Question:
I have a 2005 Toyota LandCruiser with a broken 7 blade connector. It connected to a female 8 blade connector that connects to the vehicle with a 8 pin blade male connector. I have pictures of both. This is a picture of the male connector coming from the vehicle. Im interested in replacing the 7 blade with a combo 7 blade - 4/5 pin trailer connector. Do I need to ditch the existing vehicle male connector and splice the wiring or find a female 8 pin connector that will fit? thanks, KC

Expert Reply:
KC, I'd still replace the factory 4 way with # C55245, but then swap the 7 way you have with the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-, 5- and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48470.

Bryce - Thanks for the reply! I added pictures of the following: - 7/8 blade male that is connected to the trailer - with a 7 blade female extension going into the 7 blade trailer connector. Will the 4 blade female work with the 7 pin male that goes to the vehicle? I checked the fit guide with my 2005 landcruiser and it said "NOT CONFIRMED TO FIT 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser". Sorry for the confusion, this is my first time wiring for a trailer. KC
