Video Transcript for Review of Tow Ready No Drill Mount Bracket - 18136
Today, we're going to take a look at the Tow Ready Long, No-Drill Mount Bracket for your vehicle end. Now, this bracket is designed to secure electrical connector on the back of your vehicle by your trailer hitch receiver, instead of just having your electrical connector, hanging down and getting damaged. This will attach to a square cross tube design trailer hitch I happened to pull in here just to demonstrate how this connects.It does come with this bracket, will come with this included hose clamp that holds it to the hitch. There's no drilling required, and it comes with the mounting hardware and install your electrical connector bracket to it. This is a nice powder coated steel construction. And basically what you end up doing is you notice it has a 90 degree bend on it.
So what you would do is just put this onto the top of the square tube and then just take your hose clamp, run it through around the square tube and then back through the clamp and then just tighten it down with a screw and it'll hold it into place.Again no drilling is required. It does give you the mounting brackets to attach your electrical bracket to. Now it will work with most 4-Way, 5-Way, 6-Way and 7-Way mounting brackets will attach to this. Now on the product page for this part number, it will list the part numbers of some of those brackets that'll work with this mount bracket. Now for this review, I've happened to pull a 7-Way bracket.
This is part number 118138 just to show you how this bracket all attached to the no-drill. You can see there's two holes here up at the top, and they have the holes here on the top here. You just line those holes up, use the included screws and attach it just like that. And then you'll install your connector right in here, the 7-Way on this one.Now it can be installed on the top of the hitch, just like this I'm showing you. If it ends up being too tall, he can see that when you do attach this, it is a little bit higher than your trailer hitch.
If that's going to be a little too tall, which you could end up doing, is you could put it on the underside and then the same way, run your hose clamp through there, tighten it down that way, and then that way it would lower it a little bit. So just depends on your application, which would work the best. Few dimensions on the bracket itself. The length of it, it's going to be right at six and a half inches. The width of it is right at three inches.
But that should do it for the review on the Tow Ready Long, No-Drill Mount Bracket for your vehicle end.

Purchased this to support the receptacle in the 7-way ETBC7 kit for a 2010 Honda Odyssey. I was initially skeptical that it would grab securely onto a round hitch pipe (Hidden Hitch) but it does. In the picture, readers can see that I intentionally installed this 18136 bracket "upside down". There are two reasons: (1) Aftermarket hitch receivers ride fairly low on Odysseys and occasionally mine will scrape the road if there is a steep grade change. Not a big deal, but I did not want the ETBC7 receptacle to scrape the ground and be damaged. This way, the 18136 bracket might scrape, but the receptacle will be protected. (2) Mounting upside down also raises the ETBC7 about an inch, so that it is not hanging lower than the hitch receiver. I also mounted the ETBC7's bracket "backwards". This sets the receptacle a tad inside the profile of the bumper, so that if a shopping cart or something hits the bumper it will be less likely to impact the receptacle. Very pleased with this part, it's sturdier than it looks and gives the ETBC7 a solid platform when you can't or don't want to mount directly into the bumper of your vehicle. 348565

Just attach the bracket to the hitch and then attach the connector to the bracket.
view full answer... - 7-Way Trailer Connector Mounting Bracket On A Hitch ReceiverI have the perfect option that will allow you to mount a 7-way trailer connector to your hitch receiver. For this, you will want to use both the No-Drill Mount Bracket part # 18136 and the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way part # 18138. For an ST175R80-13, you will need a spare tire cover designed to work with 24" tire and wheel combos. Unfortunately, we do not have a 24" tire cover with American flag logo. However, I have attached a list of our 24" spare tire covers for you.

This kit is absolutely compatible with the 4-way T-One Harness, has the proper wire needed for running to the battery and is designed for use with mobile brake controllers like the Curt Echo...

- Is a Relay Required for a Wiring Harness on a 2020 Acura MDXWhile you are correct that a wide variety of trailer wiring harnesses do require the installation of a relay, this is not the case for your 2020 Acura MDX. I recommend going with one of our Tekonsha wiring kits because we have found that their converter boxes tend to be the most reliable. For a 4-Way plug you need the T-One # 118628 but for a 7-Way plug you need the T-One # 118289 for a 7-Way plug. It is worth noting that even though you don't install any relays, you do need to install...
view full answer... - Differences Between Available Trailer Hitches for 2020 GMC AcadiaThe main difference between the two is that the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 76023 is mostly concealed behind the bumper, more like the OEM hitch would be, and the Curt # C13293 installs so that the receiver tube is right under the rear bumper fascia. Because of this, the Draw-Tite offers a better appearance as well as a couple of inches of additional ground clearance. I've provided you with side by side photos of what the hitches would look like once they're in place, as well as with...

- Installing 7-Way Trailer Connector so It Doesn't Get Destroyed Backing out the DrivewayHere'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...

- What Trailer Wiring do you Recommend for my 202 KIA TellurideFor your 2020 Kia Telluride we have a couple of wiring options. These will both offer a 4 way flat trailer connector. They are almost identical they install the same, have the same power output and are designed to protect your vehicle should there be any shorts on the trailer. Of the two I recommend the Tekonsha. They always seem to be the most dependable when it comes to custom fit wiring for passenger vehicles. I'v linked both for you to check out. As well as an installation video. Curt...
view full answer... - Differences Between Available Hitches for 2020 GMC AcadiaThe primary difference between the two is the height of the receiver tube once the hitch is installed. Both hitches use a crossbar that tucks up behind the bumper fascia for a clean looking installation but the Draw-Tite # 76023 will sit higher up on the vehicle and extend through the bumper fascia as shown in the provided comparison photo. This provides for improved clearance which could come in handy if you ever back out of steep driveways. For the trailer wiring harness, use part...

Both of the wiring kit upgrades come with the adapter you need for both 4-Way and 7-Way trailer connectors and...

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,...

However since the receiver tube will be in the center, you will need to move your foot to either side to operate it. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840.

- Will T-One Connector Fit 2018 Mazda CX-9 With or Without OEM HitchAccording to my research, and my contact at Tekonsha, the 2016 and 2017 CX-9 models both came with the connector for the T-One # 118278 as a standard. Since your 2018 Mazda CX-9 is the same generation it would be surprising if you didn't have that connector. I did check the online version of your owner's manual and it states on page 6-58 that the #8 "Trailer Hitch" fuse is only included on some models.

I also confirmed this with Curt as well just as a precaution.

However, you can use the No-Drill Mount Bracket part # 18136 in order to do so.
