This heavy-duty trailer connector socket has an outlet for 7-way, 5-way and 4-way flat plugs. A weatherproof, insulated lid covers the terminals. The cover is also easy to open and extra-durable.Installed the Hopkins muti-tow 7, 5, and 4 way flat connector this morning. I ripped the original connector that was attached to the bottom of the hitch receiver off when I was 4-wheeling into the Doll House campgrounds in the Maze District of Canyonlands a month ago. So, I cut a hole in the bumper and mounted the new Hopkins connector, cut off the old broken connector mounting bracket, and connected the factory wiring to the new Hopkins device. Hopkins product installed easily, looks great, is now out of the way, and has the flexibility of multiple trailer connectors when required.
I am pleased with the product. Attached is a photo.
Exactly what we had been looking for. Now I can hook up multiple trailers with different connectors and all the electrics on each trailer works. I mounted mine directly to the receiver hitch frame. The biggest challenge for us was routing the backup wire from the taillight housing, through the body of the truck to the connector. the rest went together fairly easily. Seems to be pretty solid and looks much better than the loose pigtail connector it replaced.
This is a Great product ! I built a trailer tester which is self powered and pretty much self explanatory on the way it operates. Using this connector gives the flexibility or connecting to a 4,5 or 7 way plug !
I received the product quickly and in perfect condition the packing was excellant. I installed the connector easily and quickly. I consulted the Gm wiring diagram and als found the wires for all the 7 connections. I had a tight spot within the bumper edge, but managed to find short bolts to attach the bracket in old exsisting holes. The rest was easy attaching the connectors and making sure all wires were through the rear enclosure and tightening them down. I tested the 4 wire connector with my boat trailer lights and it worked like it was designed to do. I LOVE the versatility of this connector. Thanks etrailer.com!! Great product at a great price.

Installation of the plug was a quick and easy. The existing Warrior hitch has a tab on the side for a trailer wiring socket. Drill a new hole on the installation bracket (comes with the trailer connector) so the bracket on the hitch matches bracket on the trailer connector. Done deal. This is the only trailer connector I found which has the 7, 5 and 4 connector options. Flexibility is always a good idea when you are borrowing someone else trailer or renting.
Works great and etrailer folks did an outstanding job with quick turnaround and communication…thank you!
I had broken my factor connector on my 06 Tacoma, frankly due to a poor design placement by Toyota in my opinion, however I was not going to pay a premium $200+ price for a new OEM part and I wasn't planning to place it back in the original spot to only get broken again. This is a great replacement plus I no longer need a wire adapter. The unit fit perfectly in pre-cut hole that held my left tag light. Only had to drill 4 small holes for the bolts to secure to the bumper. Only pain was cutting the old wire and attaching it to the new connector, but that only took 10 minutes top.
This Hopkins 7,5, and 4-way trailer cord socket was delivered quickly and fits my needs for all my trailers. It came with all fasteners and complete instructions in the package and etrailer videos. I recommend this product and etrailer.com as a vendor.
I ordered the Tekonsha Electric trailer brake control and the Hopkins connector. It met my expectations. And easy installation. I have ordered from etrailer several times and they are professional in every way.
I used this to complete the factory 5th wheel wiring in my 2015 Silverado 3500HD. Gives me a professional installation for my 5th wheel RV.
Great product! Install on a Jeep for off-road with a trailer and so far so good!!!
Great product fast delivery
This is my second one in a 10 yr timefr ame.
This seems to be a pretty nice plug. Makes it nice with the 4 way and 7 all in one. The lid has a pretty stout spring on it so it should keep the weather out. Fast shipping excellent service.
Build quality seems better than the base Hopkins product I had used before. Installed it in a mounting box (18159) on my Curt round tube hitch.
The connector interfaces very well with my XC90 and there is no drilling or advanced skills needed. Everything went together very well.
Works good. Put it on my 1 ton project.
I could not find a 7 round with a 5 flat connector anywhere in San Diego. Most of the people I spoke with at trailer shops or RV stores said no one makes it only with a 4 flat connector. I just kept looking because I needed one with a 5 flat for my boat and didn't want to keep using my adaptor.
I found etrailer and the rep I spoke with was very knowledgeable and said he had exactly what I was looking for and it was a great price. I will be always using etrailer for my trailer parts for now on.
Thank you,

Easy to install, worked perfectly.
Good product. 5 pin cover could fit tighter, but over all makes trailer wire hook up easy and trouble free. No more searching for adapters.

It's a connector!
We got this connector to wire our small teardrop with an RV 7-blade for underway charging and reverse lights. It's well built, seals well when not in use, and does its job just fine. We did not lube the contacts, but so far no visible corrosion. The 4/5 flat connector is a nice bonus - keeps us from needing to carry along an adapter.
If you're installing it in a new location there are two things to remember: make sure you have enough depth at the installation point to allow wiring to run clear, and use a REAL bimetal hole saw if you're installing it in a metal bumper.
Would use again.
This plug is awesome! Using the bottom 5 pin plug on the bottom plug works great on my utility Trl, the other plug I have wired for my other trailer with brakes, it definitely works great with no adapter's no matter what the trailer on mine I'm pulling, would definitely recommend this if you need a great plug!
This receptacle should come standard on all pickups and SUVs!! The seals keep out almost all of the water and grime. The spring-loaded cover acts as somewhat of a keeper for whatever plug is inserted in the large receptacle. The versatility of hooking up to old and new boat trailers, plus any equipment trailer the local rental yard can throw at me, is amazing! I still carry a couple of adapters, but never need them. Installation takes about 15 minutes. Be sure to use the included terminal grease.
Very rugged device, good design. This alleviates having a 4 or 5 wire connection hanging from your vehicle. Great for replacement of old connector. Great for DIY

