TREX® - "Hybrid Series" Mesh Grille
# TRX-X0474 Dodge Charger 2006 & UP, TREX® - "Hybrid Series" Mesh Grille. Full opening chrome mesh grille replaces the stock grille.

In the center, a finely weaved Diamond Wire Mesh is formed and tig-welded to the billet frame. If you are looking for the "ULTIMATE BLING" for your ride this is it. Available in mirror polished or triple chrome plated finish. When it comes to manufacturing a quality product, it starts in the design department but it doesn't end there. We start with solid stock of aircraft quality T-5/T-6 billet aluminum (billet series) or 304 stanless steel (mesh series), rather than extruded aluminum as used by some competitors. The stock is cut to length then shaped to its specific contour. Each grille is then hand assembled into a custom jig and precision welded with a process called "T.I.G." to ensure a strong and clean weld. The final stage of manufacturing includes a three-stage polishing and cleaning.

HID Headlights

Safety. There is more than one reason why HID lighting has become such an important automotive upgrade in recent years, and it starts with security. Every year, there are more than thirty thousand auto accidents in the US alone, and guess what? Close to seventy percent of them happen at night, and serious collisions rise precipitously after dark as well. This is not a coincidence. While it is true that many drivers love HID headlights for their flashy style, one of their most underrated characteristics is the gigantic boost in safety they provide when it comes to nighttime navigating.

And you can’t put a price on that. Not every customizing option is for fashion alone. Sometimes, it is more serious than that.
Inside the HID Process. Unlike out-of-date factory bulbs, HID headlights do not have a filament that produces the beam. Instead, xenon gas inside the bulbs ‘heats up’ between the electrodes, turning white-hot and extremely bright near instantly. It is the best in technology, which is why it has been so exclusive in the past. The quality of light that HID headlights give off is between 3-5 times brighter than factory halogen bulbs, and burn roughly half the amount of energy. This allows them to last extremely long and rarely require replacement. The brilliant level of illumination and stylish coloring you see is a cross between an intense chemical reaction and cutting-edge innovation. HIDheadlights are without a doubt, the wave of the future.

Wiring Your Trailer Hitch 4

Chevy Tahoe Vertical Doors
This controller allows the use of electric trailer brakes. Many vehicles are prewired to accept it.

This wiring color code is supposed to be the standard, but vehicle manufacturers don't always follow it. Check with a test light or you risk blowing fuses.
Whoa, Nellie
This leads to the concept of electric trailer brakes. These are actuated by a controller in the vehicle that increases the voltage to the brakes proportional to the vehicle's deceleration. This requires a wire from the controller to the trailer brake. (This is why some connectors have as many as seven pins, to make provisions for the multiple circuits.) Use 12-ga. wire for this circuit. If you have electric trailer brakes, there must be an auxiliary battery and a breakaway switch in the circuit to slow the trailer if it comes loose from the hitch.

Keeping It All Together
How to make the connections? We've seen plenty of trailers lumbering down the road with blinking or dim lights. Odds are, if you looked at the wiring on one of these rigs, you'd see wires twisted together and insulated with electrical tape. Almost as bad are the automotive-style crimp connectors, which can't handle the vibration and moisture. Any crimp connector exposed to the elements will have a short life span. Don't even think of using household-style wire nuts--they'll unscrew themselves within a few hundred miles. We use the screw-in Posi-Lock connectors illustrated here for quick jobs. Our own trailer has every connection made with solder and PVC shrink tube.

As you button up, smear a film of dielectric grease on the hitch connectors to prevent moisture from corroding the pins.

Wiring Your Trailer Hitch 3.

Chrysler 300 Grills
Posi-Lock or crimp connectors can be used without soldering, but aren't weathertight for long-term use.
A simple adapter can make 5-, 6- and 7-pin connectors work with other styles of connectors.Separate But Not Equal. A few vehicles use separate lamps for the brake and the turn-signal functions of the rear lights. That's fine--until you realize the trailer uses a single 2-filament bulb for all three functions. Adding another taillamp housing to the trailer is one option, but a simpler solution exists. Your trailer-rental place, and most auto parts stores, sell simple electronic adapters that will combine the brake-lamp and turn-signal functions. It installs in the harness just before the trailer connector.
Other Circuits
Some larger trailers have a separate circuit for clearance or marker lights, which are separate from the running lights in the taillamp assemblies. You may need to add another circuit to handle them. If you try to wire them in parallel with the customary pair of running lamps, you may overload the vehicle's headlamp switch--so you'll need to add a relay to handle the extra current.

