• Bracket for Mounting 7-Way Install on 2019 Nissan Pathfinder with Curt Hitch
  Since the Curt hitch part # C13309 that fits your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't have a trailer wiring bracket (none of the hitches for your vehicle do) the best options is to use a bracket # PK12711U attached to the lower rear fascia so that you can easily mount the 7-way kit that also fits your vehicle part # C56357. I attached a picture that shows what the wiring connectors look like at the rear of your vehicle as well.

• Is Tekonsha 7-Way Compatible With Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller in 2014 Toyota Highlander
  Since the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness - 7-Way # 22119 gives you a complete 7-way on your 2014 Toyota Highlander, it is absolutely compatible with the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR.

• Special Drill Bit for Drilling Into the Bumper of a 1992 Chevy C/K Series Truck
  For hard to drill metal surfaces I recommend a rotabroach bit. We have several of these, see link, but they will probably be too large for for a 7-way mounting bracket. You can also try to use self-tapping screws like # 1172904 instead of drilling. For adding new wiring and brakes, I have included a link to a video that should help. For a 1992 Chevy C/K series truck, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular controllers because it is easy to set up and easy to use.

  I have a mounting option for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13514, does not have a built in mounting bracket for part # PK12711U. Instead, I recommend using our no-drill mounting bracket, part # C57202, along with the mounting bracket you referenced, # PK12711U. The no-drill bracket will wrap around the round tube crossmember of the hitch to provide a mounting point for the 7-way bracket.

• Installing 7-Way Trailer Connector so It Doesn't Get Destroyed Backing out the Driveway
  Here's what I'd recommend. If you have an exposed portion of the hitch crossbar to work with, use the # 18136 no drill bracket. This fastens to the hitch crossbar using an included pipe clamp. You'll also use the # PK12711U 7-way mounting bracket. I'd begin by mounting the trailer connector to the # PK12711U, so that the mounting flange is at the bottom. Then, attach that to the # 18136 but just leave it finger tight for the moment. Put the # 18136 up against the underside of the hitch...

  I highly recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 76184 and either the 4-Way T-One # 118761 with mounting bracket # 18144 or the 7-Way T-One # 118287 with mounting bracket # PK12711U over the GM tow package for your 2020 Chevy Traverse.

• How to Mount a 7-Way Connector on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder with the Curt Hitch # C13309

• Mounting 7-way Trailer Connector to 2016 Volvo XC90
  You won't need to cut the bumper fascia to install a 7-way. We used a # 18136 no-drill bracket that attaches to the hitch crossbar using a pipe clamp. Since the Draw-Tite # 76194 hitch crossbar is concealed behind the bumper, the # 18136 bracket can be installed to the underside of the hitch crossbar with the L-bracket for the 7-way extending upward at a 90° angle. If the 7-way you'll be using didn't include an L-bracket, you can use # PK12711U. If you're needing a brake controller,...
