GM makes one that just plugs in. Installing the hitch and wiring is a snap on your truck if you go factory. Do it it your drive way in an hour goofing around.

Larry,
I can check my stockpile, I bet I have one.
In the very least, stay away from uhaul.

This reminds me of my husband when it comes to working with wood (he's a mechanic) he says "I am NOT a F*$%&*(#&^ nailbanger"!!!

Larry - I second Drinkwater. Cynthia used them for the horse trailer hitch and I did for the boat hitch....
