To attach the 4-Pole flat connector in the Tow Ready T-One Connector Wiring Harness, part # 118491 to your bumper, you will need to use a mounting bracket like the Tow Ready 4-Pole Flat Mounting Bracket, part # 18144. The bracket is 2-1/4 inches wide overall and comes with two self tapping screws and two Phillips head stove bolts and nuts.

It can be attached to your bumper by drilling two holes and use the included self tapping screws. If you do not want to drill you can use the No-Drill Mount Bracket, Long # 18136 or Short # 18140. These brackets attach to the trailer hitch with clamps and do not require any drilling.

Another option is the Hopkins Mag-Flat 4-Pole Mounting Magnet, part # 38095. This is a magnetic bracket that will hold your 4-Pole flat connector and attach to any metal surface using the magnet.

The wiring harness part # 118491, does not come with a mounting bracket for attaching to a bumper.

I am including a video link of the wiring harness being installed on a 2010 Honda Pilot and a link to the installation instructions. Also, I am sending a video link of the mounting bracket # 18144, being installed on a Acura MDX.
