What type of electrics do i need to make my Kluger a trailer friendly car?

Just a small trailer will be used, big enough to cart the camping stuff in

You will need a socket on the back of the Kluger which connects to tail lights, indicators and brake lights. Reversing lights are not required.

Sockets are either five, six or seven pin round, or 7 pin flat (see the diagrams here). 12 pin flat is for more complex systems. Flat sockets are neater and less conspicuous. If you ever hire a trailer the hire place will have a box full of adaptors to suit any socket you have.

You won't need the electric brake connection as your trailer will not be over 750kg - if you think you may load it above this level, get one with a mechanical or hydraulic override brake.

Thanks KJ
You have been a great help, the chick at Toyota had less of a clue than me. 7 pin flat sounds just the job

You're welcome. Just make sure they wire up to the correct pins - you don't want a unique set-up that no other trailer will work with!

Oz Wiring standards in big pictures. I would have thought whoever is doing the towbar will also do the electrics if you were going after market.

Did see a set on email for the whole setup

What pisses me of is the use of a short length of 7 core & a handful of "scotchlocks" to wire up the plug. Modern cars usually have a connectors built into the harness to utilise a $30 buck factory towbar harness. Why do it on a new car? Why do it on any car you can buy a harness for?
While ranting why have a multitude of flat & round combinations? Surely a standard 10 pin flat would suit any conceivable situation

If you have a tow bar, a trailer harness should already be fitted as this is standard when fitting the bar. The electric brake is different though. If you stay in queensland, give black Toyota a call.

How much did you guys pay to have towbars installed?

Thinking about getting a light duty one put on one of my hatches for bike rack/small rubbish trailer use. Won't be pulling any barges...

It was about $750 for tow bar and electrics, they gave us about $200 off after a whinged about the price
We got a tow bar, no electrics, just for your same needs, was a while ago but i'm sure it was round about $400
Cheers
