Hi Caleb; how did you decide to convert a 2023 Ford bed into a trailer? The 7-way on your vehicle is designed to work with a trailer that has combined stop/turn signals. To separate this back out and work with the lights on the converted truck bed you will need the Curt 2-to-3 Tail Light Converter # C56196.

Hey Caleb, how did things go using the Curt 2-to-3 tail light converter on your Super Duty bed trailer? It’d be great to hear if the lights worked the way you wanted once everything was connected. Your update could make it easier for others doing a similar conversion.
