In Bed Trailer Wiring For 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

Question

Question:

I have 2021 2500HD. The factory left me trailer wiring provisions behind the driver side rear bed. There is a blank cover in the hole. The blank is round on one end and squared off on the other. I looks identical to the one I have in my bumper, and the one I need for my bed. Is this true. Is #HM11141144 what I need to install the trailer outlet in my bed? Thanks

You will actually be needing the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM54FR for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. This will ensure you have the correct wiring and length needed to install in your truck bedside.

The # HM11141144 is for a Chevrolet Colorado.
