Part Needed to Convert a 4-Flat Vehicle Connector to a 5-Flat Connector

Question

Question:

I have a 2020 Hyundai Palisade factory trailer hitch 4 wire system. I need a 5 wire converter so when I back up it will cut out my disk brakes. Do you make a 5 wire bundle to plug and play? Or would I need to modify a wire bundle finding the back up light circuit. Thanks

We do have the part you need in order to convert the 4-flat on your 2020 Hyundai Palisade to a 5-flat, but as you said, it does require you to find the back-up light circuit. While it would be much easier, there just isn't a plug-and-play 5-flat adapter available.

The part you need is the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036.

I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
