This bracket provides a sturdy place to attach your electrical connector mounting bracket (sold separately). Designed for use with 4-way, 5-way, and 6-way connector brackets. Included hose clamp secures bracket to your trailer hitch.Package had hitch protruding out of cardboard. The wiring harness wire for the right side were short and I had to splice 3 wires to those that were short. The plug adapter was cheaply made. [online] guy said hitch could be installed with a floor jack. I would like to see him try it. Hitch appears to be of good quaility.

I couldn't use this on my 2001 F-150 trailer light hook-up installation. BUT, it worked GREAT to attach a Orange Triangle "slow moving vehicle" sign on the rollbar of my old Kubota tractor. WITH no drilling into the rollbar (a NO-NO).....
JohnInKY - 08/03/2023Worked perfect, easy to install. I had to mount it in a different orientation, but it fit and tightened perfect.
No issues to date, looks great too.
Jorge G - 04/12/2023I ordered three items, one hitch and two brackets. The hitch came in a broken box with no bolts or instructions and one of the two brackets was missing. Out of three items one was incomplete and one missing. Pretty bad!!! On top of that I had already took the plastic panel off and got the car ready for the hitch, which I had to put back on.. Not going to order from this company again!!!
Katrina B - 05/02/2023Good installation instructions and excellent install videos for the Honda. High quality set up, powered up the trailer lights etc, no issues.
The No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting bracket worked great! Instructions were easy to follow.
Edwin G - 04/25/2023Great service, very expedient with shipping. Courteous and professional staff. My go to place for trailer parts and vehicle accessories!!
As always, I had my order from etrailer in no time. The items were well packed for shipping. This is an easy fix to secure my trailer wiring plug. Keeps it where you need it and not hanging loose where it could be damaged.
The Draw-Time trailer hitch went on without a "hitch". The process of ordering the correct components (hitch, wiring harness and 4 pole plug mount) for my 2016 Ford Flex was nearly effortless with only one call to clear up one concern. etrailer's videos that were vehicle and product specific made for a great experience. Thanks
I did not need this with my Draw Tite undermount hitch I installed last year. Should have checked before I ordered.
Great experience, start to finish for entire hitch, wiring order, install info and customer support.
Sturdy piece of items here. Had to mount bracket(s) on receiver hitch area due to another flat location being (my opinion) too far from receiver area. It all worked out. Have been a customer on here for years now. They always have durable products to sell and the how to videos are a plus. Thank you all
Worked great to mount the EZ Connector 7 way connector to the receiver on a Ram 3500. No drilling or cutting required.
Perfect for my hitch. Keeps the wiring from just flopping around
This piece worked great. I had to do a slight modification since I used a different wiring option, but is works great.
Darrell - 04/18/2023Easy to install. Just double check that you’ve got the fastener strap the correct way round so you’re not tightening it at an awkward angle. It would be easiest to install this on the hitch before attacking the hitch to your car, which I did not do.
The product arrived within a week and was of excellent quality. Installation was a breeze.
This product is a great idea, but, it cannot be used on the hitch in the application I purchased for. You might think "E Trailer" would know, given the research they put into which hitch is needed and for what vehicle, that the "No Drill Mounting Bracket" will not work unless you want to climb underneath your vehicle to plug in the wiring harness. I guess they don't know, or are hoping you buy the item anyway. ???
Thomas M - 01/26/2022Installed the Universal Bracket (18140) and 4-Pole Flat Mounting Bracket (18144) in about ten minutes. It keeps my new trailer light wiring kit from hanging loose. Added a wire/cable shield to keep the wires from rubbing against anything. Super easy installation and the extra protection should extend the service life by years. I recommend this product.
This product was perfect and the video for putting it together with the hopkins wiring plug worked perfectly! I simply bought this product to take place of my old one.
Zachary G - 03/12/2017Bought this along with the hitch C13143, wiring harness 56083 and bracket 18144. While the hitch and wiring harness went on as described, and I have nothing but praise for the product and service (and YouTube videos), these two brackets were not made for my Lexus. The hitch is too far back and up for these to work as advertised. However, I figured out if I cut the cover a bit more, I could mount these right behind the side hole in the hitch, and they are accessible but also out of the way, and out of sight. Needed a bigger clamp, but lucky I had one in my workbench. Check out the picture for how it looks. Make sure your trailer wires are long enough to reach to it. Don't cover the hole for your locking mechanism!
The product itself appeared to be good but on my 2018 Mazda CX 5, the trailer hitch is mounted very high and the wide part is on the back side, not the top, so when part #18144 is attached, it does not point out the back of the car. It would have been up behind the bumper with the connector pointing down. I did not need the hidden look and it would have been a pain to connect each time.
I could not use Part #18140 with my vehicle. The pictures I included show how high the trailer hitch bar is up under the car and where I ended up attaching the #18144(118144 on box) to the metal bumper bracket. Image without bracket shows back of car at top of picture.
This works great and looks great on my 2021 Ford Escape hybrid. The short version of this bracket was the perfect length. It holds strong to the hitch and securely holds the wiring connector. My only complaint is about etrailer. They recommended the long bracket in the video detailing the harness installation and after installing it, it was way too long and looked ridiculous. The short version was the perfect length.
The bracket is simple and works great. The clamp is a worthless piece of junk. I had to go to a hardware store and buy a decent clamp.
The electrical mounting bracket worked good but was a little hard to get it in place around the receiver hitch.
