Will Locking Tab Cutout Be On Top or Bottom of Curt 7-Way on 2020 Ford F-350

Question:
Will this be flipped from OEM where the latch is on the top of the seven way connector instead of the bottom? The latch that holds the 7 way in

Expert Reply:
Hi Cary; I believe on Ford trucks like your 2020 F-350 the plug is oriented with the 7-way sitting on top of the 4-way. Assuming that is correct for your truck, the latch/locking tab you're referring to on the Curt # C42JR will be on the bottom. If the 7-way was sitting below the 4-way that part would be on the top. See the attached photo.
Are you replacing a damaged connector or adding one to your truck?
