2023 Ford Explorer - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector

  • 4 Flat
  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • No Converter
  • CURT

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Ford Explorer with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into 7-way OEM tow package wiring harness - no cutting, splicing or tapping required.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Designed for use with a factory tow package that has a 7-way connector
    • Retains 7-way connector functionality
  • Connects quickly and easily - no cutting or splicing of wires
    • Locate connection points behind rear bumper
    • Plug in T-connector
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector
  • Limited 1-year warranty


Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located behind the rear bumper. Simply plug the harness in-line with your existing 7-way wiring harness.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

1 year &amp still works great, very easy plug &amp play setup. I recommend putting a small amount of white lithium grease on those connecting, helps protest against rusting.

After a year, I am so happy I bought this adapter! It has worked well, and solved a few problems I had with a need for multiple hookups. I will look to Curti in the future and savee some time and work.

2018 Dodge Ram Pickup

I installed my Curt T-Connector today to my 2018 RAM 1500 Sport 4x4 Crew Cab. The mileage on the truck is at 10679km's. Although warned that the spare tire might require removal (via web site info from fellow RAM owners) that was not the case as there was enough room to remove the OEM connector (which is the short end of the assembly) from the factory housing. The actual disconnect and re-connect took only a couple minutes. I spent a about 15 or 20min's trying different wiring run routings for the aux. four connector plug wiring run. Some tie-wraps where installed to snug things up out of the way and I was done. I also dosed the connections with a shot of Krown 77 lube/rust inhibitor. I'm in the "Great White North" so salt use on roads is a given during the winter months. A quick test run of the lights and I was done. The build quality of the T-Connector is very good..equal to OEM or better I'd say.

Awesome!! I bought an OPT7 triple LED light bar for my Chevy Colorado and I didn’t want to splice wires or lose a whole lot of time trying to figure out how to wire it up so I googled and I came across a gentleman who used this product and Im very thankful for this connection and my light bar works smoothly and I have full use of the reverse camera AND I don’t have any wire mess outside or underneath my truck! Easy to install, my first time doing this and it literally took me about 2 minutes, if that! Definitely would recommend this product to anyone with a truck!! Thank you guys!!

Yup. Still works after a year in operation. The only thing I am unhappy with is my vehicle thinks there is always a trailer connected and the backup sensors and side sensors are automatically disabled.

  • Hidden Hitch & Trailer Wiring For 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    We can get your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee set up with the Hidden Hitch and 4-way trailer wiring. Just keep in mind the correct 4-way will depend on if your Grand Cherokee has the factory tow package or not; I'll go ahead and list out what you need below: - Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT26GR - WITHOUT Factory Tow Package: Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C62VR OR - WITH Factory Tow Package: Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C55384

  • Recommended Hidden Trailer Hitch, Wiring, And Bike Rack For a 22021 Ford Explorer XLT
    Great it sounds like you are already on the right track here. The Draw tite hidden hitch # DT66GR is a great choice for your 2021 Ford Explorer XLT. Once installed, only the 2" Receiver is visible under the bumper. Once you pull the pin and remove the receiver, you will not even know its there, save for a small square cut out of the underbody panel, which is really not visible to the naked eye. The 2" receiver will be perfect for a jet ski trailer and virtually any bike rack. For your...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2023 Ford Explorer
    For a 2023 Ford Explorer you would need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56093 if you did not have the factory trailer connector. If you did you would instead need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C55384. For the trailer hitch I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU78FR. I've attached some video below that will help walk you through the installation process of these products if you plan to do them yourself.

  • How to Add Additional 4-Way Connection to a 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty
    I've got a quick and easy solution for you with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C55384. This tees in behind your current 4-Way/7-Way using the US CAR connection and gives you an additional 4-Way that you'll be able to use the same time your 7-Way is being used. I recommend picking up the Brophy Mounting Bracket # BK4F and N-Drill Mounting Bracket # 18136 so the additional 4-Way can be held in a place that has easy access.

