Package had hitch protruding out of cardboard. The wiring harness wire for the right side were short and I had to splice 3 wires to those that were short. The plug adapter was cheaply made. [online] guy said hitch could be installed with a floor jack. I would like to see him try it. Hitch appears to be of good quaility.

Came with beat up box. I already expected the hitch will be damaged, but it was worst than my expectation. It looks like the hitch was previously returned item, so it is not a new item and somebody put an effort painting the hitch to make it look like brand new, but the paint was not even and oversprayed. I did not bother opening the other box because I am already disappointed. I am returning the hitch including the accessories for the hitch.

Bracket is necessary to mount the 4-pin connector mounting bracket. Easy 5-minute install using the included hose clamp.

Has anyone try using and test fit this trailer connector bracket??
I have destroyed two trailer connectors plus marred the bracket coating with no success.
Please advise on a solution.

I am sorry this is giving you so much trouble. If your are using this with part # 18144, part # 18144 is only compatible with certain harnesses. It works with Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Tow Ready and Valley 4 pole flat trailer connectors Will not work with Hopkins, Wesbar, TAP or Plug-N-Tow brand. Part # BK4F might be a better fit for you.

Delivery was fast and on time as promised! Installation videos and instructions were spot on. Would highly recommend!
by: Roger02/17/2024
The bracket is a good idea unfortunately the connector doesn't hold in it and to plug in the trailer you have to hold the back of the car connector to insert it or it falls out
by: Jim 02/09/2024
The trailer hitch and related items arrived fast and met all my Expectations. The installation went well referring to the great videos provided. Very pleased with the purchase and with etrailer's customer care.

. Wound up not using this bracket , mounted plug holder to bottom of bumper. There wasn’t sufficient room to mount using this bracket.

I couldn't use this on my 2001 F-150 trailer light hook-up installation. BUT, it worked GREAT to attach a Orange Triangle "slow moving vehicle" sign on the rollbar of my old Kubota tractor. WITH no drilling into the rollbar (a NO-NO).....

It is still working to install the orange triangle on my tractor roll-over bar WITHOUT drilling into the rollbar....
by: Allen T.06/03/2021
Sturdy piece of items here. Had to mount bracket(s) on receiver hitch area due to another flat location being (my opinion) too far from receiver area. It all worked out. Have been a customer on here for years now. They always have durable products to sell and the how to videos are a plus. Thank you all
by: Frank 04/26/2024
The best part ever as the steel tubing is very hard to drill. Can't wait to install it.
by: Jorge04/11/2022
Worked perfect, easy to install. I had to mount it in a different orientation, but it fit and tightened perfect.
No issues to date, looks great too.

Working great, no issues. Still tight to the hitch and keeping the wiring safe.
by: Zachary G.01/15/2016
This product was perfect and the video for putting it together with the hopkins wiring plug worked perfectly! I simply bought this product to take place of my old one.

Absolutely love the product!! Is holding up amazingly!!!!
by: Mark03/03/2018
The product itself appeared to be good but on my 2018 Mazda CX 5, the trailer hitch is mounted very high and the wide part is on the back side, not the top, so when part #18144 is attached, it does not point out the back of the car. It would have been up behind the bumper with the connector pointing down. I did not need the hidden look and it would have been a pain to connect each time.
I could not use Part #18140 with my vehicle. The pictures I included show how high the trailer hitch bar is up under the car and where I ended up attaching the #18144(118144 on box) to the metal bumper bracket. Image without bracket shows back of car at top of picture.

Great service, very expedient with shipping. Courteous and professional staff. My go to place for trailer parts and vehicle accessories!!
by: William05/14/2021
This works great and looks great on my 2021 Ford Escape hybrid. The short version of this bracket was the perfect length. It holds strong to the hitch and securely holds the wiring connector. My only complaint is about etrailer. They recommended the long bracket in the video detailing the harness installation and after installing it, it was way too long and looked ridiculous. The short version was the perfect length.
by: Dean L.08/04/2017
Bought this along with the hitch C13143, wiring harness 56083 and bracket 18144. While the hitch and wiring harness went on as described, and I have nothing but praise for the product and service (and YouTube videos), these two brackets were not made for my Lexus. The hitch is too far back and up for these to work as advertised. However, I figured out if I cut the cover a bit more, I could mount these right behind the side hole in the hitch, and they are accessible but also out of the way, and out of sight. Needed a bigger clamp, but lucky I had one in my workbench. Check out the picture for how it looks. Make sure your trailer wires are long enough to reach to it. Don't cover the hole for your locking mechanism!

Installed the Universal Bracket (18140) and 4-Pole Flat Mounting Bracket (18144) in about ten minutes. It keeps my new trailer light wiring kit from hanging loose. Added a wire/cable shield to keep the wires from rubbing against anything. Super easy installation and the extra protection should extend the service life by years. I recommend this product.