It is still working great. I would highly recommend this product.
The Trailer plugin was a replacement for a cheaper one, that was mounted below the bumper, next to the tow hitch. This one is mounted in the bumper, between the license plate lamp and the license plate, out of the way of being damaged. Great plugin. ( but drilling the bumper was a pain, but worth every bit of time). This is my third order from E-trailer. Great Service and looking forward to my next order.

I hook and unhook my trailer about twice a day as I need my truck for hauling stone and dirt. I have put this through the ringer. Still good as new...Happy customer
I would highly recommend this. It is heavy duty and quality built. A great value for the money
Excellent product! - have, over only a few years, steadily worked my way through progressively more durable trailer cable sockets. The last one was the Hopkins heavy-duty, or something to that effect. The plastic casing on it broke within three months. I'm really looking forward to putting these to the test - I'm a farrier - I pull a trailer every day; the traffic in this area means that I must rely on excellent contact between vehicle/trailer for turn / brake signals and functioning trailer brakes. Nothing less. These sockets are heavy, all-metal (zinc-coated - road salt shouldn't be a problem), with few / no seams. When the trailer end is plugged into the truck receiver - it's a nice tight fit, with no movement: it's locked in. There are only two drawbacks for the homeowner who is looking for the do-it-yourself package: if you are looking for a metal bracket that bolts underneath the truck bumper and holds this part - there isn't any. And no bolts, either. I don't know if they sell them for these - I didn't check. I simply manufactured my own. So far, I'm delighted with the product.
I ordered the 7 pole socket (PK11720) and the rubber boot for it. (PK11761) Also a trailer end plug (PK11700) to fit into the socket. The items arrived on the exact estimated arrival date that I was given on the day of ordering.
Wiring the plug and the socket was very easy. Each terminal has a small screw that holds the end of the wire in place. It is a simple matter of threading the screw out, putting the wire in the hole, and then tightening the screw onto the wire.
The boot fits snugly onto the back of the socket.
I used these parts to repair the power cable assembly to a truck mounted forklift. The parts are exactly what was needed to replace what had been damaged. The quality is good and the prices are excellent. I will use etrailer.com in the future when I need related items. I am very pleased.
I got exactly what I expected. Great customer service & follow through.

This is a quality socket that is being used to support electrical connections between my RV and toad. Its held up beautifully & I continue to be very pleased with it.
Bought to replace a 12 year old Pollak identical connector that I removed and could not re-use due to wire connections on the back being corroded (road salt area). The 12 year old connector worked fine except the flip up cover was a bit stiff. The 12 year old connector was also made in USA. The new connector I just received is made in China. From the price, I had hoped it was still made in USA. It seems that most of the time I am disappointed with the newer imported China versions of products once manufactured in USA. So my expectations for this product to have a long life are not very high.
This is much better than the OEM on my New Holland Tractor asit is made of metal. It also cost less than the all plastic replacement from the dealership. etrailer was fast with delivery. Thank you.

It is working out very nicely, really glad I bought it!
Well I have not installed it yet, but it is marked for each trailer wire by color, matching much earlier models. Did not come with mounting screws and nuts, but not a big deal.
Again, high quality and a great brand. The wiring diagrams assisted me with understanding a difference between round pin and blade styles. I bought both with confidence for my F-350.
Quality product arrived on time. Will make future purchases with etrailer.com

Performed as expected to date.
The metal body and good quality pins and connections make this one the only one for a professional job.
Remember if you use dielectric grease and the rubber boot you'll never have corrosion in your connections . Dissimilar metals and weather are a bad combination.
For me, and probably you, etrailer.com is a great place to shop/buy quality products. They give great follow up after ordering and fast shipping @ a fair price. I believe their service & pricing is unbeatable. I do shop for bargains & etrailer is @ the top of my list.
I could not find this style or make trailer plug in my local auto parts store. I got tired of trying to find it so I ordered it on line. etrailer was convenient and less expensive than any other website.
Etrailer web site was easy to work with and outstanding communication with your orders. Package was also delivered earlier than expected. I would rank etrailer as A+
Excellent product! I bought this to replace the old, brittle, and broken plastic trailer connector on my 1973 aluminum camper. The plastic one stood out against the aluminum which I didn't like. So, I'm excited how this will blend in and look more natural. Besides aesthetics, this very sturdy and ruggedly built. It will clearly outlast the camper, no doubt. Will definitely buy again if I find myself with a different camper in the future.
Great construction of the product, durable enough to withstand harsh working conditions and "operators" I am using that term lightly due to the mishaps that occur on a regular basis at my location.
This trailer lighting socket is excellent quality, and super fast shipping
Exactly as displayed on website.
Very fast service AGAIN! Always my first choice when shopping for trailer parts.
Best 7 pole connector out there!!!!
Great, Fast, Knowledgable and Polite Service. Return policy is also terrific no questions asked. I will use e trailer again. Thank You
