This universal, right-angle bracket is designed for mounting the Pollak 7- and 9-pole trailer connectors to your towing vehicle. Black, zinc-plated bracket mounts under rear bumper of truck or SUV. Mounting hardware included.0 instructions and inadequate mounting hardware. The two speed screws I assume are meant to mount the bracket to the tow bar are worthless. Good thing I had some useable hardware lying about. Unfortunately I don’t have any sort of lock washer that would work so I attempted to use one of the speed screws as a backup/safety but it literally disintegrated as soon as it went through the bracket material and hit the tow bar. Really flimsy as well, not too Impressed with this bracket at all, but it’ll do until I can replace it. I was under a time crunch to get this installed but if you have time, look for something better I’d say.
Went on fairly simple. How do use longer tech screws to mount it to the frame.
Should actually bolt onto the bumper instead of just screw into plastic. Will not last over time. Missing parts when it arrived.
perfect fit with the draw tite hutch on my 2022 frontier. using curt t-connector 7 way harness kit.
Although this bracket comes with tapping screws to mount to a metal undersurface structure, it only has 4 screws for the 7 point hitch device to screw into it and no additional screws to mount to the hitch itself. It should come with 6 locking screws for that purpose. I had to use 2 to mount it to the hitch and 2 to mount the 7 point hitch device into the bracket, leaving 2 spots open. I went to my local hardware store and autozone and couldn’t find these exact screws and etrailer doesn’t sell them as a separate order.
Simple to install and fit with my hitch. My one complaint is that I did not even know I needed this piece until after receiving my hitch and wiring harness and watching the install video for the harness.
It would be great if e trailer had a little prompt that listed all the parts you will need with the product you are buying
All in all though, this is the second hitch I have bought from e trailer and both experiences have been good. Highly recommend.
This worked ok for me on my trailer light install, but after a year the black screws that came with the kit are rusting badly. I didn't use the silver screws that came with the kit, needed longer ones, so can't say how they would hold-up......
product fit perfectly making the installation very easy and look professional. shipping was fast and easily tracked.
I have ordered several times and they have always been quick efficient and very helpful. Even to the point of saving me money!!!!
Fit my harness plug fine. Had to use my own bolts to mount it to the bracket on the hitch.
Should come with six flat head screws and washers. Two are used to attach this to the mounting point on the receiver and then you should have four for attaching the power receptacle.
The tow package I purchased last year, fits great and installed perfectly. It works perfectly with my electronic under-dash brake controller.
The kit came with everything that I needed and instructions were easy to read I had the entire kit installed in about 40 minutes it's work Flawless for me for over a year and I tow a variety of trailers the plug is never failed due to workmanship it is still water tight.
The receiver cap spring still has excellent tension to help hold the plug into place, the only gripe I have is that I should have installed stainless mounting screwswhen I installed the kit because the mounting starting are starting to rust a little, but that's my oversight and is nothing to do with the kit and its ability to provide flawless service.
I highly recommend this product if you're like me and was looking for an oem Plug and Play setup!
5 stars!
My F150 had an OEM 4 pin trailer plug and hitch.
The 118242 - 7 pin connector with wiring harness is the ticket. The hardest part of the install was dropping the spare tire. The plugs connect directly to the factory plugs and the harness length is the correct length.
The 3035-P brake controller connector harness was just as easy. Plugs right in to the OEM plug next to the ECM connector and the other end into the brake controller.
The PK12711U-26 - 7 pin bracket and hardware kit fastens directly the OEM bracket that is on the hitch. My truck had an OEM 4 pin trailer towing set up with the hitch. The OEM hitch had the bracket welded on it to attach the 7 pin mounting bracket to it.
These kits make this install very easy and professional looking.
If I have one complaint, the hardware kit to attach the 7 pin connector bracket is set up to fasten the bracket directly to the bumper with 2 - self tapping screws provided in the kit. The kit also includes 4 #12 machine screws with toothed washer nuts to attached the 7 pin connector to the bracket. This is fine if your truck hitch doesn't have an attaching bracket welded to it. The kit should included in it 6 #12 machine screws and nuts along with the 2 self tapping screws. Since my OEM hitch actually had a bracket welded to it to attach the 7 pin bracket to it, I had to use two other #12 screws and nuts to attach the 7 pin bracket to the OEM bracket on the hitch. Not a big deal, just a thought.
It took me about 2 hours, start to finish to install the 7 pin connector, trailer controller, and add the two relays in the OEM relay/fuse box under the hood.
I highly recommend these kits.
The bracket fit the hitch without any p roblems.
It was suggested I purchase this bracket to assist in mounting my 7-way trailer harness (item #118253) to my 2010 Honda pilot. When I tried to attach the bracket underneath and behind the bumper, I discovered it was too tall and very difficult to fit where it was required. I also found that the bracket is a 90-degree bend and will not go flush against the bumper wall. The bumper wall runs at an angle and you would need a bracket with an approx 35-degree angle to fit flush against the bumper, that's important if you want a professional clean looking mounting of the trailer harness (7- way insert) like I installed (see attached pics). So forget this bracket, Just save your money and mount onto the bumper wall, plenty thickness and you get a clean look...Maybe one day they will make the proper bracket for such an installation...
The fit was perfect, wish I’d ordered it instead of the one from [home improvement store]. It didn’t have slotted holes. It made all the difference. However I chose to use stainless steel hardware to attach it.
Bought for a 2018 Nissan Frontier. Fit the wire plug perfectly and the Screws and nuts to secure the plug to the bracket were fine. The two screws to attach the bracket to the vehicle were way too small to use. They wouldn't work on the mounting tab on the Draw-Tite hitch or the factory holes under the bumper. I suppose if your creating new holes they would be okay. Appears to be a quality piece and I'm very satisfied with it.
I have a 2003 F-150 and wiring parts I needed were a perfect fit. The videos were very helpful and informative. Now i know that there are relays and fuses that control trailer lights even through the truck lights are working fine.
Still great after a year of service. No issues! Easy to install! Highly recommend etrailer.com!
Worked as advertised to install a 7-pin connector on the OEM 2018 Toyota Highlander hitch. I needed to modify the mounting holes slightly (elongate by 1/8”) on this bracket to get it to fit the OEM plate that is welded to the hitch. It does hang down fairly low, but don’t see another way to address that. Still above the WDH low points when towing, at least.
Just the right part for the job! Perfect fit for my 7-way harness and on my draw-tite hitch!
Had to modify it to get it to working on my installation on a 2021 chevy blazer.
Seems sturdy enough and well painted. I liked that it came with scews, although I decided to use bolts/nuts to mount it to my bumper.
The price I got was excellent compared to what the dealer would charge. Thanks to the etrailer installation videos, i was able to do it without difficulty and this is the first time i installed an item like this.
kind of a generic fit piece. Can make work with some modifications.
