Can Fulton XLT Powered Drive Trailer Jack Be Powered by Truck's 7-Way Connector

Question

Question:

Can this jack be powered from the trucks rear 7-way, 12V trailer plug? Is the trucks wiring capable of handling the load? I have a 2015 Toyota Tundra with towing package. The review/instruction videos all have a separate stand-alone battery that powers the jack.

The 12V circuit from your truck's 7-Way isn't typically the best source to power a higher-rated accessory like the Fulton XLT Powered Drive Trailer Jack # F141401 that you referenced. You might be able to operate the jack in this manner but it will likely be slow going and you may blow a fuse under the hood depending on the type of load you're looking at.

The best way to power an electric jack really is with a dedicated 12V battery like you mentioned. This will ensure quick and reliable operation whenever you need it. I have attached a short video review on this jack that you can check out as well.

Can the black and white wires on the XLT be wired into a 7 way plug?

@Tony The power and ground wires could potentially be wired into the 7-Way's wiring, assuming the 12V wire/pin is active. Just like I talked about above, though, depending on how much power that circuit's actually sending out, it might have a tough time operating the jack efficiently. Worth a shot though!

Answer 1

The Fulton XLT jack part #F141401 would need to run to the 12 volt accessory circuit of the 7-way on the trailer for the black wire and then to the ground circuit for the white wire. If you check out the attach diagram you'll see where these…

You could use a 2-pole connector like the #HM47965 to wire the Fulton XLT Powered Drive Trailer Jack #F141401 to connect to the power and ground wire on the jack and route it to your vehicle battery, but a much easier way is just adding a 7-way…
