Depth of Plug to 90 Degree Angle on Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Harness

Question

Question:

What is the depth of the plug from the back of the receiver to the 90 degree? I have a previous hole that only has a depth of 3-1/4 inches.

It is just under 3-1/2" from the back of the plug to the back edge of the plug at the 90 degree angle on the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness # 50-97-410. However, if you use the spacer which is included (which is shown in the photo I've added) then the plug will have plenty of room to fit.

This harness is confirmed to work with your 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty with factory 7-way. I've attached links to video reviews for you to take a look at as well.
