Wiring Recommendation to Fit with Lance 6-Way Connector on 2016 Ford F-250
Question:
I am trying to wire a 2011 Lance Truck Camper into a 2016 Ford F250. I have already purchased the proprietary Lance 6 way cord which has an 8 gauge power and ground that will go to the battery with a fuse. I would like to wire the remaining 4 smaller wires into either a 7 way or 4 way connector. Would you be able to provide the adapter wire and and explanation to connect?

Expert Reply:
If your 2016 Ford F-250 doesn't already have a factory trailer connector then the Hopkins # HM11140755 is what you need. This plugs into a factory port underneath your truck and then you'll cut off the 4-Way and splice it into that Lance 6-Way connector. The wires are labeled so you just need to match the functions.
If you do have the factory trailer connector then the Pollak # PK11893-11932 is a great alternative because it tees in behind your factory 7-Way and gives you all of the functions you need for that Lance connector. I'm attaching a photo showing the wire colors and functions of this connector so you'll want to follow the same rule of matching functions for this as well.
