Features to know about

Installs Fast Without Cutting Wires: Plug-In T-Connector

Wiring a trailer doesn’t have to mean splicing or chasing down factory wires. The Curt T-Connector plugs directly into your vehicle’s existing harness behind the rear bumper to create a clean 4-flat trailer connector. It’s a straightforward plug-and-play setup that gets you towing lights in minutes without any guesswork.

Adds Basic Trailer Lighting in One Step: 4-Flat Connection

Once installed, the 4-flat connector gives you what most trailers need—running lights, brake lights, and turn signals. It’s the standard plug used for small and midsize trailers, and it connects easily to most wiring adapters and accessories.

Ready to Expand When You Need More: Convertible to 7-Way

Starting with a solid 4-way makes it simple to upgrade later. If you decide to add trailer brakes or a 12V charge line, just plug in a 4-to-7 adapter like part #37185 or use an install kit such as #ETBC7. The C56031 provides the base connection needed for either setup, so you can build on it when your towing needs grow.

Works for More Than Just Towing Lights: Power for LED Bars and Accessories

If you’re adding an LED tailgate light bar or other rear lighting, this harness gives you an easy power source without cutting into the factory wiring. The 4-flat plug provides clean, reliable signal connections that keep your setup looking tidy and professional.

Great website ! Greatly appreciated watching the how to videos.

Great product best harness I’ve ever had

Plug and play. Easy. I like easy...rather than splicing wiring, as the local shops all wanted me to do. Excellent.

Quick shipping and great customer servi ce!

Still As Good As New



by:

Product work just like it should, delivery was quick. Will order again from etrailer. Would recommend anyone needing parts for your trailer wiring to use them.



by:

Fit perfect. Directions spot on.



by:

It worked. I thought I was getting a harness that plugs into the main harness that y's off from the plug in the frame. Lucky for me the tail light side of the old harness still worked because all this does is plug into that. I could of done what this plug does for free and a little bit of solder.



by:

Plugged it in and in 5 minutes had trailer lights. Could not find the correct harness at any auto parts stores. Will definitely be back for any needs in the future. Ford F150 2/96 with 3rd door.



by:

Wow! Could not have been easier to connect my trailer harness to my Ford F150. Pull the original connector apart & snap in this "T" plug. Great item. Thanks for the [online video] for letting me know that this item was available.



by:

Curt 56031 for a 2000 Ford F-150. Old factory connector was corroded and beyond repair.
Ordered late Monday night with 2 day shipping. Received midday Thursday . Took less than 5 minutes including cleaning my old plug off. Plugged in and zipped tied in place. Plugged trailer connector and had lights. Best money spent even with two day shipping cost. Left for the Outer Banks with boat on Friday. Hint- Used photo of my connector ends and matched to the Curt 4 way plug in photo.



by:

This was easy to install and youtube has a good video of how to do it. The only drawback is that it does not come with a connection to the trailer hitch. I guess they just want it to be dangling beneath the truck. I went to NAPA and got one for about $5 the added a couple nuts and bolts to finish the installation. This is so much easier than splicing wires.



by:

I bought this product to run a hitch brake light or a led light bar under my tailgate. I currently am running a hitch light. Even though it says it is for trucks without factor hoolups it plugs right in to my truck with factory 7 way. The only problem I have is the wires are so long I ran them close to the hitch and then had to zip tie a least 1ft and a half of wire toghter.



by:

It was a direct fit and everything works according. I plan to continue shopping with this company



by:

The product did everything it was supposed to do and was very easy to install on my F150. My existing factory installed harness left turn signal stopped working on my trailer; the problem was isolated to be the truck harness so I ordered this product. The only issue I have is minor; I wish the connector would fit in the factory installed bracket instead of swinging loose.



by:

Cost of shipping and cost of shipping back because it is the wrong one I'm stuck with it



by:

I ordered in-line trailer electrical kit for my 2000 F150. After attempting to get the spliced lights to work for the umpteenth time, this kit worked awesome the 1st time. Unplugged the factory plugs, plugged this in and away I went. PLUS the kit had a really long lead which is always nice. Much better than anything I could find local ...and those didn't fit.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring for 2006 Ford F-150
    If you are using the Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, 7-Way # 118242 on your 2006 Ford F-150, that is most likely the issue. That harness only is compatible with models up to 2004. For your 2006 F-150, you will either use the 4 way # C56031 to give you a 4-way trailer connection or # 74682 if you are replacing a 7-way connector. If you wish to upgrade from a 4-way to a 7-way, then you will want the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185 and after connecting the...

    The Tow Package Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118247 may be a fit for your 2005 Ford F-150 as sometimes the wiring changed part way through the model year change. That harness is a fit for 2004 models and retains the 4-way flat already present. It sounds like you don't have the 4-way and most likely have a connection like the one pictured for 2005 models. In this case you won't have a direct option to add a 7-way but one can still be installed with a couple...

This hitch has a 2" receiver with a maximum gross trailer weight of 10,000 lbs and tongue weight of 1,000 lbs. just like the # C14360.

The Curt hitch part # C13365 would be a fit and work well on your truck. If you check out the install video I attached you can see on the truck quarter panel that it is an STX model as well.

    It sounds like that 2-pin connector you found might be related to power lights or a brake light in/on a camper shell. If it is not that then I am not sure what it would be for but I can tell you that it will not be for trailer wiring. To add a 4-Way on your 2007 Ford F-150 you can use # C56031. I have included a link to a video review of this harness for you.

  • What Makes the etrailer Trailer Hitch Different Than Other Hitches for a 2003 Ford F-150
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e92KR differs from the other fits for your 2003 Ford F-150 in that it has a matte black finish. This not only looks more rugged but is more durable than the classic glossy black finish we see with the other hitches. I really like this finish and recommend it as often as I can. If you don't already have trailer wiring on your truck then I recommend the Curt T-Connector # C55344 if you have a Flareside or SuperCrew or the T-Connector # C56031 if you...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2002 Ford F-150 That Does Not have Trailer Wiring
    You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56031 if you only need a 4-way. Now if your trailer does not have brakes but you do need a 7-way instead all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
