Installing a Curt trailer receiver hitch on a new 2023 Ford Bronco. On this one, we are also running extra wiring to the front so that it can be towed behind a motorhome and we had to run an extra wire to operate the trailer brakes. In the future, we'll be installing a trailer brake controller using that wire. We are also mounting the plug into the rear bumper and drilling through it instead of hanging it down below. This should free up space and look a lot better that factory. This receiver is also flush with the bumper instead of sticking out past the spare tire on the factory tow packages.

Do you have a video for how you completed the flat tow setup (the wiring and plug placement for the front of the Bronco)? Thanks, appreciate the videos!

@RoadandReel Жыл бұрын

I sure do! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNGFrLl5zrG4gqc.html Thanks for watching!

@rsmag6 Жыл бұрын

Thanks. I have the modular front bumper so I’ll have to modify it a bit. What size anti chaffing did you use for the wiring, everything looks neat and professional and I’d like to replicate it. Also, you mention using the 4 pin up front but possibly going to a 7 pin in the future, what would be the reason to for flat towing? Thanks again!

@RoadandReel Жыл бұрын

@@rsmag6 I believe this is 3/8" antichaffe. The reason I'd go to a 7 pin would be in case I wanted to wire in an auxiliary battery, refrigerator or something similar. The Bronco is fine with a 4 pin. I have seen a lot of stuff out there with the modular bumper mounts. I don't know about the wiring, but I'm sure it could be mounted in a nice place or even the bumpers slotted for the 4 pin to go through and mounted flush.

The curt hitch is designed so you do not have to remove the bumper. JMO. if you are putting in a 7 pin then the bumper removal would make is easier. Great video!!!

@RoadandReel Жыл бұрын

Yes, you are correct. This hitch would have been pretty easy to install with the bumper on and I don't see any real issues doing it that way if you mount the 7 pin on the bottom. I've seen other hitches that extend a little farther so the 7 pin can be installed level with the hitch, but I didn't like how the departure angle would change. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment!

Good work. I may suggest instead of cutting the zip ties leaving a razor's edge, twist them off with a pair of side cutters. They also make a zip tie gun which leave a smooth surface. Nothing is more frustrating as a electrician when the zip ties have been cut and now im all cut up.

@RoadandReel Жыл бұрын

That's great advice, thanks! I've been cut by a few and it's not fun. I'll have to check out one of those guns.

Whats up @Road and Reel ! Love the content you are putting out. Question, the blue wire and black power wire. Do you need those for the flat towing? Also @Road and Reel the red fuse connector can you leave links to the materials you used: fuse connector, black power wire, curt wire harness trailer tow (rear), and curt wire harness flat tow (front). Thanks for the content!!

@RoadandReel Жыл бұрын

Thanks, I appreciate it! The black and blue wire were ran for towing a trailer behind the Bronco. The flat tow harness just plugs into the factory wiring between the tail lights in the back and only require a screw for the white ground. I have all of the links in the description and this is what I used for the fused connection: amzn.to/3XFeisu I can only find them sold in multiples, but you can get them individually at any parts store. Check out those other links in the description and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions! Have a good one!

@logandrayson4175 Жыл бұрын

What is the black and blue wiring? I don't see them on the parts list? Than you for your help.

@RoadandReel Жыл бұрын

The black wire is the power wire for the module and is a part of the kit, but the blue wire I added. It's for the trailer brakes and will go to the brake controller when I install that. It's 12ga.

Is this harness specifically for the non LED taillights? If so what is the part number?

So I installed the tow hitch on a 22 WIldtrak. Took the bumper off just fine, but the connectors to the backup parking sensors... it seemed like i needed to " squeeze " them to disconnect, ( by hand ) which worked. Now they dont want to reconnect properly and its throwing error codes for the parking sensors. When you disconnected yours, it seemed like a audible click was heard. Any idea how I can get those errors to stop ? The sensors feel somewhat together, but a bit sloshy.

@RoadandReel 11 ай бұрын

These clicked right back together. Is there any debris or anything interfering with the plug? Everything clicked, like you said, with an audible clicking sound when we put it back together.

For the curt power wire why was it attached to the fuse box instead of the battery terminal. By the way great video.

@RoadandReel 10 ай бұрын

Thanks! That's just where the power lug is and it makes it look a lot cleaner. If you open the fuse panel, you'll see that it's just a lug that comes straight off the battery so it's not really in the fuse box.

@kyleprez1 Жыл бұрын

Did you ever hook up the blue wire and where did you hook it up to?

@RoadandReel Жыл бұрын

I'm actually doing that first thing in the morning. It'll go to the blue wire on the back of the brake controller. We're installing a Redarc brake controller. Video should be out in about a week.

@Mpatient1 Жыл бұрын

Why did you connect it at the fuse box instead of the battery? I've seen it both ways so now I'm curious

@RoadandReel Жыл бұрын

I connected it to the positive terminal, but it's under the fuse box lid and just looks a little cleaner in my opinion. You could do the same thing on the battery, but the wiring would be a little more exposed.

@Mpatient1 Жыл бұрын

@@RoadandReel thanks! It definitely does look cleaner, this is the first vehicle I've had with more than one option for connecting to the positive so it's a bit new to me
