Video Transcript for Hopkins Wiring HM48755 Review
Today we're going to review Part Number HM48755. This is the Hopkins mounting box for the four-way flat trailer connector. This part will let you mount your four-way flat trailer connector to your vehicle very quickly and easily. The plastic box right here will store the four-way neatly out of the way until it's needed. This will help keep your trailer connector secure and out of the elements. It is made of a durable, corrosion proof ABS plastic material, and it installs easily with the included mounting bracket, it's an aluminum mounting bracket, and the mounting hardware. You just attach this to your vehicle's bumper near the hitch, and then basically the way this would operate, here I've got an example, this is what a four-way would look like, four-way flat.
Basically you would just run it through the hole in there, and then on your box itself, you'll notice there's the cutouts, two holes in the center part, you just punch those out, and then that will allow you to run it through the box, and it comes through the box and then you just store, the four-way would just store in there and the cover would close over it to protect it. On the back of the box, it has a two-way tape that once you get it all connected, it would just mount up against your mounting bracket just like that, and again, the hardware it comes with is used to mount this back by your hitch itself. That should do it for the review on Part Number HM48755, the Hopkins mounting box for the four-way flat trailer connector. .

Super easy to install on our 2016 Chrysler Town and Country Touring L. Nice addition to the tow setup and protects the trailer plug well.

Excellent experience the instructions were clear and this made the installation very easy and fast. Etrailer is one of a small group of companies that really goes the extra mile to make very sure that your experience is more than you would expect

It holds the trailer wire plug out of the elements--simple enough. It is large enough to hold the plug. The hinge that connects the lid to the box is thin plastic and will separate if the lid is opened enough times.

This box fits perfectly beside the license plate and allows me to tuck the connector inside easily.

Product arrived very quickly, shipping container was intact despite the weight of the hitch. Hitch was in excellent condition no scratches etc. First time installer so it took me a bit longer than I thought (a couple of trips to the hardware store to get the correct size sockets) but overall it was a very doable project. The instructions were very good and made the job straightforward. Would do again if need arises. Thanks for a good product.

well built, it is made for the smaller 4flat connector, not the heavy-duty version, I filed a groove to fit the heaver plug will work well.

The wiring harness fit perfectly as advertised. Took only a couple minutes to hook into the existing harness on the truck. The box to cover the connector end took about 30 minutes to install, but was worth the time. Shipping time was great. Way to go, etrailer.

I just wanted to let you know I found you guys! I recently purchased a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and I am anxious to upgrade it as I move forward. As you know, I just purchased a trailer hitch for it and installed it on Thursday. It fits perfectly and it looks great. Occasionally I will pull it behind my 40' DP so that is why I ordered the base plate. The motorhome came with a Blue Ox tow bar and I was excited until I found out it was 15 years old! So, I will be ordering a new tow bar next. George, thank you for your excellent communication. I can't wait to get the base plate and install it!

This was an impulse purchase for me, but well worth it. It works as intended to keep the wiring tidy when not in use. It gives a professional, finished appearance to the hitch and wiring installation.

I received my trailer wiring harness very promptly. The harness was well designed and manufactured. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to add trailer lights to their vehicle.

Easy to apply to bumper or trailer hitch, easy to place wiring inside of mounting box. Am very pleased with product. Only con is wish box was about 1/2 inch deeper to fit more 4-way flat wire.

I got exactly what I ordered at a good price and in a timely manner. These parts are exact replacements for ones that I had damaged. Etrailer is a one stop shop for items of this nature and at a reasonable price. This was not the first time I ordered from etrailer and certainly won't be the last

May want to paint the shiny bracket before installation so it blends in better with the black bumper cover.

The box is a little tight but does house the connector and keep it out of the way and clean when not in use.

- Connector Protector for a 5-Pole Flat Wiring HarnessThe 4 and 5-Flat Trailer Connector Mounting Box, Part # RP74641, is a very good 5-flat protector. You could also use the 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector In-Line Circuit Tester, part # 20115, which has a protective cover on the end that is not connected to the vehicle.

So, for the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT or # 119190KIT which are confirmed fit options you can run the 4-way connector out the same bumper hole as the hitch or create a separate hole. My recommendation is either use the...

- Does Hopkins 4-Way Wiring for 2017 Toyota Corolla Supply Enough Power for Trailer LightsThe Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11141824 or your 2017 Toyota Corolla will be able to provide enough power for your trailer lights. The only exception is if your trailer has a crazy amount of lights on it. In that case you would need to disconnect some of those lights because no trailer connector is rated for an excessive amount of lights. To mount this connector near your hitch receiver I recommend using the Hopkins # HM48755 along with the Curt # C57202.

One more option is the # HM47605 combined with # HM48605.

Your vehicle has combined wires for both the brake and turn signal lights, therefore, I recommend using a trailer wiring harness like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118534 as this will work well for as you. This is a complete plug and play kit with everything needed for installation and no required hardwiring. For a trailer hitch receiver compatible...

The # HM48755 outside dimensions are 2-3/8 inches x 3-1/2 inches. This attaches with self-adhesive tape and is not a bolt-on installation. The Tow-Ready Mounting Bracket, part...

- Mounting Bracket For Trailer Side 4-Way ConnectorFor your trailer side 4-way connector, I recommend the Hopkins Mounting Box for 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48755. This can mount to the tongue or coupler on your trailer and keep your 4-way clean and out of the elements. Other options are the Hopkins Fold-Over Mounting Bracket for 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48595 or the Tow Ready Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 which can work on the trailer side just as well as the vehicle side.

- Mounting Bracket Options For 4-Way Trailer ConnectorsWe do offer a couple of mounting boxes for 4-way flat connectors, but the style differs from the Draw-Tite Bracket, part # 18156. You can check out part # RP74641 and part # HM48755. These are designed to protect your 4-way flat connector. I have attached links to our product pages that list the mounting brackets we have for 4-way round and 4-way flat trailer connectors.

This bracket fits a 2-1/2 inch square tube hitch and is designed to mount a 6- or 7-way round trailer connector. If you are using a 4-way flat connector and would like an enclosed mounting box, we have the Reese 4 and 5-Flat Trailer Connector Mounting Box # RP74641 and the Hopkins Mounting Box for 4-way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48755.

I prefer to have it mounted by the receiver for easier access, but if someone doesn't do much towing then storing the connector in the rear cargo area of the van will keep it safer from the elements. To keep the 4-Way hanging near the receiver you can use the Mounting Box...
