Hey everybody, Ryan here at trailer. Today on our 2021 Ford Ranger we're gonna be checking out and showing you how to install the RoadMaster six way round connector plug. So just to kind of give you guys an idea on what your connector plug will look like when you're not using it, whenever you're just kind of cruising around town, you can see it's gonna do a pretty good job of blending in. Thankfully the Ranger has a lot of different spots where we can mount this up and it's kind of dark in this area. So with the plug being black in color it does do a great job just kind of, blending in to the front of your Ranger so it don't stick out too bad. With that said, when you're not using it it does have a spring loaded cap and it's pretty tight actually.
And so that's going to have a seal on the bottom and sit up nice and tight against a connector plug itself and that's what's gonna help keep out any dirt, debris, moisture and things like that, which are in my opinion the number one demise for these plugs is corrosion. So with this cap on there that should really help that out. So whenever you are ready to use it and you hook up your flat tow components all you have left is your wiring. The connector plug is going to accept wires like this with the six way round. And when you plug these in what's nice is that connector plug is super tight, not loose and it really doesn't loosen up over time.
You see a ton of these come into the shop and they pretty much stay tight. So gives you a little confidence knowing hey it's not gonna wiggle around then my lights aren't gonna work when I'm driving down the road. With that said, I can think of a few different reasons why you would need just a connector plug. One of them being, it ended up getting damaged, maybe a rock flew up here, something and busted it or you could potentially over tighten the screws that hold it and then crack it or something like that. Or if you have an old kit that you're transferring over to a newer vehicle and just wanna be on the safe side, have a new connection up here.
Couple of other reasons, some kits, some wiring kits actually don't come with the connector plug. So you can pick this one up to try to complete the package. I've seen other kits that do have the connector plug and they're just kinda chinchy, so you could upgrade to a better one. Like I said, we have a ton of experience with these plugs in particular almost every flat tow set up that we do we end up using this. So they're reliable and we know they work out well.
So at the end of the day, a great replacement or even upgrade to your tow bar wiring setup. Now, as far as getting this hooked up super straight forward, everything is labeled and so you really can't, you really can't hook it up wrong. With that said why don't we go ahead pull into the garage and put it on together now. To get the connector plug hooked up we're gonna here at the front and we're gonna be hooking it up to our existing diode wiring here. I'm gonna set the plug aside for now kind of get everything else ready. You gotta take the rubber plug or the rubber dust cover rather off the connector plug, slide that over your wires kind of just push that back out of the way for now. And then we need to strip each individual wire back a little bit. You can then grab the connector plug. All right and if you look at the back of it we're gonna have several terminals. We're gonna be using four them and they are labeled. So this one here is labeled TM for taillight, brown wire will go to it. This one here is labeled GD for ground, so the white wire will go to it. We have LT for left turn, so the yellow wire there. RT for right turn, so the, green wire will go to it. And something I wanna mention if you happen to have a charge on it or something like that the majority of the time you'll hook that to the center, if that's your scenario. But that said, the other way these are gonna work is you're just gonna back the set screws out so you can use a small Phillips screwdriver run these out. I try not to take them out completely cause they being so small, they're easy to lose and even if you do find it they're kind of tricky to get started back in there again. So just back it out a little ways. And what's gonna happen is we can then hook each wire to the corresponding terminal. So we'll start with this one, which is TM for tail, put the brown wire in it. Kind of hold it in place and then tighten down that set screw. So I do that same thing for each individual wire. So this is what the wires look like when they're all hooked up. And what you can do is apply some dielectric grease to the terminals to help prevent any corrosion. I wait until the very end to do that, once I test it and make sure everything is working and our flat tow set up is complete that way if you have to make changes we don't have to deal with all that grease. So for the time being we'll just take our cover there slide that back over it. And then I'm gonna attach it to this bracket. It just needs a couple of screws. And then once we have it all secure, what we're able to do is we'll plug our wiring in, test it out and make sure all of our connections are hooked up properly and everything is functioning. So I went ahead plugged in to our test box. Now we can check all of our signals, try our tail lights, our left turn, our right turn, and our brake lights. And that'll finish up our look at and our installation of the RoadMaster six way round connector plug on our 2021 Ford Ranger..

I checked with Roadmaster and also our stock. The connector design has changed and no longer has the Roadmaster logo on it. We are working to update the pictures that we have on our site.

I wanted to reach out to you in regards to your review on the 6-wire trailer connector. I am happy to see if we have a connector that you are looking for. Did you need it to be a 7-pin connector? Or were you looking for a metal connector?

Thanks for following up on this. Yes, I was wanting the 7-pin connector, the one with a center pin and 6 blade connectors arranged in a circle. That is what I currently have on my coach and I wanted it to match that.

I am researching to see if there is connector that will work. It is a little trickier when it comes to the connectors for flat towing. I do have another question for you. What kind of adapter are using to go from the RV to the vehicle currently? Is it a 7 to 6 adapter?
Brian

The one coming from the coach is a 7 pin.

The parts that I recommend would be part # C67UR and part # C39HR. Part # C39HR is a 7 way to 7-way extension with a 7-way connector for the front of the vehicle. You would need part # C67UR which is the mount bracket to use to install the 7-way on the vehicle. It could be mounted to the base plate or front grill of the vehicle. You will need to find the best location for it.