There also may be a 12-volt circuit for running lights inside the trailer or for charging the trailer battery in the case of a travel trailer. This circuit probably will be hot whenever the engine is running, but it may be controlled by a switch on the dash. Be sure the wires are of a gauge large enough to handle the load (a fully discharged deep-cycle trailer storage battery may draw 20 or more amps when you start the engine). The use of a battery isolator is strongly recommended. This will prevent discharging the vehicle battery from the trailer, and prevent surges of current from overcooking the wiring or blowing a fuse.

Wiring Your Trailer Hitch 2

Dodge Charger Grilles
But wiring a trailer may not be easy. If you're towing just for the day and don't ever plan to tow again, you can pick up some adapters that replace the taillight bulbs in your vehicle and have pigtailed wires hanging from them. How you route the wires out of the light sockets and down to the hitch can be problematic. And what if you have a trailer with simple 1-lamp lights and a car with multiple taillights, like most European cars? At the very least, odds are the trailer and vehicle use different connectors, as the trailering industry uses at least four different styles.
Red To Green To White
Let's start with the basics. Most trailers have three circuits--for running lights, and left and right brake lights. The brake lights will flash for the turn-signal function--it's up to the flasher relay in the car to know when the brake lights are on and to flash the appropriate filament. So technically, you need only three wires to the trailer plus a ground wire.

Always run a ground wire from the frame of the vehicle (not from the hitch or bumper) to the trailer. The metal-to-metal contact in the hitch is not reliable enough for a consistent connection.

This means you'll need a connector with at least four contacts. Not surprisingly, the standard flat-style connector for trailers uses four pins, with one unshrouded male pin on the vehicle end for the ground. Other common styles of connectors use five, six or seven pins, and these are the styles you'll see installed by the manufacturers on new vehicles. Why more than four? Larger trailers sometimes use a separate circuit for running lights on the sides and front of the trailer. Some trailers use electrically actuated brakes. It's not uncommon for enclosed trailers to have interior lights or accessories powered by the vehicle battery, so that means another circuit.
Do not freak. As long as you concern yourself with only one circuit at a time, this job will not require you to read those schematic diagrams that have tiny little wires labeled with type too small for even a lawyer to read.
Over-The-Counter
Got a 7-pin connector on the truck and an inline 4-pin connector on the trailer? We found an adapter at the auto parts store that makes this plug-and-play. Other permutations of connectors may be adaptable with off-the-shelf parts.
Splice It
Worst case--you have a car or truck with no provision for trailer lights, and a trailer with a harness that ends with chopped-off wires. You'll need nothing more complicated than a 12-volt test light or volt-meter, and some splicing capability. Start by turning on the vehicle's running lamps. Now probe the vehicle wiring to find out which wire leading to the taillights is hot. Splice into this wire and bring it to the vehicle side of the trailer connector. Which pin? The connector should come with a list specifying which pin handles which circuit. Follow it--but don't for a minute trust that someone else who wired your vehicle before you followed anything except his own whim. Tag each wire with its function as you identify it. Now you can turn off the running lamps and activate the left turn signal. Identify which circuit is the blinker, and repeat for the right turn signal. Wire all to the connector.

Wiring Your Trailer Hitch.1

Chevy Tahoe Lights
The rental yard is busy. The utility trailer you want is inexpensive, and the yard help assists you in hooking up the trailer hitch and safety chains. Now to drive home and load the trailer with the entirety of a teenager's life, then ship her off to college several states away.

But not until you hook up the lights on the trailer. The trailer dealership won't let you leave until the lights work. And the trailer plug on the back of your truck doesn't remotely match the one on the trailer. The friendly trailer-hitch counterman points to the display of electrical connectors and suggests that if you can't get them working on your own, he can have a mechanic do it for you, first thing Monday morning.

Desperate Times, Desperate Measures
Trailer wiring may be easy. Many vehicles, particularly pickups and SUVs, come prewired for trailers. If there's a preinstalled hitch, the connector might already be in place behind a convenient spring-loaded cap. Or, if you've bought a new vehicle, you may find the harness needed to install the connector inside the glovebox. Simply unplug the connector to the rear lights on your truck, plug in the trailer harness between the male and female ends, and you're ready.

