'08 RTX question

Should my '08 RTX have come with a pigtail for the trailer brake wiring?
Thanks

Re: '08 RTX question

If you are talking about the pigtail that you attach to the brake controller and plugs in under the dash-my 07 RTX came with one, so I would think your 08 would also come withone.

The RTX's are supposed to be tow ready from the factory which includes the wiring pigtail and the receiver slide in deal that you put the ball on. If you didn't get these things, check with your dealer. All that stuff on mine was in a box inside the trunk.

I'm pretty sure I got one with my 08...I'll have to double check, but I think it came in a small box...

Re: '08 RTX question

ok, I called the dealer and talked to the guy I bought the truck from (who really doesn't know much about the trucks), and came back to me and said that they wanted me to bring the truck to them to check it out, but they couldn't tell me why

My '07 RTX came with a small box in the trunk. It contained: draw bar, pin and clip, Honda rubber hitch cover, and the pigtail harness. I had to buy the ball.

Re: '08 RTX question

that's what I thought. Does anyone know the part number? Could someone take a picture of the pig tail for me?
Thanks
