trailer electrical connection?

[gib]

I recently bought a 2011 lt it has a drawtite to hitch but I do not see an electrical connector.

? Is there a factory connection somewhere I should dig out OR do I have to tap into the wiring without that headstart?

Thanks in advance,
gib

This one should plug right into the factory harness. 2010 and older require a body controller reflash. You should be good with a 2011. On the factory installations, the harness is fed through the center of the rubber drain bung in the spare tire well. The video suggest running it through the tailgate, which seem a little sketchy to me.
