CURT – 10ft. Custom Wiring Harness Extension (Adds 7-Way RV Blade to Truck Bed) (Part No.56000)

10ft. Custom Wiring Harness Extension (Adds 7-Way RV Blade to Truck Bed)

from

$131.99
There is nothing like the luxury and power that go along with heavy-duty towing. 5th wheel RVs offer a deluxe, home-away-from-home experience unlike any other, while gooseneck trailers possess a strength that far surpasses most other trailer options. As with any trailer, however, 5th wheels and goosenecks must be equipped with the proper lighting and electrical systems, and tend to require even more complex connectors than a standard receiver-type trailer setup. Make things simple with a CURT 5th wheel / gooseneck extension harness. These wiring harnesses are designed to put an extra connector socket in the bed of your pickup truck while still retaining power to the rear connector socket mounted on your bumper. This is done by plugging into the back of the existing original equipment (OEM) harness and routing through the body of the truck to a hole in the truck bed, providing a connector that is ready to accommodate your 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer. This CURT extension harness is designed to work with 7-way RV blade connectors and comes in a length of 10′. It is compatible with certain models of Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Nissan, Ram and Toyota (see application to verify fitment). When you need a towing electrical solution that allows you to switch back and forth between your receiver hitch and specialized trailer hitch, CURT gets you plugged in.

Product Features:
  • Routes a 7-way RV blade socket into truck bed while retaining use of rear socket
  • Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
  • Allows for easy connection of 5th wheel or gooseneck wiring
  • 7-way connects tail, brake, reverse, turn signals, brakes and auxiliary power
  • 10′ extension with right-angle plug for easy installation
  • Spring-loaded dust cover keeps connector clean when not in use
  • Slit loom keeps wires contained and well protected

CURT – Custom Wiring Harness (4-Way Flat Output) (Part No.55316)

Custom Wiring Harness (4-Way Flat Output)

from

$38.49
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness — also called a T-connector — is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Ford F150, F250, F250 HD and F350 (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination — maybe it’s the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it’s a campsite that overlooks one of nature’s masterpieces, or maybe it’s the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Product Features:
  • Plugs into vehicle tail light assembly to provide a 4-way flat socket
  • Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
  • 4-way flat output connects tail lights, brake lights and turn signals
  • Dust cover included to keep connector clean when not in use

A CURT custom wiring connector (sometimes called a T-connector) is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that eliminates the need for cutting, splicing and soldering when installing vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Most vehicles do not come ready to tow. Unless your vehicle has a towing package, it is probably not equipped with a trailer wiring connector. This is where CURT’s custom wiring connectors come into play. A custom wiring connector uses a single original equipment plug to plug into a special socket provided by your vehicle. Though this option is not available on every vehicle, some automotive manufacturers design their vehicles to be easily equipped for towing by supplying a socket, integrated into the vehicle’s electrical system, to readily accept a custom wiring connector. With a CURT custom wiring connector, there is no need to tap into the taillight assembly because a special socket is already provided. This custom wiring connector provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for a variety of vehicles (see application info to verify fitment with your vehicle). CURT custom wiring connectors are designed to be long-lasting and simple to install. They come with dust covers to keep your connector clean when not in use.

Product Features:
  • Plugs into USCAR socket to provide 4-way flat trailer wiring connector
  • Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
  • 4-way flat output connects tail lights, brake lights and turn signals

Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer — whether you’re hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it. CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Though this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector (also called a T-connector) utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle’s wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular connector provides a 4-way flat socket while retaining use of the existing OEM socket. It is designed to be a custom wiring option for a variety of vehicles (see application info to verify fitment with your vehicle). It comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use.

Product Features:
  • Plugs into USCAR connection to add 4-way flat and retain use of existing socket
  • Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
  • 4-way flat output connects tail lights, brake lights and turn signals
  • Dust cover included to keep connector clean when not in use
  • Slit loom keeps wires contained and well protected
