7-Way to 5-Way Flat Adapter Needed to Tow Boat Trailer with 2018 Ram 1500
Question:
I need an adapter to go from a 7-way blade on my 2018 Ram 1500 to my boat trailer that has a 5-way flat. Does the A75TB allow for the release of my hydraulic brakes so I can back up. Ive seen diagrams of 7-way adapters where the blade for the right turn signal ad the blade for the left turn single also provide the power to activate the back up brake release. Does the A75TB do this?

Expert Reply:
The Optronics Adapter 7 Pole to 5 Pole Flat # A75TB is exactly what you want for towing your boat trailer with your 2018 Ram 1500.
This adapter carries the basic trailer lighting functions (running, left/right/stop, and ground) as well as the reverse light function that you need to activate the reverse lockout on your hydraulic actuator. As long as the reverse light function is active on your Ram (center pin) then you are good to go!
