Trailer Wiring Harness Relocation Bracket

[Badao]

Has anyone equipped with a Class IV hitch receiver downgrade to a Class III? For those ones that doesn't comes with a hitch receiver from factory, they have a wire frame harness with a bracket for the 7 and 4 pin connector mounted to the frame, I believed the part number is 821690W010. However, I don't think they sell the bracket separately.

From the information I gather, some people were able to fit a 285/70R17 into the spare tire location with either the Curt or OEM 4runner hitch, so I am going to try to fit 265/70R18 there since I don't really tow that often other than towing utility trailer for moving furniture. For those of you that downgraded how do you mount the two connectors? I know Victory 4x4 has a 7-Pin Relocation Bracket but it looks like it might be interfered with the spare tire.

And its the Drawtite hitch you want, NOT the Curt. Extra 1/4"+ clearance.

That one looks like it mounts on the Class IV hitch.

This is the bracket that comes with the harness. Its about $200 for the whole thing but just need the bracket lol.

Related question: Has anyone relocated the wiring harness up into the bumper? I.e., out of the way of rocks/mud/etc

I need to replace my Class III electrical plug for towing. Crunched it on a tail drag going through a rock garden.
Where did you find yours?

The part number for the plugs, bracket, and harness is 821690W010. Lexus don’t have them separately.

I am 90% sure that bracket is shared with a 5th gen 4Runner, and can probably be found quite easily in a salvage yard for a few dollars. I actually just removed that bracket/plug from a 2023 4Runner and installed an extended 4-pin plug on a simple bracket next to the OEM trailer hitch, so the owner wouldn't have to get under the rig hook up a small utility trailer .
