First you are going to need to determine if your Toyota Land Cruiser has a full 24 volt wiring system or if the 24 volt is only ran on the starting system. This was the most common way several of the vehicles were wired so the tail lighting and other functions would all still use 12 volt power. This would allow you to use the Wiring Harness # C59496 to get a 4-way flat connector. A Multimeter # PT89ZR can be used to verify if your current lighting is 12 volt or 24 volt.

If you have 24 volt wiring and lighting you will need a 24V Converter # C46WR and a 4-Way # HM48030. This will allow you to connect directly to a trailer which is 24 volt compatible. Otherwise you will need to also install 24V to 12V reducers in line between the converter and 4-way if the trailer will only operate with 12 volt power. The reducers can be found at your local auto parts stores.
