Expert Answers about Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring


  • Ground or No Ground for Installing a 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2004 Toyota Rav4
  • You are correct the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, item # 118389, has a ground wire that is attached to a ground location behind the vehicle tail light and the Hopkins Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, item # 33465, does not have an extra ground wire. Both harnesses will work properly on your vehicle. I would select the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, item # 118389, because of the extra ground protection it offers. If there is a short circuit situation on the trailer the Tow Ready...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for Most Vehicles Without a Custom Fit Wiring Harness Available
  • There is not a custom fit confirmed for your 2018 Toyota Highlander XLE available yet from any of our manufacturers. You may want to consider using the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT which is a fit for many vehicles because it senses the current in your wiring without actually splicing into them. It uses zero contact interface sensors and draws power for the converter directly from the battery of your vehicle....

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2013 Ford Escape
  • There are basically two different styles of wiring harnesses available for your 2013 Ford Escape that we offer. There is the kind that plug in-line with the factory wiring of your tail lights like the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118566 that you referenced and there are the kind that have to be hard-wired like the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 119179KIT.

  • Recommended Tow Bar Wiring Kit for 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimieted
  • There is not a specific wiring kit for your Blue Ox Tow Bar # BX4370. Blue Ox doesn't have a wiring harness specifically for your vehicle, so I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200 which is a custom fit for your 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited factory wiring. It makes it just plug and play after running the wires from the front of the vehicle to the rear tail lights.

  • Custom Fit Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2007 Toyota Highlander

An install instructions link is also attached below as well. The Hopkins kit is a universal style kit and would require you to go in and test the wiring of your vehicle and then splice into...

  • Can Parts To Tow Trailer With 2016 Mazda CX-5 Be Transferred To Another Vehicle
  • I do have some great options for a 2016 Mazda CX-5 but most of these options (trailer hitch and basic wiring) are all designed specifically for said vehicle (custom fit) which is what allows you to install them without drilling into the frame or splicing into the vehicles wiring harness. I have attached a list below but some will be able to be transferred (universal fit). Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76138 (Custom Fit) Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part #...

  • Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # C56009 Recommendation for a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # C56009 that you referenced would be the correct wiring harness for your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee to provide you with trailer wiring. I attached installation instructions for this product for your to check out also. If there is a bracket on your factory hitch that is designed to store a 4-way wiring harness you should have no problem storing the 4-way from the # C56009 in that bracket.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Highlander
  • The easiest and best solution to add trailer wiring to your 2013 Toyota Highlander is going to be with the Tekonsha kit part # 118449 which plugs right into a port that's present on your vehicle wiring. Since your vehicle has stoplight circuits separate from the turn signals you wouldn't be able to just hardwire in a 4-way directly as the signals would need to be converted. LED lights draw a fraction of an amp which is not very much at all.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 Honda Pilot
  • We have trailer wiring harnesses available for your 2012 Honda Pilot, but to pick out the correct one you will need to know which trailer connector you have on your vehicle. If you have a 4-way you would want a Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118558. This connector is characterized by a flat connector with 4 wires coming out of it. Most likely this the harness you would need. If you have a 7-way on your trailer you would want a Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring Harness...

  • Recommendation For Wiring Harness On 2014 Chevrolet Express Van
  • You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2992, to find out what all of the functions are on the connector you have on your 2014 Chevrolet Express Van. If you find it does not have the functions that a trailer would use, we do have other options that will work for you. If the plug you found at the rear of your van look like they would match the photo I have attached, then you can use the Hopkins Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # HM40975. Using this will give you both a 4-way and a...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2007 Honda Odyssey
  • Honestly, either the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # C56161 or the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118438 would work for you since they basically do the same thing. However, Curt uses a more modern style circuit board that builds less heat and generally lasts longer than the style of circuit boards that are in the Tow Ready converters so I would go with the # C56161. I attached installation instructions for the # C56161 for you to check out also.

  • We do have a large selection of tow bar wiring kits that are confirmed to fit your 2018 Ford Focus Titanium Hatchback, however there is not currently a custom T-connector harness available for this vehicle. The Curt harness that you mentioned is only designed to work with the Sedan model Focus.

This kit will give you a pair of stop, turn,...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Chevy Cruze
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24882 is not compatible with the 2017 Chevy Cruze. I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24943 for that vehicle. I've attached a video of this installation. For your trailer wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118696. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which...

  • Which Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles Is Needed For 2011 Jeep Wrangler
  • The Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles, # HM56104 is not confirmed for the 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (It fits GM vehicles); you need the Hopkins part number, # HM56200. This harness requires no cutting, splicing into your vehicle's tail light wires to install, it simply plugs into the back of your tail lights. I also recommend the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Supplemental Braking System, # RM-766

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2017 Ford Focus ST and 2004 Nissan 350Z
  • For your 2017 Ford Focus ST hatchback the easiest to install trailer wiring harness is the part # 118674. This is a custom install kit whereas for the 2004 Nissan 350Z the wiring harness you'd want is the # C59236 which is a hardwire option but it's the only option that fits your vehicle. Since not a lot of people tow with the 350Z there hasn't been enough of a demand to create a custom wiring harness for it.
