It worked well and was easy to install, but mine didn't come with any of the bolts. So we had to find our own

I have a 2023 Wilderness Subaru Outback that will be receiving the Reliance Braking System and the 7-Way Type & 4-Way Flat Connector. Will the mechanic need to run the brake wiring from the hitch area all the way to the front of the vehicle or is the 2023 Subaru Wilderness Outback 4-Pin equiped with the brake wire near the hitch that came with the vehicle. If the brake wiring needs to be run from the hitch area all the way to the front, where do they run the wiring? under or through the car panneling up to the front of the car? Is there an area on the front console of the Wilderness available to receive the Reliance Brake Contoller box? If not, will I be able to determine where they place it for cosmetics and easy access?
Hey Tom! I would suggest contacting your local U-Haul Center and speaking to the hitch pro. Have a great day!

My 2020 Toyota highlander came with a 4-way flat connector but my tent trailer uses a 7-way hookup. Will this allow me to pull my trailer?
Hi, Daniel! 7-Way Spade Type & 4-Way Flat Connector 47185 will carry the 4-flat's turn, brake and running lights with the option to add brake control and battery charge. I hope that is helpful!
What is the gauge of the wire that runs up to the battery?

I have a 4 flat hook up on my 2001 Tundra (female end). Is this the only piece I would need to convert it to take a 7 way horse trailer hookup (not including breaks). I had been told in the past you could use a converter for a 7 to haul a flat 4 but not the other way around and that I’d have to get my truck re wired with a 7 prong?
Hello, Hayley! This wiring connector 47185 will convert your 4-flat to a 7-way trailer wiring harness. This part also includes mounting bracket and hardware. I hope that is helpful!
My 4 pin is already connected to the battery. Will I need to run another wire from this adapter to the battery?
Hi, Tim! Unless you are using it for a brake control, you would not need to run another power wire. I hope that is helpful!
You installed my tow package with a 4-way flat connector. Is this all I need to use a 7-way? Or Will I need additional wiring to utilize the 7-way spade functions such as for braking?
Hi, Kim! You will need additional parts and wiring for electric brake functions. Please visit or contact your local U-Haul Hitch Center for parts and pricing. Thank you!

i need information on how to install this product
After installing the mounting bracket to your desired location, simply plug the 47185 4-flat connector to the vehicles pre-wired 4-flat connector. Ground the 47185 white wire to a clean surface on the vehicles frame. These simple steps will power your trailer turn signals, brake lights and running lights.
You will then be left with 3 wires to attach if applicable:
• Black wire - When properly installed the black wire charges the 12 volt trailer battery.
• Blue wire - When properly installed the blue wire powers the trailers electric brakes.
• Purple wire - The purple wire is typically attached to the vehicles reverse light for releasing a boat trailers lockout brakes.
