Should Trailer Wiring Be Installed with Trailer Hitch or Can it Wait til Later

Question:

Hi: I want to get a trailer hitch for the Nissan Pathfinder 2019. I alos want to get the wiring, but Im not sure wich type. Ill be using the hitch for a bike rack and extra storage and perhaps a trailer. But my question is would it be easy to install the wiring after the hitch is installed, or would it be best to install them at the same time. Let me know what you think. Thanks,

Expert Reply:

Trailer hitch installs and trailer wiring installs are totally separate processes. It wouldn't be a situation where "well, you're already half way there may as well do the wiring too." So if you wanted to start with a hitch now like the # C13309 and then do the wiring part # C56281 now or at a later date you'd have the same amount of work either way.

I attached install videos for both of these for you to check out as well.
