7 pin trailer harness?

I'm having a heck of a time trying to find a 7 pin rv female plug that plugs straight into the 2 square factory plugs on the bam of my truck. Anyone using one of these or know where to get one. Called a trailer place and he was all confused???!!! Weird

What you're looking for is the Ford factory towing harness. It's a tough one to find. I'm no help, but I will give your thread a bump and wish you good luck!

Cool thanks. I've found them for a 2011 but none for the obs. I think there are 3 square factory plugs on the truck. One of them is hooked up to my 6 pin round. They other two have the trailer brakes the what not.

The part number may be F6TZ-13A576-BA. Not entirely sure if this is correct even though it matches up at Horizon Ford's site.

Pretty expensive, may want to scour the junk yards to see if you can score one. I plan to put a 7 wire connector on my truck but I am just going to hard wire in because corrosion has rotted a couple of the pins on the truck side of the harness, and I'm not paying $100++ for a factory plug in one.

I was hoping the samething. Went to some local truck accesory places and no luck. then when I saw how corroded the pins were and one pulled out, that pretty much was the end of the dream.

I will take some pics and so a little write up for ya'll. it might take a while since I'm working 10-12 hrs a day and working 18 days straight then getting 3 off but I should be able to get it done. Should be able to do it in a couple weeks.

I may have a spare floating around... I'll have to check when I get home tonight. I believe someone spliced into the wires to install another 7 pin in the bed but it worked fine when pulled.
