Expert Reply:
We do not offer any custom-fit wiring harnesses with a 5-Way flat plug already installed, but we do offer an adapter that you can use to convert an existing 4-Way plug to a 5-Way. Using part # 20036, you would simply plug the adapter into your 4-Way vehicle plug, and then connect the additional, blue wire to your vehicle reverse light wire, behind the tail light assembly.
This adapter kit includes a quick splice to make the installation very easy. You simply insert the adapter wire and the vehicle wire into the quick splice grooves and then clamp down the blade to make a secure connection.
You can view a video showing a typically installation of the # 20036 adapter and some additional information on wiring for towing at the links provided.
