Anyone know where the wires are in the back by the bumper? I'm gonna be towing a boat every once in a while and I was looking for the wires to power the brake lights on the trailer. I didn't see anything back there..I hope I have them lol..

Slide under the truck and theres a wire harness with a connector up near the frame and bumper mount. If you just see a con then the truck didnt leave the factory with the rest of the wiring harness for the tow package. If you dont see them I wouldnt worry to much and call a local trailer shop to get a quote on putting in a light hook up.
