Can 4-Way Trailer Connector On a Bus be Plugged into 4-Way at Back of 2013 Toyota Sienna to Flat Tow
Question:
I would like to connect my bus to my towed Sienna so that the lights and blinkers on the bus work the lights and blinkers on the Sienna. Can I connect the two four prong plugs together without hurting the electronics of the Sienna? Appreciate your advise. Thanks

Trailer wiring harness # 118498 or any harness that is at the back of your 2013 Toyota Sienna is an output device only. What you need is called tow bar wiring. But you may want to check the owners manual for the vehicle to make sure it can even be towed behind your bus. There are no base plates or wiring for the 2013 Sienna so it could be that it can't be flat towed.
If the owners manual says that it can then for lighting at least the easiest solution would be a magnetic light kit such as # RM-2120.
If you need a tow dolly we have # RM-2050-1.
