Recommended Trailer Harness for 2003 Ford F-150
Question:
I am looking to replace my current 4 way towing wire harness on my 2003 Ford F-150 and would like to know what product you would recommend.

Expert Reply:
If your 2003 Ford F-150 came from the factory with the 4-Way flat connector, then your truck already has a towing package wired in. In this case I would recommend 7-Way connect part # 118242. A 7-Way will allow you to tow trailers with 7-Way wiring systems and brakes. You can still use it with 4-Way trailers by using an adapter like part # 47345. Built into this adapter is a circuit tester to make sure truck wiring is hooked up properly.
If you strictly want to use a 4-Way, then the part would depend on the particular model you have. If you have a Stepside model, you would use part # 118344. If you have a Styleside model you will need to hardwire your truck using part # 18252.
