Video Transcript for Comprehensive Review: Blue Ox 7-Wire to 4-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord

Today we're going to show you the Blue Ox seven wire to four wire coiled electrical cord, part number BX88254. We have it together here and you can see that our coils are tied together, and it's just about a foot long. This will actually expand or stretch out to about seven feet. Now we'll take a look at its seven-pole end here. This is designed to work with your RV. The other end is designed to plug into your car that you're towing behind the RV.

It also comes with a provided four-pole connector as well. Now this does not come with a bracket to hold it in place, or the hardware, so you need to supply that on your own. Now all the wires and cables are encased in a silicone-based material. That will finish it for the Blue Box seven to four-way coiled electrical cord, part number BX88254. .

Got exactly what i ordered and without delays. Will buy from etrailer again



by:

It has held up very well so far. My 2 previous Blue Ox coiled electrical cords started stretching out, discoloring and deteriorating after about 2 years of use each time.
Hopefully they have improved so I can give them another excellent review in about another year.



by:

I have ordered products in the past and have always received good quality merchandise in a timely manner.



by:

We've owned a few of these, and they've been fine. Our hook-up requires that the cord be pulled pretty tight, and we use small bungees at both ends to keep it plugged in when traveling, and to keep it from dragging down the road if it should become detached. We've had it happen, and the cord was ruined.
We would like to find a longer one but have not seen such an item for sale. A wire came loose a few months back, in the 'tow car' end. A simple fix.
These are the best cords we've found.

The Blue Ox BX88254 stretches to 7 feet long, but Hopkins offers a longer version, part # HM47043 which stretches to 8 feet long.

Very well.



by:

This cord is a replacement for the same model. The previous cord became brittle after constant exposure to the weather. Only the exterior sheathing was damaged with no issues with the conductors inside. The replacement is stored when not in use and remains in like new condition. The original serves as a backup.



by:

Well made product. Received on time as-promised, well packaged and no damage. Good craftsmanship and quality components very evident and it works as advertised.
eTrailer is a great company to do business with. Their internet site os well designed, fast and accurate with great follow-up and attention to the customer. I have completed business with them for over a few years now and never had a disappointment.
Recommend them all the time.

Using this product for over a year now and It is working great... as it should. I STILL like doing business with eTrailer.



by:

Very professional to deal with



by:

We were having a hard time finding a replacement cord to connect our motor home to our Jeep. Jeep dealer was not real helpful. I came across this site, they had what I needed shipped it promptly. It is great quality and works well. Even better than the previous one I had which did come from the Jeep dealer.

Great! No problems.



by:

This was just what I was looking for and has worked great since I bought it a year. Really like the length for my motorhome-car connection; easy to install each time I get ready to hit the road. Thought about purchasing a second one to have on hand in case of an emergency.

This product is still working like it did when purchased. It shows no signs of wear...only road dirt and grime. Glad I purchased it.



by:

I am very happy with my order from etrailer. I received the Blue Ox set up for my Jeep Wrangler and all were installed without a problem. Since, I have referred my friends to etrailer.



by:

etrailer had what I was looking for. Ordering was easy and owns arrived a promised. I'll be back to buy more.



by:

Fits perfectly would’ve loved it if some kind of wiring diagram for a 4pin round trailer plug was included



by:

All;

These folks are EXCELLENT!!!
Great prices (better than other web stores in many cases) and their Customer Service is OUTSTANDING, seriously. My order was not huge but they were in constant contact with me, even on a Sunday!, letting me know where things stood and even following up after delivery to make sure I was happy... Where do you get that kind of service today?? I highly recommend etrailer.com. Great folks!



by:

Would have given it 4 stars had it came with wiring instructions for the connector



by:

Excellent electrical cord



by:

allows me to quickly and easily go from the 7 wire plug on my motorhome to the 4 wire end on the light wiring harness I installed on my tow car. Good sturdy component.



by:

Don’t blame etrailer, but this Blue Ox cord has no instructions for wiring the receptacle. Other than that, the product is great!!!



by:

Received my order on the day promised in good condition in sealed packaging. Planning my next road trip and I am sure they will work perfectly.



by:

I ordered on Sunday and received on Thursday! Your tracking was excellent and your customer service is top notch! Thank you so much Etrailer for being there! I will highly recommend you!



by:

We were glad to be able to find this item. First we drove out to Wentzville thinking the store would be open. Sure hope it opens back up in the future.
You have many items needed by motor home owners and we intend to tell our friends to remember about your services.



by:

Ordergin this electical connector is the first step in preparing my car for towing. It was the right plug for the existing socket that is already on my RV.



by:

I purchased this item as a replacement and it works very well. I prefer the coiled cord over what I had before. I would recommend this item.



by:

Just what we wanted. Connector arrived promptly in original packaging. Easy to order. Very friendly folks to do business with...



by:

Easy online ordering. Shipping great. Time will tell about the quality. Connector seems a bit on the fragile side.



by:

Standard electrical cable from motorhome to Jeep for towing.

