Running the Bushtec also. The Version 3 is the one that fits the 09 SEEG. Hidden receiver so hitch is out of sight when ball is removed. Install was pretty easy and straight forward. Also used the Bushtec lighting relay, but be sure to specify that you are on a 09 SERG to get the right plug and play. I pull an Aluma trailer and have not had any issues at all.

You will be happy you did. You haven't mentioned lighting but the Bushtec wiring and relay is a plug and play deal also and has worked very well for me. Check the type plug on your trailer and they should be able to send you the correct module for a 4, 5, or a 6 wire trailer

I bought the Bushtec hitch for the wiring pigtail it is the best I have seen offered. Heavy duty with a mesh cover and very nice connection that snaps together. Keep an eye on the relay if you use it. I found mine had failed tracing a reason why my lights were not working. Took the relay out and reconnected all good again. I do have a inline fuse for every wire that I always install.
