Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to 2017 Ford F-150 with Factory 4-Way
Question:
I have a 2017 Ford F-150 that comes with factory 4 pin trailer wiring connector. What products do I need to have both 4 pin and 7 pin connectors?

The best way to convert your 2017 Ford F-150's 4-way trailer connetor to a 4- and 7-way connector is with our # ETBC7 kit. It plugs into your existing 4-way and includes all the wiring to hook up the other funcions of the 7-way, plus keeps a 4-way connection. I've linked a video that shows the kit being installed on a 2013 F-150. The process is the same.
If you're not worried about the 7-way being fully functional and only want it for the same 4-way functions then all you need is an adapter, like part # 37185. It's the same connector included with the # ETBC7 kit without all the extra wiring. If you go this route you want to cap off the extra, unused wires.
