15+ F150 - Breakaway Cable anchor?
For those with a current model F150, any recommendations on where/how to anchor the breakaway cable? I've never liked anchoring it to the hitch, as it would do no good in the case of a hitch fail...

Thanks for those who have offered suggestions. I have been under the truck and haven't seen any good independent locations (the bumper is integrated to the hitch and would likely be part of any failure) - but I'll look for a hidden loop as suggested above.
For those who don't isolate the cable to a different mounting point - more power to you. I simply prefer the redundancy created by a separate mount.
How far forward did you look? Is it possible to connect a cable with a loop on the end to something way forward of the rear bumper and route it to the back? The trailer lanyard need not connect to a frame member if it connects to something solid via another length of cable.
