When you do not tow a trailer

Remove the ball mount from the hitch receiver
tube when the tailgate is open and the bed ex-
tender is used. The rear license plate will not be
visible because the license plate bracket can
not be used at the lowered/open position when
the ball mount is connected.
In addition, the license plate bracket will hit the
hitch ball and may be damaged if the tailgate is
opened and the license plate bracket is at the
HS8015BA
lowered/open position.
Remove the ball mount from the hitch receiver tube
and insert the receiver cover onto the hitch receiver
tube.
Place the dust cap over the four-pin connector of the
hitch wire harness to protect against possible damage.
Occasionally lubricate terminals of the four-pin con-
nector using the terminal grease, and cover with the
attached rubber cap.
