Looking For 7-Way To 4-Flat Adapter

Question

Question:

I am looking for an adapter to connect a 7 blade vehicle connector to a 4 flat trailer connector. The 4 flat trailer connector was used with a 2016-2019 Ford F150 Platinum 4 flat Ford factory installed connector. My vehicle was a 7 flat connector and none of the standards 4 flat adapters will work because the Ford connection is in a well that the flat 4 trailer connector plugs into. I have pictures but was unable to attach them. Thank you

@JamieD That is an interesting looking 4-flat plug. I even showed it to a few of my associates and none of them had seen one like that before. We do not carry any 7-way adapters that will work with this plug. My suggestion is to simply remove the 4-flat trailer plug and replace it with something more standard like our part # HM48110. You could then use any standard 7 way adapter like part # PK12716.

@JesseM thank you for your responses and sharing your knowledge. Below I purchase the HM48110, I wanted to ask one more question. Is there a 7 blade adapter that I can connect directly to the 4 way trailer wiring? Basically the same thing as the HM48110 with a 7 blade adapter/connector instead of the 4 way that the HM48110 has? Thanks again for everything. I will purchase from you guys because of the fantastic customer service you provide.

@Jamied Yes there is. Take a look at this part : - 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector - 3' Long # H20042 This is just a 7-way trailer connector with 3 feet of 7-wire. You could just connect the 4 wires and plug directly into the 7-way on your vehicle. The other 3 wires on the 7-way would just remain unused. I actually like this idea better because no adapter is required. There 7-way plugs are available in longer sizes if you need more wire.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
