• Parts Needed For Flat Towing a 2023 Ford F-150 With Blue Ox Tow Bars and Patriot Braking System
  Yes, you will be able to use your Blue Ox Tow Bar # BX7420 and Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR on your 2023 Ford F-150. But you will need a 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 to power the Patriot braking system as the factory 12 volt will not have power when being flat towed. You will need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU33FR for your F-150 along with the necessary wiring components. A Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 is needed as the battery will be drained by your F-150 and the...

• Troubleshooting Parking Tail Lights Staying On In 2025 Grand Cherokee After Flat Tow System Install
  Hi Mark; the # RM-690 diode can be used to prevent backfeeding on the affected circuit. It only allows power to flow in one direction, so if the issue was caused by voltage backfeed into the Jeep’s taillight circuit the diode will correct it. The auto-reset breaker/fuse is only there to protect the wiring from an overload condition, it does not prevent backfeeding. Since the problem started after driving in rain, and you're already replacing the 6-way connector, there is a good chance...

• Adapter For 6-Pin Round Socket On Vehicle And Trailer With 4-Flat
  Hello Willy, thanks for reaching out. If what you have on your truck is a 6-pin round plug like part # # PK12720 (pictured below), you can use the adapter part # PK12717. This will plug in the 6-pin round plug and allow you to hook up the 4-flat plug on your trailer.

• When Truck is Put in Reverse the Trailer Brakes Lock Up
  Are you certain that you have the 6-way connector, like part # PK12720 with the 6 round pins? Or do you have the 7-way connector like part # PK11893 that features 6 blade-type pins with one connector in the center? The two can sometimes be confused. There are two possible reasons why the brakes are locking up on the trailer. If you have a surge or hydraulic coupler on the trailer, such as those typically found on boat trailers, the hydraulic brakes will lock up when the vehicle reverses...

• 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Flat Towing Parts Recommended to Fit with AEV Front Bumper
  Thanks for all of the details and the photos, Dave! From what I'm looking at, you can definitely fit a base plate kit on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon but you'll likely have to modify the metal skid plate to do so. I'll make my recommendations for parts down below, but if you would rather avoid modifying anything on the front of your Jeep then the next best thing would be to haul your Jeep with a trailer. Here are the parts I recommend: - etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit...

• How To Use 7 Way RV Connector To Power Lights And Charge Battery On Towed Vehicle
  I highly recommend installing Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Adapter # HM48470. This replaces your RV's 7 way and gives you a 7 way AND 4 way flat connection. Then you can hook upMagnetic Tow Lights - Red LEDs - 4-Way Flat Connectors - 20' Long Harness # PE26UR directly to the 4 way flat provided on the adapter. These tow lights have a 20 foot long wiring harness; use 48" Long 4-Pole # HM47115 if you need 4 more feet of wiring. For the charge line going to the towed vehicle's battery, you...

• Parts Needed To Adapt From Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar To Non-Binding Motorhome Mounted Tow Bar
  To convert your Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 to a set of motorhome mounted Roadmaster tow bars you will need the Crossbar # RM-067. This will allow you to use tow bars like the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 or our best selling Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 tow bars. The Nighthawk comes with the wiring for a 6 Pin Connector # PK12720 you would need to install on our Jeep.

• Parts Needed To Connect a 5-Pin To a 6-Pin Trailer Connector
  It sounds like you need to go from the 6-Pole, Round Pin Connector # PK11604 to a 5-Pole, Round Pin Socket # PK11502. This would require making an adapter using the 6-Pole, Round Pin Socket # PK12720 and 5-Pole, Round Pin Connector # PK11501. If I have this backwards then just use the other parts listed above. It gets confusing with these connectors since you have male connectors inside a female connector so you never really know which one they are referring too. You can use some of the...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Jeep Wrangler
  The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. We don't have a kit that includes everything you'd need for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler but we can help piece it all together. For a base plate kit you'd want the part # RM-521453-5 which is a confirmed and would work great with the Nighthawk tow bar # RM-676. Then...

