This product saved me from drilling a hole in my new Hannigan Trike.

Functions well. Worm gear band slips off if you over tighten. I thought I had ruined it but I eventually got it to work.

Did not work on the round tube reciever hitch that was on this truck

It worked well on my round tube hitch. I used two stainless steel clamps instead of the one that was included. If I try to push down on it, the bracket would bend before it rotated on the hitch tube.

Though they do not sit as easily on round tube as square tube, they are still very usable if mounted properly. Thanks for the input and the solution you used.


by:

It made the installation very easy. it came with all the hardware needed to make a good looking finish to the entire project.



by:

The product worked perfect and was shipped extremely quick ....
very much pleased with ETRAILER and will be using them from now on for all my trailer needs ,,,,,,



by:

the plate is fine but the strap to hold the plate on would not get tight. screw it until it was close then it would pop and be loose again. piece of garbage!!! had to go buy a new better one!!!



by:

Should have bought this when I bought the connector bracket.



by:

Good quality and very strong mounting bracket. shipping from etrailer. I will definetely buy from here again.



by:

Really appreciated your quick responses with my recent order. Letting me know that you sent it, the great tracking information etc.
Thank you.



by:

Discard the clampThe plate is great for mounting the plug connector. Open the package and toss the clamp. Buy a smaller clamp that actually can be tighten and loosen with ease. The one with the package is an engineering night mare.



by:

Great product did everything they said it would do and more made installation of wiring harness so much easier and cleaner



by:

I received my package a day early and I installed my new trailer hitch in the same day. It took me about an hour to install it. I am very impressed with E trailer's service... I will defiantly will order again from E trailer. Thank you...



by:

A snap to install and exactly what I needed for my 05 Tacoma, since there are no great mount points for an aftermarket 7-way. Product quality is good - definitely not flimsy. Etrailer's ordering process and communications were excellent. I'll be back!



by:

Like dealing with merchants in the good old days!I first ordered an LED trailer plug converter from Etrailer over a year ago. Worked perfect until I broke it by driving away from the trailer without unplugging it. Bought three more. Etrailer kept me updated on the progress of the order, etc. Followed up with emails letting me know that the were backordered but would arrive soon. I have no idea how small or large this company is but it reminds me of dealing with a Mom and Pop hardware store in the old (i.e. 50s and 60s) days!



by:

I was concerned this bracket might be flimsy but that is not the case. I'm not sure I need it for my installation as my Draw Tite# 75586 hitch appears to have the mounting holes for the bracket already to accept the ETBC7 kit, however, the bracket would extend and lift the ETBC7 7-pin connector for easier access and added protection respectively. In any case, for the price I feel it is cheap insurance in case I do need it.



by:

Thanks for the great video on installing the 7 pin adapter (ETBC7L). The video was even on a Toyota Grand Highlander - my exact vehicle. I didn't like how low the video installed the bracket, so I made a few bends to this bracket to integrate it more into the the lower molding. This raised it up another inch or so compared to your video. You can see the height difference in the screen grabs of your install versus mine. Bottom line, you can use this bracket to fabricate for you unique situation.

@VictoriaH 16' Enclosed trailer. Despite ordering with the factory tow hitch, I was upset that Toyota didn't include a 7pin with an easy adapter for a brake controller. I now use the Curt wireless brake controller, so I didn't have to wire anything up to the dash.


by:

hitch installation video was helpful... bolt clearances on the passenger side above the muffler were very tight the space saver spare barely clears the hitch. The wiring harness 7 pin mounting only bolts to the plastic valance. There is no room for any other type of mounting.

Hey neighbor! Install of the 7-way looks great. What do you tow with your Palisade?



by:

Easy to install. No drilling.



by:

Easy install when doing the Curt receiver hitch. Will have to trim the under panel but it gives a clean look on my 2018 Lexus RX 450h. The long plate is necessary to get the plug to align with the receiver.



by:

The plate is adequate, but the mounting with the hose clamp is useless (well almost useless, the clamp held it in place while I drilled the pilot holes to tap 1/4 bolts to hold it on). With just the hose clamp the plate wasn't stationary, the leverage of the plate caused it to wobble. The bolts and nuts worked fine to attache the 7 way plate.



by:

This was part of my hitch installation and it hold the connector securely.

  • Difference Between Curt & Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches For 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    Hi Ken, Starting with the wiring harness, I can verify for you the correct fit for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited without a tow package is indeed the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118786. Then for the hitches, the biggest difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13392 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT78MR is the length of the receiver. The Draw-Tite has a shorter receiver that can make it a bit more of a pain to add a ball mount...

