Towing Small Trailer
Good morning!
I need advice/help please :-)
I want to purchase a small trailer that I can haul bales of hay in, not more than 3-4 at a time, at most. I understand electrical is different, what do I need to do? How difficult is it to change the electrical on a trailer so it is compatible?
Is there a write up somewhere that I can follow? i searched and cannot locate anything. I have a great mechanic who will help, if needed.
Thank you in advance!!

That kit noted above is simple plug in and mount and is easiest option. If you want to save a $100, buy a $15 "taillight wiring converter " from Walmart, Amazon, Autozone, etc.
These kits, like the Reese 74209, are spliced into the truck harness at the plug mentioned in the video above. Imports have different turn signal /brake lights than North American vehicles and must be converted with these kits. The plug in kit above is a converter with a factory (expensive) plug attached to it(no splicing needed).
These come with a flat 4way trailer plug which is designed for the smaller trailers and exactly what you need if your trailer has lights.

Why not just throw them in the back seat/cargo area? The only hay that's ever been worth hauling in a trailer with my discos has been round bales! Figure you can haul a single 800-1200lb round bale in a 20/day uhaul trailer.
I've done that, too messy and impossible to clean. I buy 4 at a time and 1. Cannot fit 4 and 2. Not making two trips. Its my daily driver and I'd like to keep Old Blue looking nice :-)
