7-Way Trailer Connector Mounting Location After Installing a Trailer Hitch, 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser

Question:

I am looking to buy the hidden hitch for the land cruiser 2004. I watched your video and you show/say that the factory light socket has to be removed because its in the way, but you dont show it being remounted. Do you sell a different mount I need to buy to relocate this socket?

I spoke with our installer you did the Hidden Hitch, # 87409, installation on the 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser that you see in the video. He stated that there is no specific place that you will have to mount the connector as long as it remains accessible. Depending on where you choose to mount it, you may or may not be able to re-use the original bracket.

If a different bracket is needed, I recommend the Trailer Connector Mounting Box, # 18159. This bracket fits square or round tube trailer hitches and is held to the trailer hitch with a hose clamp type of fastener, so no drilling is required. I have included a link to the video and a link to the installation instructions for the hitch.
