Flat Towing Wiring Options for 2014 Ford F-150 Platinum
Updated 12/09/2014 | Published 12/08/2014
Question:
I have a friend who wants to wire his motorhome trailer lighting to back feed through the towed vehicles, towed wiring that is mounted on the rear bumper of his 2014 F-150 Platinum Ford. Ive told him, he may burn something up doing this back feed, he thinks there will be no circuit on. Who is correct and why?

Strictly speaking, both you and your friend are correct. It just depends on which type of toad wiring harness is used.
The link at right will show you all flat-towing wiring kits for the 2014 Ford F-150 Platinum. These include a custom-fit option from Hopkins, part # HM56000. This kit installs without cutting and splicing by plugging in to the F-150 tail lights and includes integrated diodes to prevent feedback. This operates as a combined lighting system.
