mount a box to the hitch # 87183 using part # 18159. These boxes use a clamp to attach to the hitch so there is no drilling into the hitch or vehicle.
