run through the frame, then at the cab there are little rubber boots on the pass side under the doors, pull these boots up and then run wires down, then at the end below the pass kick panel there will be a rubber gromet, run it through this one and up into the kick panel by the fuse box

If you're talking the flat "4" style blade, then no, one is not constant hot. The "bare" plug is a ground, then there will be one plug that is hot when the parking lights are on, the other two are the left/right brake/turn signals.

If you have the round style trailer parking plug, then yes, one will be constant hot for the electric trailer brake setup.

Just keep it simple: connect the red lead of the camera to the left or right taillamp assemblies reverse lead that we posted in a previous post here.
