Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver side rear bumper. After plugging in the connector, route the 7-way end of the harness along the inside of your bumper toward the center of your vehicle.
Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. If necessary, secure the harness with the provided cable ties.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plug on your automobile and the 7-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

It fits like a glove. Plug and play 35 minutes tops with everything. The only bad thing the zip ties were short. But I'm satisfy with the product and I would recommend it.

Worked perfectly. My 7pin socket was in very close proximity, so I coiled a pile of wire up. I installed a bumper mounted socket, Ford Part # FU5Z-14489-A versus using the supplied scoket, and the wiring plugged right in. Nice product. I installed my trailer brake controller and this finished it out.
by: Bradley09/12/2022
The quality of the product was good but service was etrailer customer service was horrible. I ordered a hitch and a wiring kit with free shipping. They shipped the hitch, but not the wiring harness as it was out of stock, although when ordering it confirmed that it was in available. There was an alternative for a few dollars more. I had to purchase the comparable item on a separate invoice and pay shipping on it. Contacted the company with no response back. They should have contacted me before shipping and offered the alternative item, or shipped the other item with free shipping. Again, happy with the product, but not the customer service.

Put this kit on my 2020 Lariat ranger. Only complaint was the supplied self taping screw broke off when trying to install and the zip ties was to short. Everything else was very simple easy install. I wanted a factory look so I ordered the Hopkins 7way/4way plug separately.

The Curt T-connector surpassed my expectations on ease of installation for the plug. The socket part however was a little more time consuming because I decided to mount it in the factory cut out position in the upper bumper instead of utilizing a separately purchased bottom bracket under the bumper..still relatively easy.
by: John 02/14/2023
Great company with great customer service and products
by: Christopher09/27/2022
For a vehicle specific harness, it’s way longer than it needs to be. There is an unterminated ground wire that’s like, why? Why not terminate that wire against weather? Also, no instructions as to even why it’s there or what to do with it. I hope I’m right in deducing it needed to go to chassis ground, that’s what the wiring diagram I found online indicated. At least the connectors are correct.
by: Shawn09/10/2021
Easy to use and super easy to install. Not many options for the Rangers, but, this worked exactly as needed. Didn’t need a bracket, I used the stock location in the rear bumper. I drilled it out, drilled the factory bumper back plate and ran 2x 1/4-20 machine screws through it.

I remember when things weren't plug and play. Those days sucked, lol. Super easy install. Unplug the factory harness, plug in this jumper harness between. On my 2019 Ranger there is a factory cut out in the bumper for a 7-way. So, I used a 1.5" hole saw to make an opening in the plastic bumper cover to flush mount the plug and give it a factory look. Gave it four stars because I'm a stickler for good directions and these didn't specify what the white wire with the ring terminal end is or where to attach it. I know what it is, but what if I didn't?

Worked perfectly. plenty long enough to putvconnector where i needed it

Very simple installation. Works perfectly. Thanks etrailer again for great information
by: Raymond12/02/2022
Works well. Simple install.
by: Cleveland J06/03/2021
This would get 5 stars if it came with the OEM 7/4 way connector. All Rangers have a place on the number to install that type of plug, but this comes with an oddball that needs an extra bracket to mount to the hitch. I bought the right plug and now have one I don’t need. Otherwise it’s easy t9 install and works just as it should.

This item was just what I needed I had the Sleeve from Ford but no cable or plugs to install under the truck bumper and this fit right into the factory wiring for my New 2020 Ford Ranger. If you don't have a 7 way trailer plug this kit will fit! Thanks!!

This is one of many orders I have placed with etrailer.com. I purchased this for my Ford Ranger. Perfect fit the first try. If you need trailering items for your truck, boat, Jeep, or motorhome this is the place to shop.

The hitch went in without a hitch.The wiring harness plugged in easily. The mounting bracket for the plug-in didn't match the holes but a drill took care of that. Less than 45 minutes to install! All in all, nice.

Easy to install! I bought a Ford Motocraft OEM 7pin & regular connector that was Oval shaped to fit the punch out in my bumper. Worked great and was a seamless install!

