Question:
Hi. I need a product like the Curt T connected Part Number C56413 for my 2023 Ford F150 XLT. Your website says that product won’t work with my vehicle. If not, what are my alternatives? I’m looking for a simple install just like the Curt T connector. Thank you

Hello Emanuel; the # C56413 fits the 2015 - 2020 models of the F-150 so it won't work with your 2023. If you have a 7-way dummy plug with wiring plugged into the back of it you can use the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975. If you don't have any kind of wiring the installation will be more extensive.
You will have to start by adding a 4-way. You can choose from one of the following based on your lights:
-Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C75WR (Incandescent tail lights, no backup sensors)
-Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C63NR (LED tail lights, works with backup sensors)
-Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C57NR (LED tail lights, no backup sensors)
Once you install your 4-way you will be able to upgrade it to a 7-way using the # ETBC7. This comes with the adapter, wiring, breakers, and everything else required for installation.

Hey Emanuel, how did things go with the wiring setup on your 2023 F-150? Did one of the Curt T-connectors match your tail light and sensor setup? Your update could make it easier for others working on the same truck.
