Hopkins Wiring Harness # Recommendation for a 1994 Toyota Previa Van
Question:
I would like to use the 3 wire tow ready wiring kit # 119178 on my 1993 toyota Previa van. However the trailer I am going to be towing is set up for a six pin. Once I have part # 119178 installed can I simply plug the 4 pole together into 37175 and have use for both the 4 pole and the 6 pole or do I need to use the extra 3 wires in order to get use of the six pole. I have no use for electric brakes or an auxiliary. Please advise and thank you in advance.

Expert Reply:
Yes, you could plug the Adapter 4 Pole to 6 Pole and 4 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, part # 37175, into the 4-way of the Tow Ready Wiring Harness, part # 119178.
As long as you do not need any of the other functions that the 6-way has you would not need to wire up those wires to the # 37175. The 6-way would essentially be a 4-way, except it would be through a 6-way connector, and you could wire up the rest of the wires later if you changed your mind.
I attached a video of a # 119178 being installed onto a similar vehicle as yours.
