Looking For 7-Way To 4-Flat Adapter

Question

Question:

I am looking for an adapter to connect a 7 blade vehicle connector to a 4 flat trailer connector. The 4 flat trailer connector was used with a 2016-2019 Ford F150 Platinum 4 flat Ford factory installed connector. My vehicle was a 7 flat connector and none of the standards 4 flat adapters will work because the Ford connection is in a well that the flat 4 trailer connector plugs into. I have pictures but was unable to attach them. Thank you

Hey Jamie, I can definitely look into this. I think it would definitely be best to see some pictures before I make a recommendation. Can you email pictures to me? My email is jesse.morton@etrailer.com. Shoot those over to me when you get a chance, and I am happy to see what we can do.

@JamieD That is an interesting looking 4-flat plug. I even showed it to a few of my associates and none of them had seen one like that before. We do not carry any 7-way adapters that will work with this plug. My suggestion is to simply remove the 4-flat trailer plug and replace it with something more standard like our part # HM48110. You could then use any standard 7 way adapter like part # PK12716.

@JesseM thank you for your responses and sharing your knowledge. Below I purchase the HM48110, I wanted to ask one more question. Is there a 7 blade adapter that I can connect directly to the 4 way trailer wiring? Basically the same thing as the HM48110 with a 7 blade adapter/connector instead of the 4 way that the HM48110 has? Thanks again for everything. I will purchase from you guys because of the fantastic customer service you provide.

@Jamied Yes there is. Take a look at this part : - 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector - 3' Long # H20042 This is just a 7-way trailer connector with 3 feet of 7-wire. You could just connect the 4 wires and plug directly into the 7-way on your vehicle. The other 3 wires on the 7-way would just remain unused. I actually like this idea better because no adapter is required. There 7-way plugs are available in longer sizes if you need more wire.

The fat tire straps for the Kuat NV 2.0 #BA22B can only accommodate tires up to 5" so the 6-1/2" tires won't work with this bike rack. Since none of the bike racks are going to be able to fit those tires, I recommend the etrailer…

Once the programming is complete you would be able to remove the SuperChips part #SU1845. It only needs to be connected when programming. After that you could put it in the glove box.