- When Installing the Curt C56431 on a 2019 Ford Ranger Does the Factory 4 Way Still WorkYes. The Curt # C56431 tees into the existing factory wiring and will leave your factory 4 way connected, so you'll still have the ability to use that for towing as well. I've linked the installation video of this harness for you to have a look at, which shows how this all works.
view full answer... - No Power On Charge Line Circuit Of Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness Installed On a 2020 Ford RangerYou will want to check the fuse for your trailer charge circuit. As your 2020 Ford Ranger did not include a factory 7-way the fuse may have been left out of the fuse block. You will need to locate the fuse box in your engine compartment to check for the fuses. Your owners manual will help you to identify where the box is and which fuses you will need to check if they are in place and not damaged. The fuse box you need is located directly behind the battery. You will need to check for...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Lights With Hitch Cover and Curt Harness on 2019 Ford RangerThe issue is almost certainly with the hitch cover that you are using after you installed with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # C56431. A number of hitch covers have been known to wreak havoc with Ford trucks and cause faults in the dash when used so I recommend removing the hitch cover and the issue will abate.
view full answer... - Wire Color Code for Curt 7-Way Wiring Harness for Ford RangerThe backup lights wire you are looking for in the Curt 7-Way Harness, # C56431, is the Red wire. If you test that wire and find that it doesn't have any power, then you will want to check to make sure there is a 10 amp fuse in slot 34 in the engine compartment fuse box. The tow package back up lights are on their own fuse and sometimes manufacturers are known to forget that fuse from time to time. The color code for this harness is as follows Black - 12 volt Battery Power Brown - Tail...
view full answer... - How to Install Trailer Wiring on a 2020 Ford RangerTo install trailer wiring on your 2020 Ford Ranger I recommend the T-Connector # C56431 which tees into your OEM wiring underneath the vehicle on the driver's side. We actually had the opportunity to install this on a 2020 Ranger and I'm linking the installation video for you to check out.
view full answer... - 2021 Ford Ranger XLT Wiring Harness with or without Power WireThe Tekonsha wiring harness item # 22124 for your 2021 Ford Ranger XLT uses a power lead because they feel like it's needed but the Curt harness item # C56431 will work just fine and eliminates that extra step during installation. I recommend using the Curt wiring harness. I have linked video reviews for both the Curt and Tekonsha wiring harnesses.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Curt C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller Installation on 2019 Ford RangerI spoke with my contact at Curt regarding the issue you're having, and outlined all the steps you'd taken to this point, making sure the fuses for that 12-v circuit are in place, pushed the brake pedal and going through the setup process. I was told that even though you've gone through all those steps, you still WILL NOT show any power on that 12-V circuit on the 1:00 pin unless a trailer is plugged in. The so called 'smart' trailer connector won't deliver voltage on that circuit unless...

If you do not have these components then your truck does not have the factory towing package. To add these components you would need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13417, and the Curt T-Connector 7-way Connector # C56431 as both of these components are a confirmed fit for your truck. I included videos of the products mentioned for you...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Connector for 2019 Ford Ranger with 4 and 7-Way PlugsThe Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56431 is an excellent option for a 2019 Ford Ranger. It comes with a 7-way trailer connector so in order to add a 4-way as well while keeping the 7-way you'd need to replace the trailer connector that comes with using the Curt T-Connector part # C55774 and then you'd be set since it also comes with a mounting bracket.
view full answer... - 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Wiring for Rear of 2019 Ford RangerIt is possible to have both a 7-way and 4-way on your 2019 Ford Ranger by using the # C56431 but you will need to replace the 7-way connector with the # C55774 and you'd have one that has both. This uses the same round connector as what comes with the # C56431 so it would plug right in.

If you do not have these components then your truck does not have the factory towing package. I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13417, and the Curt T-Connector 7-way Connector, # C56431. Please note the linked product review and installation videos below.

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Ranger's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver side rear bumper. This 7-Way connector is compatible with the Curt Echo item # C51180. I have attached a couple of pictures below that will show you what to look for when installing this connector. I have also linked an installation...

- Will Curt T-Connector For 2021 Ford Ranger Work With OEM Style 7-way/4-way Connector?Based on the picture you provided the OEM 7-way/4-way connector for your 2021 Ford Ranger uses the standard connector as the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # C56431 you were looking at. We actually offer the same style 7-way/4-way connector as # HM40975. I included a video of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
view full answer...
- Can the HM40975 Be Used on a 2021 Ford Ranger?From all the info I could find, the 2020 Ranger and the 2021 Ranger both use the same stock bumper. With that being said, the 7 Way plug that is included with the Curt # C56431 can definitely be replaced with the 7 Way plug from the # HM40975.

- Does 7-Way of 2022 Ford Ranger Fit 7-Way of CasitaThe SAE number you listed J2863 is for a standard RV 7-way blade connector like what Casita would use for their trailer wiring connectors. We've not had any issues with the Ford 7-ways and the ones that would come on a Casita. If you ever needed a replacement on your Ranger the part # HM40940 would plug right into the connector on your vehicle. Or for a new harness and 7-way you'd want the part # C56431.
view full answer... - Can An Aftermarket Brake Controller Be Installed On A 2021 Ford Ranger With The Tremor PackageYou can definitely use an aftermarket brake controller on your 2021 Ford Ranger with the Tremor package. Though there is not a port to plug something like the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 into, there are 4 wires under your dash specifically for this kind of application. With that being said, not all trucks came with the 7 Way plug on the back, so you may need to add the Curt # C56431 to get this completed. If you truck did not come with the 7 Way, you will also...

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located beneath the vehicle, on the driver's side. Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket like # 18138 is recommended to keep the connector secure. If you do not have...

With that being said, the Curt T-Connector # C56431 will fit the plug you have. We carry very similar plugs to the one you have as part # HM40975.

- 7-Way and Brake Controller for 2019 Ford Ranger without Trailer WiringSince plan is to install a brake controller too the 7-way kit you'd want for your 2019 Ford Ranger is the part # 22124 which comes with brake controller wiring unlike the Curt you mentioned. Once installed you'd be able to install a brake controller like the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 which is one of our best performing and most reliable brake controllers.

In addition to the trailer hitch, you will also need trailer wiring. The Curt T connector # C56431 is a great option for your vehicle. This unit is easy to install and it easy to conceal under the vehicle. We also...

Even though the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13417 which is confirmed to fit your 2021 Ford Ranger was installed on a blue truck, it will still work on your white truck. The color of your vehicle does not impact the fit & compatibility of this hitch!
