Re: trailer wiring 04 sport.
Jeff, David said, it was factory wiring, do you really think any auto
manufacturer would install the flat type plug connector? Only Mickey
Mouse types would use it.

7 pin round style is the best choice. You can always adapt it down
to four/three pin. The added advantage is the 7pin gives you 12V and
ground at the bumper, plus the ability to run an e-brake. Take an 7pin
connector and you can build a handy trouble light. Most classIII hitches
have a spot already made for the connector. Not that the 4pin won't work.

Re: trailer wiring 04 sport.
Actually, I have two late model Ford trucks in my driveway that came with
factory installed round AND flat connectors side by side. I guess that way
us Mickey Mouse types can have our choice....

Re: trailer wiring 04 sport.
Actually, on a vehicle this small, the flat connector is the most likely to
be used because that is what will be found most commonly on a trailer it is
capable of pulling.
The larger trucks will get the 6- or 7-pin type that can accomodate trailer
brakes and the like, but the flat 4-pin is strictly for lighting. The round
4-pin connectors are all but gone, I have one of these on my motorhome, and
I had to build a jumper to convert it from round to flat. If I ever break
down and get a trailer to carry my Jeep on, I will certainly convert this to
a 6- or 7-pin to accomodate trailer brakes. Trailer brakes are perhaps the
main reason I want a trailer in the first place, but that is another topic.
PS
I recently bought my daughter a 2002 Tacoma that has the flat connector from
the factory, and we looked at Ford F150s that also had flat connectors from
the factory. The point is that manufacturers do indeed use the flat 4-pin
connectors where appropriate. Of course, they will not limit their options
to only this kind of connector, but they will use them where appropriate.
