Default Trailer Cpnnection ?

I'm looking at a small cargo trailer to purchase.
The connection at the trailer is a 7 pin connector, my truck has a 4 pin connector.

Can I somehow connect the two, possible with an adapter ?

Also, looking for anyone selling a small cargo trailer:
5x10 or 6x10 o 5x12 or 6x12

Thanks !

Yes, there are adapters. The question is does the trailer have electric brakes? If so, the 4 pin system you have will not actuate the brakes. Otherwise it should work.

Ok, you might need a brake controller too if your truck doesn't have one, shouldn't be a big deal if you already have a 7 pin outlet on the truck. Probably pre wired if the controller isn't there.
