Trailer Hitches & Wiring
Trailer Hitch Wiring and Installation in Burlington, NC
Towing a camper, boat, or utility trailer takes more than a hitch bolted to your frame.
Cars & Truckware has wired trailer hitches correctly for Piedmont Triad drivers since 1991.
When You Need Trailer Hitch Wiring
A hitch without properly matched wiring is a ticket waiting to happen and a real safety risk on I-40 or I-85. Trailer hitch wiring connects your vehicle's electrical system to your trailer so your brake lights, turn signals, and running lights all function together.
You likely need a new hitch or wiring harness if you're facing any of these:
- Buying a camper, boat, or utility trailer for the first time
- Adding a bike rack or hitch-mounted cargo carrier for a road trip
- Renting a U-Haul trailer and discovering your vehicle has no factory wiring
- Upgrading to a fifth wheel hitch installation for a larger RV
- Noticing trailer lights that flicker, don't sync with your signals, or don't work at all
- Trading vehicles and needing the hitch and harness moved or replaced
Why Choose Us
Why Choose Cars & Truckware Over a Big Box Store
Chain stores and big box installers often run a generic harness and call it done. We match the hitch class and wiring harness to your exact vehicle, trailer weight, and towing plans, whether that's a small utility trailer or a full-size camper.
As a local shop that also handles auto glass, window tinting, auto lighting installation, and minor auto body repair, we can spot and fix related issues (like a cracked taillight lens or worn bumper trim) while your hitch is installed.

How It Works
From Estimate to Tow-Ready Wiring
Getting hitched up and wired correctly is a straightforward process at our Burlington shop. Most vehicles are in and out the same day.
- 01
Free Estimate and Fit Check
We look at your vehicle, ask what you plan to tow, and recommend the right hitch class and wiring harness for the job. You get a clear price before anything is scheduled.
- 02
Trailer Hitch Installation
We mount the hitch to your frame using manufacturer-approved hardware, checking clearance around your bumper, exhaust, and spare tire so everything fits clean.
- 03
Wiring Harness Connection
Your wiring harness is connected and routed to match your factory lighting, then tested for brake lights, turn signals, and running lights before you leave.
- 04
Final Walkthrough
We show you how your hitch and connector work, confirm your tow capacity, and answer any questions about weight ratings or additional accessories.

Been using these guys for over 20 years they have did everything from light body work to putting on step rails and bed covers. I have always been 100% satisfied with their work. I've read some of the negative reviews here and they would not have done damage to a car and not fixed it Barry is a honest and straight forward person.
