Hitch installed today

[JohnnyBs25Prestige3.5T]

I ordered the OEM harness from the link above (should be here next week) and now have a Draw-Tite Class-3 hitch sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. Install looks simple enough, worse part will probably be un-bolting and moving the exhaust out of the way to get the hitch up into position. Now for some warmer weather.......

but the wiring instructions say to install wiring BEFORE the hitch. I didn't buy the OEM wiring harness until after I installed the hitch myself. The wiring goes through the bottom of body panel and requires removing heat shield that is about ¼" away from the installed hitch frame!

Good info to know, thanks.

The hitch is easy enough if you have an extra pair of hands and ramps. Jack and stands will work too. The exhaust is easy to move. Simply pull away on the 4 rubber hangers from the exhaust (leaving them on the car). Lower the exhaust and install the hitch. Raise the exhaust back up and press rubber hangers back into place.
Let me know if the 6-pin plug in your car is male or female as well as the 6-pin plug on the harness. Mine seem to both be boys.
Thanks!
