Recommendation for Trailer Wiring Harness for 2012 Honda CR-V
Question:
I want to tow a small universal trailer by Top Hat Trailers DERBY JR MODEL 2400 SERIES using my 2012 Honda CRV. Ive figured out the hitch, ball mount, and ball I need, but am confused about what type of electrical hookup I will need and which will fit the trailer. Do you have a recommendation?
asked by: John O
Expert Reply:
According to my research, the Top Hat trailer uses a standard 4-pole trailer connector. For your 2012 Honda CR-V, I recommend the T-One Wiring Harness # 118561. It requires no splicing into the wiring system and is a solid one-piece construction. It can be used with 5-, 6-, and 7-pole adapters, and is quick and easy to install.
I have provided links to the installation instructions for this item as well as a video showing its installation on your vehicle.
I have also included a link to our FAQ page on trailer wiring diagrams.
