My trailer hitch connection (round) does not work with the 6th generation. It worked fine with my 2021 4 runner. It works with my Ford truck.
Does
anyone have a similar experience? Is there an adapter to transition?

Hmm.... I used a very old round connector last week and it worked. I thought those things were all standard and we have the two main standard variants available on the 6G4R (7 pin SAE Round and 4 pin flat/straight - I think). I think there might be a 6 pin round variant out there and maybe that is what you have.
I know I had some trouble finding the proper rotational orientation - the connector is keyed as you would expect and I struggled to find the key slot. Seems unlikely but maybe that is the issue for you?

um toyota has been using 7pin connectors for a long time not just on the 4runner.

my 2014 had a 7pin requirement per the owners manual.

only reason to have a 6 pin is if you are using old agriculture equipment if i remember correctly like horse trailers or old goose necks.

i mean the hitch connectors can get confusing really quick

good example is the RV 7pin, its one way on the blade version and different on the round version

Thanks. The key location is different as mentioned. The one thing I haven’t checked is perhaps the fuse.
