Replacement 7-Way Trailer Connector For a 2013 Toyota Tacoma With Factory Tow Package

Updated 10/29/2021 | Published 10/28/2021

Question:

My 2013 Tacoma came with the factory towing package - I recently broke the 7-way trailer connector off and need to replace it. Is there a plug-and-play replacement available that uses the harness socket, or will I need to splice in a new unit wire-by-wire? Thanks!

There are a couple different 7-way wiring harnesses that were installed on your 2013 Toyota Tacoma. Your 7-way may have a connector at the 7-way connection that will allow for you to quickly change it for a Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-Way # HM40950. You will need to check your 7-way for this connection point and also inspect the connector to determine if it is also damaged.

If you do not have a connector at your 7-way or you have a damaged connector the Universal Wiring Harness # HM40985 will allow for you to splice into the factory wiring as we do not have a 7-way harness that matches your factory connection on your Tacoma.
