Today, you're going to be taking a look at the Pollak mounting bracket and installation hardware for a seven pole RV trailer connector. Part number PK12711U. Our universal mounting bracket is going to allow us to mount up a seven way or a nine way connector on the back of our towed vehicle. The bracket itself is going to be a writing or bracket. So it's going to have that small section where we can either go directly into the bumper or do a no-drill application with an additional bracket that is sold separately.Our mounting bracket is going to include all the hardware necessary to mount up your connector as well as two self tapping screws. If you choose to mount it to the bumper, the bracket itself is going to have a nice epoxy coating on it.
So it's going to resist rust and corrosion. So if you're looking for a way to mount up your seven way or your nine way on the back of your towed vehicle, this is going to be a great solution to get it in a secure spot by your hitch.So now that we've seen what it looks like, let's show you how to get it installed. To mount our bracket up, you have a few different options. It is going to come with a couple self-tapping screws, so you can screw it into the facia, but we're choosing to use this short bracket. So we have a spot right off the hitch that we can mount it up to.
You'll notice that we're going to have two holes on the top of our bracket.And I'm going to take the screws that came from our short bracket. I'll drive the screws down and I'm going to lift my bracket up, lining up the holes. Then we can secure it down with the locking nut. I'm going to come back with a three eight socket. I'm going to tighten up those two nuts.
I'm going to take our wiring and I'm going to either pass this through, or I'll take the plugin, line it up and plug in the back of our seven way. Make sure it clicks into place and then you'll notice that the holes are going to line up on a bracket.So test a flat head screw through the front and then secure it on the back with another locking nut. We'll do that for all four locations and once you have all your hardware in. You can come back with a three eight socket and tighten it up. That'll finish up your look at the Pollak mounting bracket and installation hardware for seven pole RV style trailer connector, part number PK12711U..

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.Just the right part for the job! Perfect fit for my 7-way harness and on my draw-tite hitch!
Almost perfect piece to help finish the install on a 7pole plug wiring harness and etrailer hitch. The only thing i would recommend is to purchase stainless steel hardware before you install. The hardware supplied with kit rusted out and broke within 6 months. I replaced all bolts with new stainless.
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.
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...
Will not work with a Nissan Frontier Plug!! Nissan has to make everything complicated. Just fair warning for anyone looking to buy this. I bought the plugin from the dealership so it would plug straight into my wiring harness but their hitch receiver was outrageous so I bought one off here and bought this to hold the plugin. But of course Nissan's require a special bracket that comes only on their factory hitches. I ended up building my own bracket. That being said this would have bolted straight onto the bottom of my bumper, lined up with some pre drilled holes and would have bolted straight to my new receiver.
This mounting bracket worked well with the hitch I bought. etrailer is my go to for all trailering needs.
Very easy to install, much closer to a 2 out of 10 installation difficulty. You must pull the rear facia, which has about 6 screws and 10 plastic plug in holders, unbolt the bumper (8 bolts), and bolt on the hitch in place of the bumper using the same holes. Piece of cake. It would be helpful if they would tell you that the top 2 plastic push in fasteners at the rear wheels will release if you push the tiny center button in. This is opposite of normal and can be frustrating. Less than 1 hour install. Seven pin connector looks to be a PIA, but I need the reverse light signal.
This is a very high quality bracket. Very easy to install, came with every thing you need. Installed this on a new 2020 Honda Passport. Took me about 5 minutes to install on the new hitch receiver and that was taking my time. The only thing I wish it would have came with is 6 bolts and nuts instead of 4 of each, I didn't need the 2 self tapping screws due to the the hitch receiver that I got came with the mount for the bracket that required 2 bolts with nuts, but that wasn't a big deal for me because I just so happened to have some on hand. I ordered this with the receiver hitch and the wire harness. Everything was shipped for free and arrived in 4 days. Anyone with basic tools and knowledge can install this. Ordering this and installing it myself saved me over $1,300 compared to letting the dealership do it. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
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.
Keith - 07/16/2020Don't get this and the mounting bracket, item 18140 if you are installing it around the Curtis Hitch Receiver Item #13514 it's not going to fit along with your 7 way connector Item #118266.
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 bought a trailer hitch and harness for my 2019 Kia Sportage it's been fine reasonable price it does a job very very happy
Vance M - 01/12/2021Makes the total installation look professional. Great Fit
Still great after a year of service. No issues! Easy to install! Highly recommend etrailer.com!
Great product. Fits the T-one 7-way Vehicle Wiring Connector perfectly. I installed it on a Curt Trailer hitch. I highly recommend it.
The mounting hardware was incomplete and I have to go to the hardware store and get additional nuts and bolts.
Tyler M - 03/05/2021The 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!
I had a local shop install the hitch and wiring harness. I finished up the trailer light receptacle install, routing the wires through a rubber drain plug in the RAV Tire well. Sealed up with clear silicon sealer. A clean long term install. No wire to dangle out of the trunk lid. The hitch and trailer lights work perfectly! Robert Lee Hunt
Bob - 06/01/2020The only problem I had was the self tapping screws included with the kit. Before the screws reached the threads the heads broke off. Make sure you have some extra on hand
Great to have this to mount the connector looks professional to not have it hanging loose
Robert - 03/10/2021Works great for mounting the 7-way plug in a convenient location. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is the hardware is showing rust after only a year. I am not in any kind of road salt environment.
Good fit with the 7-pin harness plug I purchased. One thing I was not happy about was how quickly the black-painted screws began to rust. I would suggest that the manufacturer consider the extra expense of furnishing stainless screws and nuts.
Another awesome order and delivery by etrailer! They really exceeded my expectations and kept in touch from the time I ordered until they ensured delivery. I wish all my online ordering experiences were this smooth and professional.
Perfect fit for 7 pin connector I put on Chevy traverse. Just wish screws were better coated or stainless as they stared rusting with time
Item durable and tough item as described. Made this easy and quick shipping