• How to Tow a Trailer Designed for a Harley Streetbike with a Vehicle with a 4-Way
  We have what you would need to make the adapter you would need, but we don't sell one ready to go. What you will first need is the # PK12720 for your trailer to plug into, next you will need a signal converter to take the combined signal of your Jeep's 4-way to the separate signal of your trailer. For that you would want the # C56196. Lastly, you would need # HM48110 for a 4-way to plug into the Jeep 4-way. When connecting the converter to the 4-way the wires will match up color for color,...

• Will 2 Ground Wires Fit Together Inside a 6-Pin Connector For Flat Towing a Vehicle?
  On a 6-Pole, Round Pin, Plastic Trailer Wiring Socket # PK12720 there is typically only enough room for one wire for each terminal to mount inside the stud. You can still splice both the ground wires together and run a single wire into the terminal on the connector.

• Replacing Trailer Wiring Harness on a 1976 Jayco Eagle Pop Up Trailer
  Replacing the wiring harness on your 1976 Jayco Eagle pop up trailer should be fairly easy. If your trailer is set up with brake/turn signals, and tail lights only then I would remove the factory square 6-way wiring connector and replace it with a 4-way flat connector, item # 18004. This connector will wire as follows the white wire should go to ground on the trailer frame, the brown wire attaches to the trailer tail light wire, the yellow wire attaches to the trailer left turn and brake...

• Can Hopkins HM56202 be Wired into 6-Way Connector on Front of Towed Vehicle
  Absolutely! We actually recommend doing this exact install a lot of the time. Using a 6-way, like part # PK12720 for an example, at the vehicle's front allows you to install additional wiring for a braking system or charge line but doing it this way makes it an easier install because the Hopkins # HM56202 is the easiest to install harness for your 2004 Jeep.

• Wiring Harness to Install a p2 Trailer Brake Controller on a 2002 GMC Yukon Denali
  The P2, Prodigy 2, Tekonsha P2 or Prodigy 2 are all the same brake controller, # 90885. We usually just call it the P2. For your 2002 GMC Yukon Denali and the P2 brake controller you would need harness # 3025-P. It is possible that you have a 6-Way connector on your Yukon. A 6-Way will have round pins, like # PK12720. But you might actually have a 7-Way blade style, such as # PK11893 which has 6 outside pins and one center pin. Either set up does have a brake output circuit so the controller...

• What Circuits do the 2 Wires on a Trailer Surge Brake Actuator Wire To
  Your surge brake setup has an electric lockout solenoid. Either one of the wires on your brake needs to run to the reverse light circuit on your trailer connector and the other wire needs to ground. Doesn't matter which you use as they are not polarity sensitive. On a 6-way the most likely pin to carry the reverse light circuit would be the center pin.

• Using 12-Volt Accessory Feed From Trailer Connector to Maintain Battery on Pop-Up Trailer
  Typically, the blue wire on a 6-way connector is used to carry the output voltage from the brake controller. The 12-volt auxiliary feed, which usually feeds the center pin on the trailer connector can be used to maintain a fully charged battery, but will not have enough amperage to charge a dead battery.

• Tow Bar Wiring to Flat Tow a 2008 Honda Element Behind a Motor Home
  We actually don't carry any flat tow wiring for your 2008 Honda Element that plugs directly into the vehicle's wiring. We used to but it's been discontinued. What is in the instructions for the base plates is just the connector that would be at the front of the vehicle and for that you can use # DM9523004.

• Can a 1997 Ford Taurus be Flat Towed Behind a Motor Home
  I found an online copy of the owners manual from Ford for your 1997 Ford Taurus. It states that you can only flat tow with 4 wheels down for a maximum of 50 miles and at speeds no greater than 35 miles per hour. To tow the vehicle further and at higher speeds you would need to use a tow dolly. Please check your owners manual and/or contact a Ford dealer for more information. We do have a tow dolly that you can use. Take a look at Roadmaster tow dolly # RM-2050-1. This unit features lights,...

• Proper Wiring Technique For Flat Towing A Jeep
  For the wiring diagrams either is correct as long as it matches up, that being said the one from the FAQs page would be the more typical setup. It's always recommended to check the functions of the wires beforehand using a circuit tester # PTW2992 to ensure you're properly wiring your components. Since you're going to be flat towing your Jeep you'll actually want to use a 6-pole instead of a 4 pole since there isn't an adapter to go from a 4-pole round to 7-pole socket. You can use the...
