I need the OEM 7-way plug for a 2004 F-150. The 4-way slot is there, but the 7-way with a cover is not, just the plug behind it on the end of the wiring harness.

I think I have found what I need here:
The Hitch Corner sells trailer plugs & wiring products It's about a 3rd of the way down, under 7-way plugs, Part # DT_20015. I've requested a picture of the back so I can confirm it.

Any other ideas outside of the dealership where I can look? (Fordparts.com lists nothing related to towing at all.) Trying to avoid paying dealership prices. I've found a whole new 4-way and 7-way OEM set up, but it is for a towing pkg that was install aftermarket - mine is factory installed and well, I don't feel like sacrificing my taillight wiring to make this one work.

Ideas? I need to be hauling a trailer in a week and a half, so if I need to order something and not pay more than the part for shipping I need to do it soon. I really didn't think it would be this freaking tough to find it.

 

check local salvage/wrecking yards

 

You can buy the plug from any parts house and hard wire it in.

 

You can get either a #40955 or #40975 Hopkins kit. They both are direct plug-in kits. The 40955 has a short harness and the 40975 plugs directly into the back. You can look them up @ Hopkins Manufacturing's website and Oreilly's sells this brand as well as other parts stores.

 

Most any trailer towing or RV supply center has the correct plug and can do the install. The Hopkins kits work well.

 

I have a 2006 F-150 xlt, I have a 4 way flat tow harness and I've been looking for a 7-way tow harness that I could just unplug the 4 way flat harness and plug the 7-way but every thing I find doesn't look right.
The main plug to the truck is a rectangle, the harness should have three branches of wires, the main branch going to the bumper, I'm not sure where the others go. the ones that I found on Hopkins either are single branch or the main plug look different, and the 7-way end also looks different. Do I have to get adapters?
I would like to get something where I don't have to hard wire. I need the brakes and the reverse lights to work.
all help is much appriciated.
