Trailer Plug in Bed?

ollie770 · Nov 4, 2016

I would like to install a 7-way plug in the box for my gooseneck trailer. I know Ram/Mopar offers a kit that includes a harness that taps into the bumper plug and the 7-way plug to mount in the box. I really like the look of the factory setup which includes a plastic "adapter" that the 7-way plug mounts in (which is not part of the add-on kit). It also gives more clearance for the wiring to plug in inside the box/fender area. Does anyone know the the part number for this plastic piece in the picture that the 7-way plug is mounted in? Pic is from a 2016 model I saw at a fair earlier this year. Have looked on Mopar.com but cannot get anything to load other than the Ram Accessories.

i think this is what ya need? funny ya post this, I just came across this video within the last 1/2 hour.

Thanks for sharing the video. That is very similar to the Mopar kit 82212195 which I believe is the same as the Pollack kit etrailer offers.

The piece I am looking for is the black piece held on by the 2 larger screws in the picture that "offsets" the 7-way plug. Pretty sure is dealer only, which is fine, just trying to get a p/n to use to chase it down.

Have the dealer parts department look it up, you may want to grab the vin of that truck.
You'll have to do a bit of cutting to get clip nuts mounted behind that plug to bolt it into place.

If you have to drill the hole for the 7 pin you really don't need that part. There is plenty of room behind the inner wall for the cable. Other than making the hole for the plug it is plug-n-play. it seems you want it to look factory but that part is not necessary to functionality.

they may have what you're looking for on etrailer.alot of their stuff is vehicle specific.
