Need to attach a trailer harness, is this hard to do?

Trailer has a 6 pin (3 connectors each side) setup,

It is a small trailer for small stuff and I'm sure I can handle it with the bumper hitch

You may need a converter as most trailers share a bulb between brake light and turn signal, and our B-trucks have separate.

To splice into the B-truck system, I recommend scraping off a wire's insulation, wrapping the tow socket wire around the now-bare copper wire, and soldering on the new wire, then wrapping with sticky-type electrical tape. Much stronger than crimp-connects.

I tapped my harness into the tail lights. Easy to do, hardest part was drilling the hole for the 7 pin plug