  • 2025 Toyota Sienna Wiring Needed for the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller
    Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out! It sounds like your 2025 Toyota Sienna doesn't have any wiring at the back so you'll need to install the T-One Wiring Harness # TK69FR along with the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This will give you all of the wiring and connections you need to operate the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Brake Controller # TK94FR. I also recommend picking up the No-Drill Wiring Mount # 18136 to secure the wiring at the back of your van.

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
    Hey Rene, thanks for the information. To add a hitch to your 2002 Mitsubishi Montero, you'll want the Curt item # C13800. This is a class III, custom fit hitch with a 2" receiver, that includes all necessary hardware to bolt onto your Montero. It will not fit the Sport models and I do not have an option for a hitch that does. For a wiring harness, I recommend the Curt T-Connector item # C55380. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Mitsubishi's wiring harness, which is located behind...

  • Is There An Installation Video For The # ETBC7 7-Way Installation Kit For A 2015 Mazda CX-5
    Hi Erin, We unfortunately do not have an installation video for the # ETBC7 kit in a Mazda CX-5 but the process is going to be the same for each car. I typically start by mounting the # ETBC7 to the trailer hitch crosstube with a no-drill mounting bracket. With your crosstube being hidden behind the fascia you'll want the long bracket # 18136 and need to face it down. You can either have the 7-way face down or you can stick it in a vice and bend the 7-way side of the bracket up so that...

  • What do I Need for My 2021 BMW X3 M40i so I Can Tow a 6x12 Trailer to Move to a Different State?
    Hello Michael, Happy to get the right tow package together for your move to a different state. I would like to mention that just because the hitch is rated for a specific weight does not mean your car can tow that much, you will need to check your owners manual to see what BMW says you can tow, you are only as strong as your weakest link. The highest rated hitch we for your 2021 BMW X3 M40i is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76226. For...

    Hey Will thanks for the question! The Curt Hitch item # C13409 is compatible with the automatic tailgate switch on your 2025 Subaru Forester. You'll lose some of the sensors range around the 2" receiver but you're not going to want to be kicking in that area anyways once you get it installed. What do you plan on using your hitch for? If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56040 and a ball mount kit item # C45534. I recommend using the No-Drill Mount...

  • Does A Brake Controller Wire Harness Need An Inline Fuse On The Brake Output Wire To The 7-Way
    Hey Rick, The 7-Way connector # ETBC7 would need an inline fuse on the power wire running to the battery and the brake controller # 90885 would also have an inline fuse on it's power wire to the battery. The # ETBC7 comes with a 20a, 30a, and 40a circuit breaker for this purpose. If you're starting from scratch on your 2000 Ford Van then you'll want to first install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118344 you were looking at. From there you can start...

  • Can 2024 Hyundai Palisade Universal Wiring Upgrade Kit Only be Connected to Reverse Light Circuit?
    Hey Brock, thanks for reaching out! The Universal Wiring Upgrade Kit # ETBC7 will definitely get you what you're needing on your 2024 Hyundai Palisade. You'll need to run a wire from the reverse light pin (center pin) to a light on the reverse light circuit on your Palisade. We didn't show how to do this in the video because most people don't need this circuit connected and it requires splicing into your OEM wiring. I also recommend picking up the No-Drill Bracket # 18136 for an easy...

This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because of how easy it is to install it.

    The Draw-Tite item # DT73QR installs below the bumper. This hitch is perpetually backordered due to Draw-Tite being bought out so I have a way better option for a hitch for your 2023 Lexus RX 350. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C29VV. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Lexus with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better it also helps with ground clearance....

  • Where And How To Mount A 7-Way On A 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe
    Good question, Todd! I looked at some pictures we have of the Curt # C37RV hitch installed on a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe and I think I found a good way to do it. Take a look at the picture I have included and you will see what I am thinking (circled in red). Mounting the # 18136 bracket to the bottom of the hitch should allow it to completely clear the bumper fascia, and it will come out far enough to allow easy access as well. From here, you will need to choose wiring if you haven't already....

  • Installing 7-Way Trailer Connector so It Doesnt Get Destroyed Backing out the Driveway
    Here's what I'd recommend. If you have an exposed portion of the hitch crossbar to work with, use the # 18136 no drill bracket. This fastens to the hitch crossbar using an included pipe clamp. You'll also use the # PK12711U 7-way mounting bracket. I'd begin by mounting the trailer connector to the # PK12711U, so that the mounting flange is at the bottom. Then, attach that to the # 18136 but just leave it finger tight for the moment. Put the # 18136 up against the underside of the hitch...

  • Can I Install Both a Flat Towing Wiring Harness and a 4-Way Connector on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK?
    Yes, so long as you don't try to use both of them at the same time. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C55124 will work as a 4-flat connector and plugs into your Jeep's existing wiring. If you try to flat tow your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK with say a bike rack on the back or a cargo carrier that has lights on it then the 4-flat connector will not work, only the Hopkins item # HM56200.
