Mounting Bracket for 7-Way Trailer Connector Installed on a 2013 Nissan Frontier
Question:
The details for my hitch and wiring specified some parts sold separately but did not mention I needed to purchase a mounting bracket separately. I purchased 87539 Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2inch 118266 Nissan Tow Package Wiring Harness with Relays, 7-Way Which mounting bracket and hardware since some dont include mounting bolts do I need? Ive checked locally and this wiring harness seems to be non-standard and will not fit the brackets Ive found. I want to get the right one before I have to pay shipping back and forth on this extra part. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Since the 7-Way part of wiring harness # 118266 for your 2013 Nissan Frontier can be surface mounted, a mounting bracket isn't mentioned but is listed on the right hand side of the page under Related Items.
The recommended bracket listed is # PK12711U. To use this without attaching it directly to the truck you can use short bracket # 18140 or long bracket # C57202.
Curt also has a neat bracket that attaches around the receiver, # C58000. I have included some video links on these last two brackets for you.
