I have plugs both in the side of the truck bed between the hitch and the cab, and also the bumper. Started out using the one in the bed for aesthetic reasons, but ended up switching to the bumper. Reasons are..

I do have a plastic cover for the top of the tailgate which eliminates the possibility of scratching the tailgate paint.
