F-150 6 pin & breakaway mounting

[RobintheHood]

Hi folks, I'm working through adding the necessary parts to pull my 2023 F-150 as a toad. I've got the trailer wires run to the front and installed the Blue Ox plates to the frame. (Harder than the etrailer video showed BTW since I have a Powerboost and adaptive cruise.) I'm wondering how you have mounted the 6-pin socket and breakaway mount to the front bumper. Please send ideas/pics!

I tow a similar F150 with a Demco plate and tow bar

Connected to the wiring at the rear and ran it up the frame

Mounted the socket on the air dam just to the inside of the bumper

Is is out of the way and still relatively easy to reach

I just had my 2022 f150 done this is how they installed the plug and break away connectors

Here's what I ended up with... It was a PITA to get stuffed in there and tight, but it is out of the way! Aluminum stiffeners on the left, and the 7 pin mount attaches inside the air dam on the right. Now if I could get paint to stick...