  • How Many Wires Are in the Blue Ox 7-Wire to 4-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord
    The Blue Ox 7-Wire to 4-Wire part # BX88254 only contains a bundle of four wires. Instead, I recommend the Blue Ox 7-Wire to 6-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord part # BX88206 which contains a bundle of six wires. We don't offer a coiled cord with all seven but you could simply exclude the reverse/backup light wire as this isn't used most of the time anyway.

  • Replacement Parts for Flat Tow Setup for 2015 Ford Fiesta
    We have the replacement parts you're looking for. The correct replacement attachment tab will depend on which base plate you have. The # BX2650 (for ST models and non-ST with EcoBoost) uses the # BLU57XR tabs and the # BX2622 (for non-ST models without EcoBoost) uses the # BLU37XR tabs. For the other replacement parts you need the following: -Safety Cables: Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables # BX88196 -Replacement LED Monitor Light # SM99612 -Blue Ox 7-Wire to 4-Wire # BX88254 -Fastway Zip Coiled...

  • Wiring to Connect Motorhome to 2010 Honda Fit That's Being Flat Towed
    The base plate has mounting points for either a 6 or 4 way round connector to attach, but the connectors aren't included with the base plates. I'd recommend cutting off the 4-pole flat provided by the Hopkins # HM56302 flat towing wiring harness and installing the 4 pole round connector provided with the 7-foot long Blue Ox 7-way to 4-pole round cord, part # BX88254. I've linked you to some of our flat towing FAQ articles.

    We can get you the items you need to go along with your Falcon 2 tow bar and Even Brake system to get your 2007 Honda CR-V ready for flat towing. A good starting point is a review of your CR-V owner's manual to see if Honda recommends any special preparation steps or if certain versions are excluded from flat towing. You may also care to review the linked article that covers each of the components required for safe and legal flat towing. These include the tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting...

  • Can 4-Pole Round Connector Be Installed on Hopkins Flat Towing Wiring Harness on 2015 Wrangler
    That's correct. The Blue Ox # BX88254 Coiled Electrical Cord does included a 4-pole round connector. You can simply cut off the 4-pole flat on the Hopkins wiring harness and replace it with the 4-pole round connector. If you use the Blue Ox # BX1126 base plate, it actually has a mount for the connector built onto it, as shown in the provided photo. I'll link you to some FAQ articles you might find helpful, as well as to videos showing the Hopkins wiring harness and the base plate kit...

  • Base Plates and Flat Towing Equipment for 2009 Lincoln MKX
    For the 2009 Lincoln MKX, you would need the Roadmaster # 4408-1 base plate kit. The # 4408-5 base plates fit 2011-2013 MKX models. The structure under the vehicle of the 2009 model is different enough from the 2011-2013 models that the parts are not interchangeable. According to Remco Towing, the 2009 MKX is capable of being flat towed if the speed is kept at 65 mph or lower, and the engine is started as often as possible to prevent the battery from being discharged. I would urge you...

  • Needed Tow Bar and Accessories to Flat Tow 2007 Jeep Liberty
    In order to flat tow your Liberty, you will need to install a base plate kit. I would recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit, part # RM-521423-4. A base plate offers a safe and secure attachment point to the vehicle. This particular Roadmaster kit offers easily-removable drawbars. One they are removed, the bracketry is pretty much invisible. If you are mechanically inclined, you might be able to handle the installation, but it is fairly involved. Typically, an RV would have a receiver...

  • Can Front Mounted Hitch Be Used to Flat Tow 2004 Toyota Tacoma
    A front mounted receiver hitch is not designed to be used as an attachment point when the vehicle is being flat towed. To flat tow your 2004 Tacoma, a tow bar base plate must be used. I'd recommend the Blue Ox # BX3728 base plates and the # BX7380 Alpha tow bar, which includes safety cables. For a lighting solution, I'd recommend the # RM-155 bulb and socket taillight wiring kit. The kit provides an extra set of bulbs that install in the rear taillight assemblies. This kit won't require...

    The Blue Ox 7-Wire to 4-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord # BX88254 will work with your current setup if you are wanting to replace your current wiring. I do have a way for you to accurately recommend all of your current wiring as well if that was your concern. Attached is a photo of what pinout should be for your 4-Way. Simply apply 12V power to the loose wires to see what light circuit they run to and then connect them accordingly. You can use the 7-Way photo that I linked so that you know...

