Adapter Needed to Use a 4-Way or 5-Way Trailer Connector with a Factory 7-Way Socket

Question:

I have a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche that has a factory 7 way flat blade socket. I want to pull a 4 or 5 way utility trailer on short trips. What do I need to do??

There are a couple of ways you could attach a 4-way or 5-way connector to your factory 7-way connector on your 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche. If you wanted to have the option to use both a 4-way and 5-way connector without having to keep track of multiple items, then you may want to check out the Hopkins 7 Pole to 4 Pole and 5 Pole Adapter, # 37385.

This adapter will insert into the 7-way socket on your vehicle and has connections for a 4-way and a 5-way trailer connector.

If you only wanted a 4-way or a 5-way adapter, then you could take a look at the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Pole Adapter, # PK12716, or the Optronics 7 Pole to 5 Pole Adapter, # A57WB. I have attached links to each of these products for you to check out.
