Hello all. Sorry for the lack of experience on this, but if I have that 7 plug connector under my GX, I do not need to purchase the wiring harness correct?
I am looking to add a tow hitch to my 2008 GX 470 and the website suggested wiring and other items. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks in advance.

Most of the site's I've seen want you to relocate the 7 pin socket and to accomplish this you would need an extension kit. Instead, I just flip my socket upside down and use a connector with a 6" lead.

@zolt - thanks for the quick reply and fair enough. I cehcked under the car this afternoon and the socket and wiring are present. I will flip the socket as well which should work. Looks like there is a plastic piece on the driver's side that has to be removed to expose the holes for the hitch but it looks like a straight forward install.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

True
Help me understand something on the hitch please.
I just purchased a 2007 used. Mine has the circle lighting adapter under it, and looks like with four bolts you could put a 2 inch reciever hitch on there, is this not true?
Do you have the curt hitch that attaches all the way around ?
thanks.
