4-Pole Trailer Connector Mounting Options for 2009 Ford Flex
Question:
I have a 2009 Ford Flex w/ std engine and exhaust. I want to install your Hidden Hitch and wiring harness, but would like the clean look and function of a capped 4 connector for trailer wiring, similar to the 7-blade connectors found on many factory installed hitches. What products would you recommend?

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite # 75679 would be great choice. For the trailer wiring harness, I'd recommend the # 118472 T-1 connector.
I have two suggestions for how to attach the 4-pole connector to the vehicle. You'll need a long no-drill bracket, part # C57202, as well as the # 18144 mounting bracket. The 4-pole will push into the mounting bracket from behind. Your other option would be to use the same # 18136 bracket, along with the # RM-910030-5 bracket. You'd then use a # HM47605 knockout adapter. Either alternative would provide a clean looking installation.
I've linked you to some installation videos you might find helpful.
