Towing package connections

My 1993 Bronco appears to have the towing package, but i have some questions on what the factory towing harness looks like.


It apears i have 2 round 4 pin connectors in the rear of the truck. Are these the connections for the 7 Pin trailer connection?

Does ford just sell the compete harness that plugs into them?

I recall looking for that information several years ago. Long story short, yes there used to be a factory wiring harness to plug into those connectors. If it is still available I remember it was very pricey. A little work with a big soldering iron and universal connector kit worked fine for me for the last 3 '90s vintage trucks I have owned.

I just purchased a T-connector and the 7 slot RV style plug for my '92 F350. I got them from Trailer Hitches, Hitch Accessories, Hitch Wiring for a reasonable price.

I should have mentioned I used the t-style connector for the brake/turn lights and the 7 pin RV connector as well. I cut the battery, ground and brake signal wires from the Ford connectors for use with the 7-pin. That is where the soldering iron comes into play.
