Depends on the height of the rear end on your tow vehicle and how you have your load balanced on the trailer.

Yea, all that!

1998ta__1991rs · 11-01-2011, 04:16 PM

with the tbss's air bags it should stay level with your standard 2" drop hitch, at least mine did

How many pin connector is it? Walmart has pretty much any adapter you'd need.

ShawnBoyMoody · 11-04-2011, 10:17 PM

Because Racecar! Glad you made it home without a ticket!

BigdaddyDupree · 11-04-2011, 10:25 PM

Advance has the adapter in stock it's like 30 bucks. Neal bought one when he used my trailer

Luckie · 11-04-2011, 10:46 PM

The adapter that comes with the truck only converts to a 4 pin. You have to go after market regardless for the 7 pin like others have said. Also, unless you want to pull the rear valance every time you tow or have a long pigtail on the trailer (which still only helps for that trailer) you should make an extension plug harness. I made one for mine Female one end male the other, to reach under the valnce and back up to where the 7 pin is mounted. It stays in the back cargo area when not being used!

Luckie · 11-04-2011, 10:50 PM

The charging wire on the 7 pin is not hooked up from factory, you have to do so under the hood also. It is easy and self explanatory. If you want trailer brakes the wires are under the dash taped but don't have a plug on them like the full size trucks do!

Carlrx7 · 11-04-2011, 11:07 PM

plan to go this route.

anyone recommend a decent trailer brake? might just go with the one mentioned in the thread above, about 110

thanks guys,, ive heard that from the factory had two adaptors,, 4pin and 7 pin.. most got none..

ShawnBoyMoody · 11-05-2011, 07:39 AM

Kelsey-Hayes makes a good controller but pretty much any controller will do the job.

BigdaddyDupree · 11-05-2011, 09:15 AM

The advance adapter has 4 and 7 pin.
