Adapter to Convert 2013 Chevrolet Express Van from 4-Pole to 7-Way Trailer Connector
Question:
I am familiar with a 7-pin to 4-pain trailer connector adapter. Do you have a 4-pin to 7-pin adapter? That is, an adapter I can use to plug a trailer with a 7-pin cord into my vehicles 4-pin adapter. I realize I wouldnt have use of the trailer brakes.

We have just what you need.
To convert your van's 4-pole flat trailer connector to a 7-way format to match your trailer you can use adapter # 37185 from Hopkins. This simply plugs in to the 4-pole on the van and provides BOTH a 4-pole output and a 7-way output socket in one housing. This way you do not have to remove the adapter when you next pull a trailer with 4-pole wiring. A mounting bracket is included.
If you ever need to make the additional connections for trailer brakes, reverse light signals or 12V trailer power you can use the pigtail leads included in the adapter. If not simply tape them up and tuck them out of the way for safe keeping until you need them. An install video is linked for you.
If you wanted a 7-way with trailer brake, 12V trailer charge and reverse light circuits that are all active then you could use # ETBC7 which includes the 7-way and wiring, circuit breakers, connectors etc.
