CURT 55344 Vehicle-Side Custom 4-Pin Trailer Wiring Harness
Manufactured by: Curt
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation.
Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Ford E150, E250, E350, E450, E550 and Econoline Super Duty, Ford Escort, Expedition, Excursion, Explorer, Sport Trac, Focus, Ranger and F150, Lincoln Aviator and Navigator and Mercury Mountaineer and Tracer (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info) It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use.
You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power.
CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup..
Features:
- Plugs into vehicle tail light assembly to provide a 4-way flat socket
- Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing

- Backed by a limited one-year warranty
CURT 57672 Dual-Output 4-Way Flat Vehicle-Side to 7-Way RV Blade Trailer Wiring Adapter
Manufactured by: Curt
There are several different types of connectors used to supply power from a tow vehicle's electrical system to a trailer's wiring system Some trailers only need the bare essentials -- running lights, brake lights and turn signals -- while others require a connection for reverse lights, electric brakes and auxiliary power With connectors ranging from simple to complex, it may be the case that the connection between your vehicle and your trailer is not a perfect match.
For example, your truck may be equipped with a 6-way round socket, but your trailer may have a 4-way flat plug For this very common problem, CURT offers a quick and simple solution in the form of an electrical adapter An adapter is an electrical device that allows a connection to be made between a mismatched trailer plug and vehicle socket.
It easily plugs in your vehicle's electrical socket and usually requires no additional wiring CURT offers an array of adapters to accommodate most types of plugs and sockets, including 4-way flat, 4-way round, 5-way flat, 6-way round, 7-way RV blades and more This special dual-output electrical adapter is actually designed to adapt a 4-way flat vehicle socket to fit multiple trailer plugs, including a 4-way flat and a 7-way RV blade connector.
Some manual wiring is required This multipurpose socket also comes with dust covers, a mounting bracket and all necessary mounting hardware for a complete installation All CURT wiring and electrical products come with a one-year limited warranty to give you the assurance you need to tow with confidence..
Features:
- Adapts a 4-way flat socket to fit 4-way flat and 7-way RV blade trailer plugs
- 4-way flat output connects tail lights, brake lights and turn signals
- 7-way connects tail, brake, reverse, turn signals, brakes and auxiliary power
- Dust covers included to keep connectors clean when not in use
- Slit loom keeps wires contained and well protected
- Metal bracket securely mounts wiring to the vehicle or trailer hitch
