How to Mount 7-Way Connector on Curt Trailer Hitch for 2020 Toyota Highlander

Question

Question:

This hitch receiver was recommended to me for my 2020 Highlander with weight distribution. My question is how would you mount the 7 pin wiring harness receiver since the bar on this hitch takes up so much space? Thank you!

The best way to mount your 7-way on your Curt # C45CR is with the Curt No-Drill Bracket # C57202. The hose clamp will wrap around the cross tube on your hitch and allow you to mount a bracket like the # PK12711U to hold your 7-way connector.