Carmakers Sound Alarm at Gloomy Paris Show

Dodge Magnum grills
PARIS (Reuters) - Top automakers including General Motors Corp (GM) and Ford warned of tough times as the Paris Auto Show opened on Thursday amid concerns that slowing demand could force production cuts and job losses. ADVERTISEMENT
Volkswagen's latest Golf and Toyota's new Avensis saloon for Europe headline the event, which opened under a cloud as makers struggle to attract buyers worried by slowing economies and as a global credit crisis hurts auto leasing.
Ford Motor Co (F.N) Chief Executive Alan Mulally said he expected no recovery in the global car market until 2010 and urged governments and central banks to work together to bring stability back to the financial markets.
"2009 is not going to be better than 2008," Mulally told reporters at the show. "We won't see a recovery until 2010," he added, noting markets were down around the globe.



GM's (GM.N) chief operating officer, Fritz Henderson, warned of weakness to come in both the U.S. and western European markets.

"Certainly in the first half (of 2009) it's going to be weak," Henderson told reporters at the show, noting weakness in western Europe.

"We're all under some pressure for the next 12 to 24 months," he said.

Mitsuo Kinoshita, senior board member at Japan's Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T), said the credit crunch was hurting consumer confidence and could force Toyota to review its global sales targets of 9.5 million vehicles in 2008 and 9.7 million for next year.

A source at Europe's biggest automaker, Volkswagen (VOWG.DE), told Reuters that the company faced tough times at Spanish unit Seat and while the company's overall targets remain intact, it may have to consider trimming output.

"If markets continue to develop in such a dramatic way then we have to consider reining in production," the source told Reuters at the show.

Volkswagen Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn told reporters that VW expects to be able to generate a small gain in unit sales and revenue next year despite turmoil on financial markets, while confirming VW's outlook for 2008.
He also said the company, which plans to start making cars at a U.S. plant in Tennessee, wants to benefit from government aid offered to U.S. makers.
"We will raise our hand when the time comes," Winterkorn said.
President George W. Bush on Tuesday signed into law a spending bill which included guarantees of $25 billion in low-interest loans for U.S. automakers Ford, GM and Chrysler LLC.
The aid comes as U.S. demand slumps and makers tool up for production of more fuel efficient and environmentally-friendly vehicles, including electric models.
Major automakers reported a 26-percent plunge in U.S. September sales, including Ford off 34 percent and Toyota down 32 percent, its steepest decline since 1987.
Auto executives said Americans had either walked away from vehicle purchases or been stymied by a lack of financing or requirements for larger down-payments.
Renault SA (RENA.PA) CEO Carlos Ghosn told reporters at the show that no one could rule out difficult years for the auto sector in 2009 and 2010 and promised an update on its plans October 23.
Renault outlined a job cuts plan last month.
European rivals Fiat (FIA.MI) and Peugeot-Citroen (PEUP.PA) are also trimming costs to safeguard profits.
Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne this week warned of the knock-on effect which the financial crisis threatened to have on manufacturing.
"(It) will have repercussions at an international level if it is not resolved in America. It will have an impact on industry, that is without doubt," Marchionne said.
Peugeot CEO Christian Streiff told reporters at the show that the French maker had achieved 2 billion euros ($2.79 billion) in cost savings in the past 18 months and expected "great progress" in cost reduction in the near future.
The firm is sticking to its 2010 objectives despite the market's tougher climate, Streiff said.
Emmanuel Bulle, a credit analyst at Fitch, told the Reuters Auto Summit on Tuesday that the European market decline was far from over and could go to minus 20 percent.

SANTA BARBARA, CALIF.–The Dodge Ram has serious fans – like the guy who ran up to me in the Starbucks parking lot to show off his Ram logo tattoo.
Like a wide-eyed kid on Christmas, he then circled the 2009 two-tone Crew Cab Ram I was driving around in.
"Man, that's pretty," he finally said.
My tattooed friend was reacting to the subtle (yet powerful) redesign of the Ram "big-rig" look – a design that first rolled out in 1994. With some rounding of the fenders and a forward-tilt to the cross-hair grille, the latest version of the truck has kept its silhouette, yet has also pulled the lights back over a new one-piece bumper, taking on a faster, rakish, slippery look.
It comes by its new profile honestly: the Ram has spent some 300 hours in wind tunnel testing alone. The result is better aerodynamics, but also the quietest Dodge cab yet. With the air flowing smoothly over and off the truck there is none of the buffeting noise of the previous generation.
Currently, it's safe to say that with this makeover (it's now in its third generation) it is reaching icon status. But the bigger story is actually inside where a completely new design shows up the old one as just plain bad.
The new interior features redesigned, bolstered seats and soft-touch material in two- and even three-colour patterns (rather than nasty hard battleship grey plastic). Elements in some of the higher end models include a new centre console, upper and lower glove boxes and a sculpted dashboard featuring chrome, leather and cloth accents, including items such as real saddle stitching across the dash.
Other available options include power adjustable pedals, double the number of previous storage spaces and for the first-time items like heated and cooled front seats; heated rear seats and even a heated steering wheel.
With this new interior, Dodge appears to be back in the same league as its chief rival, Ford's F-150.

