What?? $234 no way

So I broke my trailer plug on my truck a few months back, and yesterday i went into my local friendly dealer to get a another one. First the guy needed my VIN in order to be able to find the part, HUH??? Then I am told that you have to buy the whole wire harness that includes the plug in the back, and by the way that'll be $234. UH NO, I will screw my self before buy that. So does the plug come apart and can I buy it separate for low dollars?

crazy dealer!

 

Try a parts store for it, they should have it for a little less LOL

 

Hey, I actually posted a thread on this. Go to a Honda parts store on line and look under the Ridgeline... Same plug but also includes a 4 pin... just need a little saudering skill to get that one to work. about half the price

 

you can buy individual parts rather than the whole damn thing which is what Toyota makes you do... It's the EXACT same harness

 

This thread at Toyota Nation discusses this.

 

Thanx for the links will be doing the bumper mount. thanks again. what a stupid design

 

Just go get a 7 pin from and auto store and wire it up... Pretty universal!
I would get one like Below ($29.95) Cut the wires and then just wire it into your truck!

Hey brother, where are you in Cincinnati?

 

Wow! $234 for the 7 pin! The wiring harness for the 4 pin is only $40. I'm glad my boat is the 4 pin.

 

I'm in Cleves, about 5 minutes off of I-74. I pass through Amelia a few times to go to the Starlite Drive in. Easy way to see the movie with the kids.

 

Nice, I live like 4 mins from there.
Do you get yours dirty?
If so where?

 

I don't get to much anymore but I have been to harlan county (little bit of a drive) and when I had my old Toyo pickup I took it to Haspin Acres.

 

I know those trails in Harlan (Black Mountain)
I used to take my quad down there
We need to start an alliance for the tri-state
If you ever get the itch hit me up and Ill go with ya

 

you ever go to Big Rock in maysville to ride your quad? not nearly as big as Harlan but still a nice 2000 acres

 

Never been there
Unfortunately I sold my 400EX about 9 months ago, miss her terribly
Liking my 02 taco though, I can get that thing in really tight spots

 

Damn! thought I had someone else to go riding with Got a Z400 and I can't ride it enough

 

I just finished relocating my trailer harness to the bumper by the license plate. I saw the mod, before I ripped mine off, but I didn't do it soon enough. Therefore, I couldn't use the factory one. I wasn't going to get robbed at the dealership, so I scouted around until I found a nice one with a seal on the door. The colors of the wires were different, so I crossed them over. It came out nice, and I won't tear it off any more.

 

looks good! nice easy mod. How,if any, does it affect towing?

 

It doesn't. Unless you count not bending over as far to plug in. Mod is listed in the thread in my sig.
