I should add a trailer hitch and trailer wiring to my 850 850 1995

The only 'hard' part is running a wire from the battery to the left rear fender well. You do need a control box, as the brake lights and turn signals lights are on separate power lines, unlike most trailers with one light for both functions.

On my 855, the wire is exposed under the car and held to the brake lines with zip ties.

Don't worry about the trailer plug connector, you can let it out at the tailgate/trunk while you are towing and stash it back in the wheel well when not using it.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
