Flat Towing Wiring Options for 2014 Ford F-150 Platinum
Question:
I have a friend who wants to wire his motorhome trailer lighting to back feed through the towed vehicles, towed wiring that is mounted on the rear bumper of his 2014 F-150 Platinum Ford. Ive told him, he may burn something up doing this back feed, he thinks there will be no circuit on. Who is correct and why?

Expert Reply:
Strictly speaking, both you and your friend are correct. It just depends on which type of toad wiring harness is used.
The link at right will show you all flat-towing wiring kits for the 2014 Ford F-150 Platinum. These include a custom-fit option from Hopkins, part # HM56000. This kit installs without cutting and splicing by plugging in to the F-150 tail lights and includes integrated diodes to prevent feedback. This operates as a combined lighting system.
