I didn't see an umbilical for the lights and such for a trailer on your truss. If you haven't done so already, you can buy the connections and build your own. I hit up Home Depot for wire that they near-gave me for a few bucks. Scraps in the barrel they were going to toss. The plug ends off Amazon.
Funny you should pick that out and mention something. I think I bolted the bracket on after I took the pictures. I have a 6' length of male to female 7 blade setup for the dodge to haul the camper. In the dodge, the plug is near the back of the bed. I made it up because the wiring coming off the camper is only about 2' long.
The ford has the 7 blade near the front of the bed and the camper wiring reaches no problem. I figure I'll just use the extension I made and coil up the extra wire and secure it underneath when I tow with the extension.
I'm not trying to jump the gun and buy anything or rig anything up, but I have everything for the setup. The boat that I'm going to tow may have enough wiring to actually reach the factory connector under the bumper. Something we will just have to wait and see about.
