Features to know about

Installs Fast with Plug-In Design: No Cutting or Splicing

Wiring a trailer doesn’t have to mean digging into factory wires. This Curt T-Connector plugs right into the factory tow package connector to create a working 4-pole flat trailer plug. No splicing or wire tracing—just connect it and it’s ready for lights.

Ready for Trailer Lighting: 4-Pole Flat Connector Output

Once installed, the harness gives you a standard 4-flat output for running lights, turn signals, and brake lights. It’s the basic hookup most small and mid-size trailers use, making it easy to connect and go.

Clean Factory Integration: Uses Existing Tow Package Port

This harness ties directly into the existing factory tow package port near the frame rail, keeping the setup neat and avoiding extra drilling or loose wires. It’s a simple way to make use of what’s already built into the vehicle.

Expandable Setup for Future Upgrades: Works with 7-Way Conversion Kits

If you decide to add electric trailer brakes or charge a trailer battery later, this 4-way setup can be converted to a 7-way using an adapter kit like part #ETBC7. That makes it a solid first step toward a full towing setup without needing to redo the wiring down the road.

Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package

Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at the Curt Custom Vehicle Wiring Harness with the four way flat trailer connector for your factory tow package. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2001 to 2002 Toyota Tundra trucks with the factory tow package. On a custom fit part like this, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year, model, vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application.Now, this will provide this four way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights.

It is designed for use with a factory tow package, and it is compatible with the five pole, six pole, and seven pole adapters that we do sell separately. To install this, it does connect very quickly and easily. There's no cutting or splicing of wires. Basically, the tow harness, which is this part here, has the four way on it. This will plug into a connection point that's behind the rear bumper along the passenger side frame rail.

That connector will match this one. Plug it in, and then you'll run your four way out the back. Now, what you also want to do is this module box here. It is a little heavy, so you do want to attach that to a location on nice flat surface so it doesn't bounce around. So, they do include a piece of double face tape that you can use to do that.Now, the harness right here, this harness has a fuse holder in it, and it'll plug into a connector that's under the hood located between the battery and the driver's side fender.

It'll match this connector right here. Once you plug that in, then what you'll do is take this ring terminal end, attach that to the positive battery terminal. Once that's all connected, then you open up your fuse holder, take your included 10 amp fuse, install it into the fuse holder. Once you have that fuse installed, put your cap back on, and you're all ready to go.Now, they do give you a nice set of instructions that'll describe these connections and some extra cable ties to take up any slack in the wiring. Now, this module right here, this is a powered module.

It'll connect directly to your vehicle's battery, and it avoids overloading your vehicle's electrical system. This is constructed using the SMT, which is Surface Mount Technology. Gives you a consistent, reliable performance. It does maximize your trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat, and it also ensures superior operation in rough road condition. Also, if you noticed on the four way, it does come with this included dust cover for your four way, so when you're not plugged into your trailer, you can just put this on there and that'll protect the terminals from any damage or from the elements.A few specs on this wiring harness. The maximum amperage for the stop and turn light circuit is three amps per circuit, and for the tail lights, it's six amps per circuit, but that should do it for the review on this Curt Custom Vehicle Wiring Harness with the four way flat trailer connector for the factory tow package.

Plugged in to factory wiring and works great

Super easy to install, follow the given instructions, took maybe 10minutes to complete for my 02 tundra!



by:

Works great as a replacement for the failing factory converter in my 2001 Tundra. Down one star for the double-stick tape failing, but now it's tie wrapped and all is well.



by:

Did not match my 2002 Tundra wiring harness. Harness Plug was way too large for the cubicles stock harness

Sorry to hear that, Duff. Little surprised it didn't fit. Curt does their homework with this kind of thing and there are typically no issues with their fits. Did you find an alternate solution? Oh and would you like me to get you a return label started?

  • Do All Models of 2001 Toyota Tundra Have Tow Package Connector at Rear of Vehicle
    According to Curt, all models of the 2001 Tundra have the tow package connector located by the driver's side frame rail as shown in the provided photo. If you'd like a mounting bracket, I'd recommend # 18140 that would attach to the hitch crossbar using the included pipe clamp If the hitch doesn't already have a standoff for the bracket to mount to and the # 18144 bracket.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller in 2002 Toyota Tundra
    We can definitely help with a 7-way and brake controller for your 2002 Toyota Tundra but your vehicle was not pre-wired for a brake controller install so the install would be a little more involved. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C55378. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7....
