I ordered one for my GMC and it does not work. I needed a twist fit, one that is not listed and this was sent.

The twist lock attachment is probably a proprietary GM design and most likely will not be found on aftermarket parts.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV
    Hi Jerry, For your 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV you would need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C37RV for the trailer hitch. The right light kit for your Sorento is going to depend on a few factors. For models with the tow package, like you stated you have, you can install a 7-way connector like the Tekonsha # TK24FR. Regardless of the tow package you can install a 4-pole connector like the Tekonsha # 118269 (incandescent tail lights) or Curt # C99DR (LED tail lights). The 7-way is really...

  • How To Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector On a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Factory 4-Way
    I have exactly what you need to install a 7-way trailer connector on your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. It sounds like you have the factory tow package therefore, all you would need to do is remove the 4-way you have now and replace it with the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector part # HM42190. This will make for a completely plug and play installation. In order to mount the trailer connector onto the vehicle I also recommend the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way part # 18138. For...

  • How To Tell If a Ford Transit Has the Tow Package and Parts Needed To Add It
    The Ford Transit if equipped with the factory tow package would have came with both a trailer hitch and trailer connector and they would both be located directly under the rear bumper so odds are you do not have either because they are not hard to locate. The factory tow package was also not a very common option but I can provide you with everything to add this on your own at a fraction of the price. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75912 is a confirmed fit for a 2015...

  • How to Mount a Trailer Connector to a Trailer Hitch Receiver
    Yes, we sure do! In order to mount your trailer connector on the rear of your vehicle, you will want to use part # 18140 along with part # 18144 for 4-way or part # 18136 along with part # 18138 for 7-way trailer connectors. I have attached a review video of the no-drill mounting bracket for you as well.

  • Replacement Bracket for a 7-Way Connector on a 2010 Chevy Silverado
    Although we do not have a cover that takes up that whole space, I do have a way that you potentially mount your 7-Way at your rear bumper on your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. You could use the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way # 18138 by disconnecting the 7-Way connector and then feeding the wiring harness and plug through the hole in the bracket. You can then either mount it using the included self-tapping screws. i have attached a video of this process being done. If you will be driving the screws...

  • Receiver Mounted Trailer Wiring Harness Mounting Bracket for a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    I have a couple solutions that will work for you. At this time, the only receiver mounted bracket for a trailer wiring harness available is for a 4-way trailer connector, part # C58002. I've attached a picture that shows how it mounts and how the 4-flat wiring harness fits. Again, this is the only wiring harness bracket that mounts to a 1-1/4 inch receiver. They don't make a bracket for a 7-way trailer connector because most vehicles with a 1-1/4 inch receiver aren't towing trailers with...

    Yes, the CURT T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector # C55585 is the correct wiring harness for your 2008 Honda Ridgeline. To install this kit you will basically just need to access the tail light harness on both sides of the rear of your vehicle and install the harness from the # C55585 inline with it. Check out the installation instructions I attached that detail this also. If you need a 4 to 7-way adapter for a trailer that does not have electric brakes you...

  • Recommended Towing And Roof Rack Components For A 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
    Hi Linda, For a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe you'll want the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98843 for the hitch and the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118784 for the wiring. A 2" trailer hitch is definitely the way to go since most accessories are made for 2" hitches and if you had a 1-1/4" accessory you could just use an reducer sleeve. To mount the 4-pole connector to the trailer hitch crossmember you can use no-drill mount # 18140. You'll still need a ball mount to tow a trailer...

  • Connecting Ignition Switched Power From 2015 Toyota Prius v to Enclosed Trailer
    You will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 to find a wire in your 2015 Toyota Prius v that is hot only when you use your key (ignition switched power). When you do that you can simply wire in the Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201, which should be wired like in the accompanying diagram with 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1. I have added a link to a video review of the solenoid for you to check out.

To use that with the 7-way on your tent trailer you would need to use the 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector # 30717, which provides connection points for both your vehicle and trailer's plugs. To mount the adapter you may want to use no-drill bracket # C57202 along with Mounting Bracket for 7-Way # 18138. You can see how to mount this adapter in the video...

  • Recommended Towing Set Up w/ Bike Rack for a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse w/ Tow Package
    Hey Dave, I would be more than happy to share my opinion on your set up and offer a couple recommendations. I looked up your 2019 Chevrolet Traverse High Country and it's got a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. This would be a great tow vehicle for the travel trailer you're looking at or already own. The tow package doesn't include a brake controller or a 7-Way in some cases. Both of which you will definitely need to haul a trailer with brakes. For a 7-way connector, you'll want the...

  • What Trailer Connector Mounting Bracket Is Needed For A Trailer Hitch On A 2005 Toyota 4Runner
    Yes, the tech note you referenced for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13445 is meant to take you to either the No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket - Short # 18140 or long # C57202. These no-drill brackets have a hose clamp that will wrap around the cross-tube of the hitch for an easy mounting point for the trailer wire harness connector. The long bracket is approximately 6-5/8" long and the short bracket is 3-13/16" long. If you plan on installing a 7-way connector then you'll...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with Step Under Bumper
    The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with factory step bumper is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e82TR which offers a direct bolt-on fit so there's no drilling required. This trailer hitch is rated up to 7,500 lbs which is the highest available for this vehicle. The max the vehicle can tow is 5,000 lbs so there is no need to go much further over this. In regards to the trailer wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # TK22115...

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located beneath the vehicle, on the driver's side. Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket like # 18138 is recommended to keep the connector secure.

  • How to Replace Rusted Trailer Connector Mounting Bracket on a 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche
    In order to replace the rusted trailer connector mounting bracket on the trailer hitch for your 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche I recommend using part # 18144 if you have a 4-way or part # 18138 if you have a 7-way. These brackets will attach to the hitch via the included self tapping screws or by welding. If you do not want to drill into the hitch or weld than you can add the no drill bracket part # 18140 for 4-way or part # C57202 for 7-way in addition to the corresponding bracket listed above.

  • Is it Normal for 7-Way Bracket of EcoHitch that Fits 2022 Toyota RAV4 to Angle Down
    You did install the 7-way bracket of the EcoHitch part # EH97FR that fits your 2022 Toyota RAV4 correctly. It is an odd angle that the 7-way does hang at. You could maybe try bending the bracket back so that the angle is better or you could use a bracket like the part # 18138 to mount it to the lower bumper at a better angle.