  • Will Curt Wiring Harness Require Activating Circuits at Dealer on 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The answer to your question depends on whether or not your 2018 Grand Cherokee has the tow package. Assuming you do have the tow package, the Curt # C55384 will work without the need to take it to the dealer. If you do not have the tow package, the circuits would need to be activated for the wiring harness to function properly. If you don't have the tow package it will probably save you some money to install the # C62VR instead of taking it to the dealer.

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Without a Tow Package
    Your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee may have the connector needed but it's not active. First, I would use a circuit tester such as # PTW2992 to test the connector to see if it's active. Since your Jeep did not come with a factory 7-Way you may need to have the dealer reprogram the computer to activate the trailer wiring harness. The harness will plug into the connector though. There are 3 trailer wiring kits we currently offer that works with your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee as long as the connector...

  • Does 7-Way to 4-Way Adapter part # C55384 Fit 2018 Ford F-150
    As long as you have a 7-way at the rear of your 2018 Ford F-150 the 4-way adapter part # C55384 is going to work and install easily. We can guarantee this without having to worry it won't fit. The 7-way style this fits is the industry standard 7-way seen on basically all trucks out there so it is very universal.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness That Plugs Into 2023 Chevy Colorado
    While we do not have any trailer hitches for your 2023 Chevy Colorado, there are trailer wiring harnesses that plug right in. I'm not sure if you were asking for a 4-way flat or you have a 4-way and want to upgrade to a 7-way so I'll cover both bases and give you options for each. Also, the 7-way also has a 4-way connected to it so you can tow a trailer with either a 7-way or 4-way: - 7-Way: Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness - 7-Way and 4-Pole Flat Connectors # C55774 - 4-Way: Curt...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2020 Ford Explorer Without Tow Package
    The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118599 is a fit for a 2020 Ford Explorer without the factory tow package. If you did have the factory tow package you would then use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55384. The T-One plugs in behind the tail lights so it bypasses the factory tow package wiring whereas the T-Connector plugs into the factory tow package port. If you don't already have a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # CU78FR which...

  • Will the Curt T-Connector Harness Work On a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Without Tow Package
    The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55384 is a fit for a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. That said, although the plug needed to use this will be present on all models, only those equipped with the factory tow package will have the circuits active. Therefore, if you wanted to use this you'd need to take the vehicle to the dealer for programming. This can be expensive so a much better option would be to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118727 which is for models without...

  • Does Curt 4-Pole Wiring Harness # C55384 Have Locking Tabs on the Round U.S. Car Connectors
    The round U.S. Car connectors used on the Curt harness # C55384 you referenced do have locking tabs to keep the joined parts secured. On this particular harness those locking tabs are grey and can be seen in the brief video I have created for you in which I demonstrate how to release them. These do need to be depressed in order for the connector halves to separate.

  • What is the Difference Between the etrailer e67AR and Curt CU74FR for My 2021 Jeep Gladiator?
    The etrailer - 2" # e67AR and the Curt - 2" # CU74FR for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator are virtually identical. They have similar designs and the same capacities. It is also important to note that these hitches are not designed to fit diesel models. If you are planning on towing with your vehicle, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534 along with the T-One Wiring Harness - 4-Way # 118786 (if you do not have a factory tow package) or the Curt T-Connector # C55384 (if you have a factory...

    Thanks for the picture! The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13277 you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2017 Audi Q7. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Audi with included hardware. To be level you will typically want your ball mount to be within 3" of the height of your trailer's coupler. The receiver on your Audi will be right at 12" above the ground so you will want to use the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches item # C45338. This ball mount will give you 7" of rise. You will also...

  • High Capacity Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD to Replace Factory Hitch
    For your 2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD we have the Draw Tite part # 41944 which is a Class V confirmed as a fit for your truck once you remove the factory hitch. This will also work with your front Torklift tie down # TLC2205 but you'll need to go with a new rear tie down part # TLC3205. For a 4-way you can install inline with your 7-way we have the part # C55384 which will work great. This 4-way is 36 inches long so you would probably not need an extension.
