I have just purchased a car in Miami, Florida and need to trailer it back to Central Ohio. I am leaving to pick it up on the 19th of this month and will return on the 23rd. I will be towing with a 99 Chevy Tahoe with a Class 3 hitch with a flat 4 pin wiring connector. A tow dolly would work too.

I do have an offer from someone for a trailer but the wiring is not compatible (7pin). Obviously I am not willing to cut up the wiring just to make it work for me. I do know there are magnetic and suction type lights availabe that can also be used. A set of those would be welcome too.

I know I can just rent something from U-Haul but my budget is limited and will come from funds that I would rather use to buy a few things for the new car.

Any offers for help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

yes we understood the trailer had brakes, but without an electronic brake controller in the tow vehicle they will not be activated and therefore useless. Maybe I am wrong, but my understanding is that a 7 wire trailer plug is universal. Some trailers might have a 6 wire plug which is different, but I think all 7 wire plugs should be the same.

I agree with Keith. It is cheap to have someone with experience install the electric brake controller. I felt more at ease having the local trailer place wire it up. As expensive as the car I am towing is I didn't want to screw up something as important as the brake controller.
