Adding a 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector to a 2008 Ford F-150 with 4-Way Flat Connector
Updated 12/09/2013 | Published 12/06/2013
Question:
I have a 2008 Ford F150 XLT 4x4 Extended cab. I had the dealer install class 2 Hitch and Four Wire flat plug. Will this wiring fit the same connector in my truck?

Expert Reply:
Wiring harness # C56515 is primarily for GM vehicles and will not fit a Ford truck. If you already have a 4-Way and need to have a 5-Way then the simplest solution is to use # 20036. All you have to do to get the 5th reverse function is to tap into the reverse light wire behind one of the reverse lights. The 4-Way will just plug in. I have linked a video to the right showing a typical installation for you.
