Connector Needed to Attach 6-Pole Plug Into Vehicle Tow Bar Wiring for 2017 Ford F-150

Updated 08/16/2017 | Published 08/15/2017

Question:

I have purchased several connectors from you. but am frustated in that they wont work. I have a Prevost bus and it has a 6 pin rounder and i want to hook up to my 2017 Ford F-150 which has a Hopkins wiring harness part # 56009. I enclosed a picture of the round connector. The Hopkins connector I need to connect to is a 4 pin flat receptacle . I really need your help as to just how to connect these two ends.

From the picture that you sent me and the way you described your setup it looks like you already have a connector connected to your RV much like the Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Extension # HM47055. If this is the case then what I recommend doing is cutting the 4-Way flat connector off of the harness on your 2017 Ford F-150 and installing the Blue Ox 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket # BX294-0902 instead.

It is a very easy installation which you can check out in the attached video. When you remove the rubber plug on the back of the socket you will see that the pin locations are labeled so that you know what wires need to be connected to which pin by function. This will give you a 6-Pole connector on your F-150 that will allow you to attached your 6-Pole plug into.
