Expert Reply:

Where to start with your wiring harness depends on what available connectors you have under the bumper of your 2020 Ford F-150 and also what trailer connector you're looking to add on your truck.

If your truck already has the square shaped connector, #C56110 will add a 4-way connector for your trailer. If you have a square shaped connector on your truck and want to add a 7-way connector for your trailer,the # ETBC7 is what you need. If you instead have a round shaped connector on your truck and want to add both a 4-way and 7-way connector for your trailer, the # 74682 is what you need.

If you're also needing a hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C86HR is a great choice to get you setup for pulling your trailer or other towing needs in the future. Included are multiple video resources to provide additional information getting started.

Hi there Brian; we have both snow tire chains and cables that fit 275-65/18 tires, though you definitely want to check your owner's manual to see if they are okay to use on your truck. I'm not sure why the dealer would say cables instead of…

The first thing you'd need is the 7-way kit part #118283 which will plug into the trailer wiring port you have at the rear of your truck. And then to convert that to a 7-way and 4-way you'd replace the included socket of this kit with the…

When it comes to removing the 7-way on your 1999 Ford F-150, there should be a grey locking clip like what is in the picture that I have attached. You'll just need to use a screwdriver to push that clip back slightly and slide it off. Once that…
