No 7 pin connection in bed

[TheMohns]

I just bought a new F350 and a 5th wheel toy hauler. I haven't picked up the trailer yet. I had the RV place put in the 5th wheel hitch for me but they didn't put an electrical connector in the bed. I have a connection down by the tow hitch but I am not sure if the cord will reach. Will it work without the connector in the bed of the truck?

You can probably order one on Etrailer. If you can run a drill it should be an easy install.

I had a 7 way plug installed in my bed for $75.00. Works great! Now I can plug in either way.

I have a 2013 F350 that I added the factory 7 way plug in the bed. It's part # BC3Z 13A576 A : Wiring Assembly - cost $68. It's the same plug used by Ford in the bed when you order the Hitch in the bed option. It comes with a plug (I believe it's a small 6 plug unit) at the end of the wire that plugs into the wiring harness under the truck near the spare tire if I remember correctly. No splicing into your wiring harness. It's a plug and play deal. All Super Duty's come with the same wiring harness, so adding the 7 way plug in bed is super easy. Hardest thing is cutting the hole in the inside bed wall!

Previous truck only had bumper connector and it worked fine. New truck has both bumper and in-bed connectors and I use both depending on mood.

Mine is under the bumper and works fine. Will eventually probably put one in the bed but no rush.

I use the one and only one I have, in the bumper. No problems as long as the cord will reach, even when making a turn.

Yes it will still work the cord may rub the tailgate. I had one put in my bed when I had the hitch installed it's in the bed and out of the way either way works
