Question:

The C13315 has several inches between the cross bar and the receiver. If you use the bracket you attached won't the plug will be up behind the bumper?

Expert Reply:

We have quite a selection of mounting brackets. My favorite that will fit your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13315 is the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way # 18138. The hose clamp is used to secure this bracket to the trailer hitch.

I have attached a link with some available brackets to this answer page.

With this issue there are two options, you can use # 18138 and drill it into the fascia next to the hitch. Or use this product to solve your issue Curt Easy Mount Bracket for 4- or 5-Way Flat and 6- or 7-Way Trailer Connectors # C58000. # C57202 is also an option for the longer no drill bracket.
