Hey Bill, thanks for reaching out!

Yes, you can still install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59DR even if your 2024 Ford Maverick has the factory tow package. This wiring tees in behind the tail lights and then pulls power straight from the battery with the black wire so it will be a separate system from your tow package.

Are you using this to get the lights working on something like a truck topper?

Jon; Thanks for the reply, I want to add some brake/running/turn LED light strips without deactivating the safety systems like happens when using the trailer connections. Sounds like this will work.

Hey Matthew, are you sure the problem isn't the trailer taillights? Do you have a circuit tester that you could test the pins of the 4-way with to see if you can find out if the problem is for sure on the vehicle or trailer side?

Answer 8

The 12V power lead for any wiring kit, including the Curt T-Connector #C59DR for your 2022 Ford Maverick, will potentially need more power than a 12V socket will be able to provide. The whole point of having a separate power and module in a kit like…
