Now that you know the types of connectors, you have to determine what you have on your vehicle to make the connection to a trailer. Many modern tow-capable trucks and SUVs, especially those by the Big Three, come equipped with trailer packages from the factory as part of the USCAR program. This organization (United States Council for Automotive Research) united three major American automakers (Chrysler, Ford, and GM) in their intention to advance automotive technologies. They developed a universal trailer connector that has been used on their vehicles since the 1990s. To determine how to wire up trailer lights, you need to know whether your vehicle has a factory-installed trailer package and whether a plug-and-play T-connector is available for it on the market. here

You may need to inspect your vehicle thoroughly or contact the manufacturer’s customer support to ask whether your vehicle is equipped with it and find out its location. If there are absolutely no provisions for trailer lights, you are electrically inclined or have a rough idea of how to wire trailer lights, you might consider splicing into your existing wiring. Fortunately, almost all wires you need (except for a brake controller wire) connect to your vehicle’s tail light assembly. In this case, you will need a set of wiring taps and a pair of pliers. here