Chrysler's first SUV is Revealed in Detroit

Chrysler 300 Grills
Under a storm of ticker tape, Chrysler unveiled its first ever sport utility vehicle (SUV) at the Detroit Motor Show. Once the applause, and the paper shower, died down it was clear to see that Chrysler has not taken any chances with the styling of this potentially best-selling vehicle.



At the front, the new Aspen features the bold 'egg crate' chrome grille as used throughout the Chrysler range. This is shared with the large Chrysler saloon we get in Europe, and Chrysler referred to the Aspen as the "300 of SUVs", meaning that it is to be treated as a premium product, but retails well below the established marques' premium rivals.

Though the Aspen has shades of Chrysler's large Voyager MPV, it is considerably more upright. Under the bonnet is the obligatory V8 engine, with US customers getting a choice of 4.7 or 5.7-litre Hemi. The latter features cylinder deactivation in an attempt to reduce the fuel consumption to acceptable levels.

Our photographs straight from the show floor do not convey this car's size. For starters, it can seat up to eight passengers, and is 150mm longer than the Range Rover. It is unclear whether the Aspen will make it to Europe when production begins this autumn, though the lack of a diesel option and the column-mounted gearchange make us believe not. Jeep is a sister company to Chrysler and we don't think the European SUV market would support the Aspen's introduction.

2009 Pontiac G3 - Car News

Cadillac CTC
Pontiac has confirmed it will sell the G3 five-door hatchback in the U.S. for the 2009 model year.

The G3 is based on the Chevrolet Aveo5, which is in turn based on the Korean Daewoo Kalos. The G3 has previously been sold in Mexico as a sedan and in Canada as a five-door hatch called the G3 Wave. Though the Aveo is also offered as a sedan, Pontiac will only bring a hatchback model to the U.S.

Mechanically identical to the Aveo, the G3 will use a 1.6-liter four cylinder engine mated to a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, an auxiliary audio input jack, four airbags, and GM’s OnStar system. Outside, Pontiac badges and grille designs replace the usual Chevrolet elements, with standard fog lamps and hatch spoiler adding visual flair.

While an econobox hatchback doesn’t match Pontiac’s performance philosophy, the G3 is an important addition to the lineup. When G3 sales begin in spring next year, Pontiac will have four cars with EPA highway fuel economy of over 30 mpg: the G3 (34 mpg), Vibe (32 mpg), G6 sedan (33 mpg), and G5 coupe (37 mpg). That should help raise Pontiac’s Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) rating and attract buyers.

Pricing has yet to be announced, but based on the price differential between the identical Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5, we expect the Pontiac-badged G3 to carry a slightly higher price tag than its Chevy counterpart.

Beware, Catalyzer Thieves are Coming!

Even though it’s hard to believe, it seems that catalyzer thefts is increasing from one simple reason: the Platinum inside has a market value of 200 dollars. The main problem with these thefts are that the catalyzers found at the thieves could not be identified and the police couldn’t press charges. To handle these thefts, Ford joined forces with Retainagroup security specialist, so now the catalyzers are die-cut with a 7-digit unique code and one phone number, available 24 hours a day. The registration kit is available at Ford dealers at a price of 11.87 pounds for a single car, or 30 packages kit, with only 136 pounds.

Volkswagen Tiguan Squares up to Ford Kuga.2

While it's dodgy that whichever will be bought with dynamics in thoughts, it's the Ford you'd quite be charming abundant roundabouts in a new city in gratitude to its more full criticism and finer monitor. Where the interior of the Ford is all showy and has metal achieve plastics and skin like a 'monitor' initiate badge the Volkswagen is a bit more unadorned; still whether that's a certain or harmful depends totally on how you like your lashing environment.

