Gents! Need your help as I can't find what I'm looking for, for the love of god!

I have an 04 Tahoe that did not come with OEM tow package, I went and bought a hitch installed it in 5 mins then realizes I have no wiring!


I can't figure out what kit I need to buy to make this work? I noticed I
May also need that square bracket to hold the plug by the hitch? Please If you can help post what exactly do i need to buy?

I will be borrowing my buddies trailer which I need to connect to.

I'm pretty sure it's there, my question is what do I buy to plug into that?

So that I can connect trailer plug to it?

You have to hard wire it to those wires in that bundle. You can find whatever you need at Wally world, but if you need questions answered, any decent autoparts store can help. Depending on what kit you get it will have the bracket you need for mounting as well.
Good luck!

I've seen plastic and metal mounts for the trailer outlet.

If down the road you ever want to pull a trailer with additional components like brakes, extra lighting, etc. you might want to consider a 7 pin outlet?

It would be quick and easy to just drape the four pin harness under the bumper and temporarily mount with some ty-raps just to get you going.

Good luck.