  • Missing Connectors for Blue Ox 7-Wire to 4-Wire Coiled Electrical Cord # BX88254
    I'm going to assume that you have a Blue Ox coiled electrical cord, like part # BX88254, which has a 7-way for your motorhome. To replace the connector on the front of the towed vehicle you can use part # PK11410, and for the connectors on the cord, # PK11409 for 4-way and # PK12706 for 7-way. I have included a picture for you which shows each style of connector and part number.

    I don't see that we have made an install video for the Blue Ox Tail Light Wiring Kit - Bulb and Socket # BX8869 on your 2013 Honda Fit. However, this is a universal bulb and socket kit that works via plugs and sockets mounted inside the tail lights of your vehicle. I attached an installation video for a Honda Pilot and the process should be very similar for your Honda Fit. You will also need to add a 4-Way round wiring kit # BX88254 to run power from the 7-way connector on your RV to your...

  • Umbilical Extension Cable Recommendation for 7-Way to Tow Vehicle with 4 or 6 Way Round

  • Can a Roadmaster Stowmaster Tow Bar be Adapted to Fit Blue Ox Base Plates on a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta
    The adapters # RM-031 and # RM-031-5 do not fit the Stowmaster tow bars. The Blue Ox base plates for the 2002 VW Jetta, # BX3827, are designed for use with motor home mounted tow bars and not car mounted tow bars like the Stowmaster. If you like the Blue Ox base plates and want a used tow bar, then the compatible ones you should be looking for are the Blue Ox Aventa, Aladdin, Alpha and Allure tow bars. Motor home mount tow bars are actually the more secure and easier to use option than...

  • Necessary Equipment to Flat tow 2003 Subaru Baja Behind an RV
    Before attempting to flat tow your vehicle, I'd recommend checking the owner's manual or with Subaru about any procedures or modifications required to flat tow the vehicle. I was unable to access an online copy of your owner's manual. Usually, manual transmission vehicles can be flat towed without modification, but if the vehicle is AWD or has an automatic transmission, the vehicle will often need some modification. To flat tow the vehicle, you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables,...

  • Recommended Tow Bar Wiring for 1989 Jeep YJ with Wiring and 4-Way Round Already Installed
    For a tow bar wiring kit that will allow your 1989 Jeep YJ to accept the Escalade's tail, brake and turn signal lights, I recommend the Blue Ox 7-Wire to 4-Wire # BX88254. Since you already have the wiring and round 4-Way connector installed on the Jeep, this will be all you need to connect from the Jeep to the 7-Way on your Escalade. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product for you to check out.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1996 Chevy C/K Series Pickup Truck Behind a Motor Home
    I am glad you emailed us because there are some things that you need to be aware of. First, the Tow Ready tow bar, # 63180 is only rated for 5,000 pounds and your 1996 Chevy Silverado could easily exceed this capacity. The other problem with the tow bar is that it is only rated for a maximum speed of 45 miles per hour. We need to get you a proper set up. The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the truck owners manual to determine if it can be flat towed and if so what special...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD
    Flat towing safely and legally requires a few components, including the tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit, a braking system and base plates on the towed vehicle. Sometimes a wiring extension and high/low hitch adapter are needed too. The hitch adapter is required to keep the tow bar near level when it is connected; your large tires and lift may well require one of these. Please refer to the linked help articles on flat towing and hitch adapters. You'll also want to check your...

    We do have an LED wiring kit just like the Kit # BX8869 that you referenced. It is found as part # BX88267 on our site. You can use the LED kit if your 2009 Subaru Forester does not have LED tail lights and if each tail light housing has enough room for an extra bulb and socket. It could be that there is no room for an extra bulb and socket which would be why the Roadmaster Kit # RM-152-LED isn't confirmed to fit.

    First, there are 5 items you will need to flat tow your 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. Base plates provide the proper attachment point for a tow bar. Roadmaster has different base plates depending on how the vehicle is equipped, see link. After you select the base plates for your specific model, you will need a tow bar. I recommend the Falcon 2, # RM-520. It is the most popular Roadmaster tow bar. I have linked instructions...

    There are so many different diagrams on how to wire a 4-way round trailer connector because a standard has not been set on how to wire this type of trailer connector. This is likely because 4-way round trailer connectors are not very common. I spoke with my contact at Blue Ox to determine how they wired their 7-Wire to 4-Wire Adapter, # BX88254, that you are planning on using. When looking at the front of the socket, wire the 4-way round socket as follows - Top Left - Left stop/turn,...

In addition to the tow bar and base plates, you will also need safety cables, a lighting solution and a supplemental braking system (required by law in most states). If you prefer a coiled safety cable, the # RM-643 is a good choice. For a straight cable, I would recommend # RM-645.
