Default Glider Trailer Wiring Tips

I bought a new (used) Nissan Pathfinder and needed to add a hitch and a
"four flat" connection to be able to tow my glider trailer.

While I am sure that I could have used a generic trailer wiring cable
kit, I opted to pay for a more expensive cable kit specific to my car.
The nice part about this is that all you need to do is unplug the
connectors to the vehicles lights and then insert matching plugs from
the kit inbetween. Couldn't be simpler. The only difficult part is
getting to the connectors. Of course you have to do that in any case.
I bought the kit online from http://www.etrailer.com/wiring.aspx.

That's BMW for you. All Benz (except coupes) have factory-approved
towbars in the option list and are wired for trailers.

Besides, they were better cars. Some of them still are.
