Some trailers need that extra wire for reverse lights or surge-brake lockout, and that’s where this plug shines. The TowSmart converter gives you a 5-way flat connection at the vehicle end, so you get the standard lighting functions plus the extra lead that keeps your trailer brakes or backup lights working right.
You don’t need a full wiring kit when all you need is the connector. This plug-only setup works as a vehicle-end piece with a universal fit, so it’s ready to tie into your existing wiring. It’s ideal if you’re replacing a worn connector or building your own custom harness from scratch.
Mounted at the vehicle end, the connector stays put and easy to reach when it’s time to hook up the trailer. The flat layout keeps the pins protected and straightforward to align, which helps avoid fumbling or bent terminals when you’re getting ready to tow.
This isn’t a one-time use part—it’s made for routine towing jobs like boat trailers, small campers, and utility haulers. The TowSmart 5-way flat plug gives you a reliable connection every time you hitch up, so your lights and brakes respond just like they should mile after mile.
