Which Trailer Connector is Necessary for Towing Small Trailer with 2006 Kia Sportage
Updated 02/22/2010 | Published 02/21/2010
Question:
Can you explain to me what is meant by 4,5,6 and 7 pole adapters. My only intention with having a 2 hitch is to buy a small 4 or 5ft trailer so I can take debris to a landfill occasionally or pick up some larger items from lowes or home depot. Any help would be appreciated.

Expert Reply:
The four, five, six and seven pole adapters refer to the trailer connector that supplies power to the trailer for the lighting circuits. A small utility trailer such as the one you are wanting to purchase would use a 4-pole connector like the one supplied on the end of the wiring harness for your Sportage, part # 33925. Different adapters are offered so that the 4-pole connector can be used with trailers that utilize different connectors.