The Kuga betters the Tiguan on tools levels, it emergence with climate monitor over the VW's air conditioning, the Kuga adding cruise monitor and part leather seats too.

From here on out, we will give you tips on what can make this subject a little more helpful to you.

Dip into the options and you'll pay around £450 excluding with the Ford for satnav, other options like rear parking sensors also cheaper. The Ford should proceeds more miles to the reservoir too, it bluster a shared consumption presume of 44.1mpg compared to 40.9mpg of the Tiguan. Carbon dioxide emissions from the Kuga are also minor, with 169g/km bettering the Tiguan's 182g/km. The Tiguan betters the Kuga for plot provision: seats down the Volkswagen is able to deal 155 more litres of plot.

That's particularly impressive given that the Tiguan is minor in every dimension compared to the Kuga. Externally, the styling of both echoes their interiors: the Kuga scarcely shy and retiring, the Volkswagen neat and subtle. Volkswagen's badge unquestionably has more status than the Ford too, so if you're a badge snob the German car is a clear winner. So which one would we have? seldom is a twin trial so close. The Ford and Volkswagen are almost inseparable in every vicinity - if we didn't know any better we'd say Ford had an insider at Volkswagen. The Ford instincts better; the Volkswagen feels groupier, but if we had to prize one we'd maybe go for the Ford merely because it deals better reduction and emissions. That's not just good for the environment, but in a time of ever-increasing fuel prices it's good for your series weigh too.

Knowing the ins and outs of this topic will help you to fully understand the importance of this entire subject.

Volkswagen Tiguan Squares up to Ford Kuga.1.

Why the comparison? If you're in the market for a compact SUV then these are the newest mainstream machines your money can buy.The Volkswagen has been around for longer than the Ford and it's clear that the blue oval looked very carefully at its Volkswagen rival when setting the prices for its new Kuga contender. Indeed, the two cars compared here cost exactly the same at £22,495. The cars in question are the 2.0-litre TDCi Titanium Ford Kuga and the 2.0-litre TDI 4Motion Sport Volkswagen Tiguan.

Other cars you might like to think in this group enter Honda's CR-V, the Toyota RAV4, Nissan's X-Trail and if you want to expend a little bit more - Land traveler's Freelander. How are they analogous? Each is monitored by a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine, the Volkswagen's bluster 138bhp and the Ford 134bhp - so close there truly is nothing in it. That's the suit with the torque too: both generate exactly 236lb.ft of twisting strength, the Volkswagen donation it up between 1,750rpm and 2,500rpm and the Ford at 2,000rpm. They are both five-seaters, there being no seven-seat versions, both have six-momentum guide transmissions, four-sweep instinct and 0-62mph period inside a whisker of each other - the Tiguan charming 10.5 seconds and the Ford 10.7 secs.



gear levels on both are literally comprehensive and they disclose warranty period and mileages (three being and 60,000miles) and both instinct more like conventional cars than their noble SUV stance would have you suppose. How do they vary? The duo might deal almost like monitor and performance facts, but the Volkswagen feels nearer on the highway than the Ford. The Kuga hits back still with its far more linking instinct, the steering sharper, behavior neater and body-monitor finer.

U.S. Auto Sales Woes Continue

U.S. auto makers are expected to report big declines in August domestic sales despite stepped-up incentives, according to research firm J.D. Power & Associates, though industrywide sales are expected to improve slightly from July's moribund rate.

Ford trucks in a dealership's storage lot in Chicago. U.S. auto makers are expected to report big declines in August domestic sales, according to J.D. Power & Associates.
The research firm still expects sales in the closing days of the month to improve because of General Motors Corp.'s 100th anniversary sales event, which offers "employee pricing" on most vehicles and cash rebates on selected light trucks.
The J.D. Power report, based on sales through Aug. 17, estimates sales for the month will come in at around 1.21 million vehicles, or 13.4 million vehicles on a seasonally adjusted annual rate. That is down from the August 2007 seasonally adjusted rate of 16.2 million vehicles, but up 6.3% from July.
"Both cash rebates and APR programs continue to rise from year-ago levels, as auto makers struggle with weakening light-truck sales," said J.D. Power. The average time a vehicle sat on the lot during the first 14 selling days of the month rose 14% from a year ago, it said, "adding pressure to increase incentive programs."
All major manufacturers had year-to-year retail-sales declines through the first 14 days of the month, although Nissan Motor Co.'s decline was modest. "That general pattern is expected to hold through the remainder of the month, with only GM by the end of the month expected to show a significant improvement over its month-to-date performance as its incentive program takes effect," J.D. Power said. Only Nissan is expected to finish the month with higher sales -- up 1.5%. Declines of 24% to 30% are forecast for GM, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC, while Toyota Motor Corp. is projected to have a 13% decline.

