    My 2008 Tacoma was rear ended a while back. I bought a new Toyota brand class 3 hitch to go on during the repairs. The mounting area for the harness plug, unlike on the class 4 hitch that came with the truck, has the mounting holes underneath the hitch bar facing down. I'm trying to figure a way to mount the plug to the hitch but am having some issues.

    The pic below is of the bracket that was on the class 4 hitch which had the mounts on the front portion of the hitch bar facing the rear.

    Anyone have any ideas on if there is a part that can be bought to mount the plug or am I going to either have to drill new holes or jerry rig something? Right now I have the plug zipped ties to the hitch.
