Hello,

I'm picking up my 2005 Silverado today.. After the test drive I looked
near the back bumper to make sure it was wired for towing and I saw the
wire bunched up under there but forgot to see if it had a connector or
if it is just bare wires. Do these trucks usually come with a
connector or do I have to buy one and wire it up?

Thanks,
Dan

If you didn't order the optional tow package than all that is there is the
wires. You will need to buy a connector.
It is a lot cheaper just to order the tow package. You get the receiver, 7
pin plug with a 7-4 adaptor, additional trans cooling, and a harness to plug
in your brake controller.

When I got my 03 Silverado truck with the tow package, I never did get the 7
to 4 pin adapter(Which I needed) or the Harness for a brake controller. Got
short changed.

I only got the 4 pin harness with my '03 Silverado, but they asked me which
I wanted.

You can get an adaptor for a couple of bucks so its not the end of the
world...