"With the month now half over, the pattern of very weak sales that has persisted for at least the last several months is clearly continuing into August," said J.D. Power Chief Economist Bob Schnorbus. "However, with auto makers getting near the end of one model year and getting ready to start the next, sales are beginning to show some signs of improving over July's dismal sales performance."

Garage Owner Arrested Over Bill Dispute

Best Accessories


Garage owner, Darren Tandy, was arrested after a customer disputed a £1127 bill reports The Sun.

Darren, of Mr Clutch in Gateshead, was arrested after police were called to settle the dispute after he refused to lower the fee for the work he had carried out on the customer's Land Rover.

The customer disputed the agreed price of £1127, and called the police when Tandy refused to accept £950 instead.

The customer then tried to push Tandy for a greater discount, suggesting a figure of just £550.

When Tandy claimed the parts cost more than that amount the police arrested him.

Tandy was taken to Gateshead police station where he was released three hours later without being charged.

He was arrested for Breach of the Peace, Tandy claiming he hadn't been very rude, nor sworn during the dispute.

Tandy has sent a letter of complaint to the police after the way it handled the matter, though the police claim that the officer had acted appropriately.

The customer finally paid £800 for the work two days after disputing the bill.

Wiring Your Trailer Hitch.2

Cars lihgt
This pickup came with an adapter harness for the trailer hitch in the glovebox. Simply disconnect the loom to the truck lights and plug in the adapter. You'll still need to wire the trailer.
But wiring a trailer may not be easy. If you're towing just for the day and don't ever plan to tow again, you can pick up some adapters that replace the taillight bulbs in your vehicle and have pigtailed wires hanging from them. How you route the wires out of the light sockets and down to the hitch can be problematic. And what if you have a trailer with simple 1-lamp lights and a car with multiple taillights, like most European cars? At the very least, odds are the trailer and vehicle use different connectors, as the trailering industry uses at least four different styles.


Red To Green To White
Let's start with the basics. Most trailers have three circuits--for running lights, and left and right brake lights. The brake lights will flash for the turn-signal function--it's up to the flasher relay in the car to know when the brake lights are on and to flash the appropriate filament. So technically, you need only three wires to the trailer plus a ground wire.

Always run a ground wire from the frame of the vehicle (not from the hitch or bumper) to the trailer. The metal-to-metal contact in the hitch is not reliable enough for a consistent connection.
This means you'll need a connector with at least four contacts. Not surprisingly, the standard flat-style connector for trailers uses four pins, with one unshrouded male pin on the vehicle end for the ground. Other common styles of connectors use five, six or seven pins, and these are the styles you'll see installed by the manufacturers on new vehicles. Why more than four? Larger trailers sometimes use a separate circuit for running lights on the sides and front of the trailer. Some trailers use electrically actuated brakes. It's not uncommon for enclosed trailers to have interior lights or accessories powered by the vehicle battery, so that means another circuit. Dash Kit

Wiring Your Trailer Hitch.1

Hid hit
The rental yard is busy. The utility trailer you want is inexpensive, and the yard help assists you in hooking up the trailer hitch and safety chains. Now to drive home and load the trailer with the entirety of a teenager's life, then ship her off to college several states away.

But not until you hook up the lights on the trailer. The trailer dealership won't let you leave until the lights work. And the trailer plug on the back of your truck doesn't remotely match the one on the trailer. The friendly trailer-hitch counterman points to the display of electrical connectors and suggests that if you can't get them working on your own, he can have a mechanic do it for you, first thing Monday morning.

Desperate Times, Desperate Measures
Trailer wiring may be easy. Many vehicles, particularly pickups and SUVs, come prewired for trailers. If there's a preinstalled hitch, the connector might already be in place behind a convenient spring-loaded cap. Or, if you've bought a new vehicle, you may find the harness needed to install the connector inside the glovebox. Simply unplug the connector to the rear lights on your truck, plug in the trailer harness between the male and female ends, and you're ready.
