Where to Ground Brake Controller Wiring Adapter 3041-P in 2019 Toyota 4Runner

Question

Question:

I ordered the 3041-P for my 4 runners. I just want some clarification on where I can put my ground wire can I use an existing bolt? And if I cant where should I drill the self-tapping screw? If you could send a picture that would help. Thank you.

I have added a photo from the linked installation video of a brake controller install on a 4Runner that shows where you can ground the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers # 3041-P.

This is on a '17 4Runner but the grounding point will be the same for your 2019 Toyota 4Runner, under the dash. If you go to about the 3:45 mark of the video you can see this taking place, and you will be using the adapter's self-tapping screw.