I bought this 2" hitch receiver, 4 pole flat (18144) mounting bracket, (18140) bracket, 2" rubber hitch cover, Wiring harness (56094) for my 2017 GMC Terrain Denali. Installation was straight forward per the instructions. I was able to install this by my self. I did use a car hoist and tripod jack stand that allowed me to position the hitch in place while I installed the nuts on the two center bolts. Then I positioned the side brackets to the unibody rail with the welded in nuts that are on the vehicle for a factory installed hitch. While the SUV was up on the hoist I installed the custom 4 pole flat wiring harness and mounting brackets. This install took me about 3 hours, including installing wire conduit over the harness for protection. Thanks etrailer for supplying a great product. Can't wait to use it to pull my utility trailer with my Polaris side by side to the sand dunes.
by: Alex04/28/2023
I ordered three items, one hitch and two brackets. The hitch came in a broken box with no bolts or instructions and one of the two brackets was missing. Out of three items one was incomplete and one missing. Pretty bad!!! On top of that I had already took the plastic panel off and got the car ready for the hitch, which I had to put back on.. Not going to order from this company again!!!

Good installation instructions and excellent install videos for the Honda. High quality set up, powered up the trailer lights etc, no issues.
by: John E09/03/2016
Exactly what I was seeking to secure my 4-plug device to a tow-bar & tidy-up the excess wiring under my hitch. My wife shook her head in disbelief when I told her the installation would be quick & easy (it never is, right)? Well it was! Had this little baby installed in about 30 minutes. Finally, my self-installed electrical system for towing is complete & looks professionally done.

Connector bundle easy to install & worked great. Although the instructions say to feed the bed connector from the bottom it seemed easier to feed the bumper connectors from the upper the bed connector hole
by: Alex 04/26/2024
Nice and thick, stay in place and keep the pins corrosion free. For general connector lube, this will last me a long time.

Ordered hitch receiver with wiring for bike rack installation on 2019 Ford Explorer. Everything arrived in less than a week. Crawled under the car with my burly son and finished the installation in about an hour. Toughest part was getting the exhaust hangers off. Didn't have a tool for that. Online installation video was a big help. Hitch frame rubs against right side exhaust hanger, hence the four star rating instead of five. Exhaust still appears to be level and no weird noises, so not an issue. Get the little plug in light tester. It's worth it, then keep it in the glove box. Haven't purchased bike rack yet, but no concerns about the hitch.
by: Gary 02/07/2024
The dielectric grease is good . The mounting flange on the female plug broke as I was attaching it with screws. I think it could have been more substantial.
by: Kevin 02/12/2024
Makes the electrical connections more reliable and keeps water out.

Great dielectric grease.
by: Dennis08/16/2023
Just the right size (volume) for all the electrical work to install trailer brake controllers and lots of wiring in the Jeep and trailer. I prefer dielectric grease over a dab of silicon on wiring connections.
by: Bob D.09/16/2019
We just purchased a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe as our retirement vehicle for traveling. We wanted to install cargo accessories but the dealer prices were WAY to high. After researching for several days we found etrailer.com. The prices were the best we found and the service was outstanding! We installed a Thule roof rack system that fits flawlessly and allows the panorama sun roof to plenty of roof to operate. The videos made in really easy to install. We also installed a trailer hitch system. The Tekonsha Trailer Wiring kit was also a piece of cake to install. If you're hesitant to work on electrical systems, there's no need to be afraid. It's actually easier than it looks in the video.
The Curt Trailer Hitch gave me major headaches. The delivery company banged the box up pretty badly. Apparently it tweaked the hitch just enough so that the holes were misaligned. No problem, after talking me through the installation one more time to be sure it was damaged, they shipped a new unit. The second hitch went in fine. It took a while, and it's not as easy as it looks in the video, but I'm 67 years old I did the installation myself...
Overall, I gave five stars because the price match guaranty makes it a wise choice price wise. he videos are a big help during installation. But the real difference is the service. A lot of folks provide good service to make a sale, but etrailer goes the extra distance to provide great service afterwards. That's unique! Thanks etrailer!

Seems to work to keep out moisture and dirt
by: Kyle07/28/2022
Overall, the grease is fine, but the packaging sucks. The cap comes off too easily. By the time I realized it, it was too late.

Its in the garbage. Great size package and doesnt take up much room in a tool bag, but the cap just pulls off instead of screwing off. I replaced it with a different brand that has a cap that stays on.
by: John04/13/2024
Worked as it should. No issues!
by: Roaming John08/24/2021
This stuff really works to keep my tow vehicle and toad electrically connected. I used to spend a lot of time cleaning and redoing those troublesome electrical connections especially in wet weather. That is all behind me now. (Pun intended). The tube is strong to reside safely and conveniently in my tool box so it is readily available for future use.

I renew the grease on the connections annually. It works great to keep them reliable in all sorts of bad weather, especially when you have to make hookups in the rain.

When the wiring arrived I had high expectations. We installed it as per your instructions. I was very disappointed when we found out that it was too short. Had to cut and splice two wires. Not having to do that was a big selling point. What surprised me is a number of your reviews mentioned this and no corrections were made. They recommended cutting the small zip ties and that didn't work. For the records installation was made on a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
by: JK02/29/2024
Product was fine, there was some conflicting shipping information that I was receiving. All in all, it worked out ok.
