Parts Needed For Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector On a 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser

Question:

What parts are needed to install a 7-way connector on my 2001 Landcruiser with a 4-way flat connector? I also need a replacement end for the 5-way flat trailer connector on my boat trailer.

The Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 will provide you with a 7-way which will also include wiring needed for connecting the other functions of the 7-way on your 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser. Your current 4-way will connect into the 7-way for the basic light functions of the trailer. The included wiring will allow you to run a charge line and brake line for a Brake Controller # 90195 if you are also needing that function. Lastly you will just need to tap into the reverse lighting on your Toyota to complete the 7-way.

The Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM47910 will allow you to replace a damaged 5-way connector on your boat trailer. I recommend using the Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 to ensure moisture and dirt are not able to get to the connections.
