Basic Trailer Wiring
All regular, double cab, and crew
cab pickups have a seven-wire
trailer towing harness.
For vehicles not equipped with
heavy-duty trailering, the harness is
secured to the vehicle's frame
behind the spare tire mount. The
harness requires the installation of a
trailer connector, which is available
through your dealer.

PackageFor vehicles equipped with
heavy-duty trailering, the harness
connector is mounted in the bumper.
The seven-wire harness contains
the following trailer circuits:

too light for Tow/Haul Mode, or the
vehicle is not equipped with Tow/ Haul, turn on the headlamps as a
second way to boost the vehicle
system and charge the battery.
