The rear plug by the pintle hitch

[Timber]

What is it for? It looks like it has a quick disconnect just behind the bumper. I want to remove it and the pintle to make room for my tag, but I'd like to know what it is first.

Wiring to tow a trailer. Guess you wont need it since you are talking about removing the hitch.

its is for an trailer 12 std and for 24volt black outs lights. no problems.

If there is an adapter to convert it to a standard 4-pin plug I'll keep it. But that's where my tag is going and I'm switching to a regular receiver hitch.

i vust kept mine cause you never know if you might pick up a 1.5ton trailer off of Gl. but i taped into that to run the wires for my 7pin so i can pull a reg. car trailer and i took the pintle off also and and cut a hole to fit the reciver and welded it to the top of the bumper and then took a pice of 1/4 inch plate and went under the the truck and came down off the back frame tie and welded it around the reciver hitch and drilled 4 3/4 nich holes in that frame tir and the plate and used 3/4 grade 8 bolts and that thing aint moving at all
