Recommendation to Add 7-Way Socket in 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 Bed
Question:
Good morning, I am looking for a plug in trailer/RV harness that mounts in the front of the pickup bed for a 2006 Chevy 2500 pickup. Do you make one of these?

We do have a way for you to add a 7-Way connector in the bed of your 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500.
The Curt Wiring Kit # C56000 tees right into the back of your current 7-Way via the US CAR connection and then gives you a 10' lead to route the wiring up to the front of your bed. This uses the standard 7-Way pinout so if you're using this with a Lance in-bed camper (which is typically the case) you'll want to cut off their connector and install the Hopkins # H20043 in it's place - being sure to match the functions of the 7-Way connectors.
Lance factory connectors are different than the standard 7-Way and they have a different pinout which is why I recommend replacing it.
