Can 7-Way Trailer Wiring Install on 2024 Ineos Grenadier  

Updated 05/04/2026 | Published 12/09/2025

Question:

For my 2024 Ineos Grenadier, adding trailer wiring. I understand that lights in newer vehicles use signals and not power to turn on the lights. Is there a powered trailed light converter that includes the reverse lights, so I can install a 7 pin socket.

Hey Neil, so we can help install trailer wiring on your 2024 Ineos Grenadier but we don't have anything custom fit for your vehicle so you would need to start with a 4-way that requires splicing into the vehicle taillights like the Curt # C59236. Then to convert to a 7-way you'd need a similar universal style adapter with the part # 37185. Then to activate the reverse light circuit you would need to tap into the reverse lights of your vehicle and run the wire to the purple wire of the 37185. I know you were looking for a custom fit option and I wish we had something but this will work and as long as you can do a bit of wiring it will install reasonably easy.

I understand what you are saying but I have been told that tappinig into the reverse lights only provides the signal, not enough power to actualy work the lights and then would throw a error code. That is the reason you need a powered light converter, is there such a thing as a powered converter for just the reverse lights.

@NeilS you could use the part # PK5231201. You'd run from the battery on the outer studs and then use the reverse light circuit signal for the center post and you'd be set.

Hello, There are a lot of Grenadier owners out there that would really like to see a custom trailer wiring soulution, including trailer brakes. I guess I'm just writing this because I hear it and see it on forums all the time. What's it going to take? Thanks for letting me vent! LOL Bill G.

@BillG No prob! If you want to know who to vent to to make it happen though I would try Curt. They are always looking for what to develop next for vehicles.

@JamesonC I too am trying to install a custom set up on the Grenadier. I am going to use the Curt converter that you recommended and I already have a seven pin socket with a USCAR plug. The plan is to wire up a 7 wire USCAR pigtail to the converter output, and then the remaining positive wire to a switch and fused battery source...then the reverse signal to a relay (instead of the solenoid you mentioned). The only remaining wire is the one that would go to the blue (trailer brake) input on the pigtail. Because I intend to use the Redarc Link, which simply plugs into the USCAR pigtail outlet and then into the 7 pin socket, should I simply use the brake signal wire (the one that goes to the third brake light or one of the taillights) for the blue wire input of the pigtail that goes to the USCAR/Redarc? That would put the Redarc downstream and it would similar to running the brake signal wire to the hardwired Redarc model (and it would convert the signal before it went to the blue output wire).

@Rik The Redarc doesn't actually need a brake output circuit as it supplies this for the trailer wiring so you can leave that off. It just needs the taillight circuits and then the 12 volt accessory circuit.
