2021 Silverado 2500HD 5th Wheel Wiring Connection in Bed

[tortiseshell]

My truck has a 7 pin trailer connection on the rear bumper.  I want to put this same connection in the bed of my truck.

 

On the cargo bed wall, rear driver's side is a plastic cover/cap positioned next to the tail gate.  Is this a cover for the 5th wheel connection if I had chosen that option?  I bought a Curtis 7 way wiring harness to add to my setup and wondered if I can mount the connection to what this plate/cap covers up.  You tube has folks drilling a hole in the bed. But, my bed might have one already there capped off.

 

So... wondering if you got the 5th wheel gooseneck option where your connection point in the bed is for a 2021 2500HD? I know... I should add a picture...  

 

Thanks much!

Mine is at the bottom left side of the bed.

If you have Curt's package 56072, there should be a cover plate included.  Just remove the stock filler cover (that black cover where an equipped truck would have the in-bed plug on the rear drivers corner of the bed) and use Curt's plate and plug in that spot.  For those who want to do this as close to stock as possible, you will need GM parts 84056018, 84663240, and 84670050.

@tortiseshell, yes - that spot is an opening where it can go. It should just pull off of there fairly easily (maybe with a little help from a flathead). I got one added in the same spot on my truck. I had the shop wire it up for me when I had the B&W turnover hitch installed in the bed.

This is exactly what I have as well.
