Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket - Vehicle End
As the video indicates, ensure that your vehicle wiring is the same as the 7 blade definitions. Mine was not. Had to determine what color wire connections to use for a 4 flat adapter use on a dolly.
Exact replacement

35 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness - Wishbone Style - 42" Ground
Replaced the wiring and lights on my 1992 boat trailer. I was able to get everything needed from etrailer. I think Optronics is of the highest quality and recommend both etrailer and Optronics product.
Works very well after re-wiring trailer lights with waterproof distribution box.

Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable - Trailer End - 8' Long - RV Standard
Çable good but after putting new 7way plug on truck cable wire colors did not match etrailers picture
7 pin connector separated from cable. I was expecting that "Molded Cable" meant that the connector was fused to the cable insulation but instead, the two separated almost immediately after I installed it. It still works fine as the wires are connected securely inside the connector but with the outer covering pulled out like this, I don't think it will last very long.

Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Plastic Trailer Wiring Socket w/ Rubber Boot - Vehicle End
Used on tow vehicle for hooking up wiring harness to motorhome
This part is an exact replacement to the part that failed. The failure was caused by a poor installation which allowed the rubber boot to chaff on the truck frame. As it was an exact replacement installation was straight forward although I modified the mounting bracket to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem.

Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End
Sooo, bought another one to match my truck side connection as GM uses Pollak, which are known to not play well with other brands. The design is just a wire clamp to wire it, which I did with the first one, but trying to get it secured I stripped out the screw. There are no torque specs provided. I’ll move to crimped ring terminals on this one and dial back the torque a bit.
Used as a replacement for original connector that didn't have a positive fit. This one clicks in and provides confidence of a snug fit.

Hopkins Endurance 6-Way Trailer Connector Socket - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design
The stuff not here
Very difficult to make the wiring connections, I was afraid I’d have problems on down the road so, I took it out of circuit and threw it away

Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket - Exposed Terminals w/ Rubber Boot -Vehicle End
Used this as the connection point for the Roadmaster diode wiring kit. Seems to be well made and will hopefully last a long time. I did spray paint it flat black so it blends into the front bumper of my “toad” a little better.
Base plate and all hardware worked well and fit like a glove, instructions were easy to understand great product

Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-, 5- and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design
This trailer plug has everything I wanted. I have a 5 way plug on my boat trailer, I can still use it with a 4 way plug and I will be able to use it with the travel trailer I am planning to buy. I have not yet installed it but I unpacked it and it looks very well made. I have purchased other products from eTrailer and I have not been disappointed with anything's price or quality. Bob
Installed the Hopkins muti-tow 7, 5, and 4 way flat connector this morning. I ripped the original connector that was attached to the bottom of the hitch receiver off when I was 4-wheeling into the Doll House campgrounds in the Maze District of Canyonlands a month ago. So, I cut a hole in the bumper and mounted the new Hopkins connector, cut off the old broken connector mounting bracket, and connected the factory wiring to the new Hopkins device. Hopkins product installed easily, looks great, is now out of the way, and has the flexibility of multiple trailer connectors when required. I am pleased with the product. Attached is a photo.

Pollak Heavy-Duty, 4-Pole, Round Pin Socket, Concealed Terminals - Chrome - Vehicle End
Very easy to install.
Items were simply “thrown in the box” WITH the hitch which was not secured properly. Heavy hitch then bounced around on electrical connectors, destroying them. Components should have been fastened to the hitch as the hardware kit was with strong tape instead of just thrown into the box by somebody! Refund issued.

RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector - Vehicle End
Installed this on our Chevy Equinox so the battery doesn't get drained while towing it. More convenient than pulling a fuse. Easy install. Highly recommended.
I ordered and paid for a roadmaster 6 pin connector and was sent a made in China piece of junk. Etrailer has attempted to send the correct connector 2 additional times and have failed! Once sending the bracket I ordered and not the connector and then sending yet another China made piece of junk!!

7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 4' Long
Worked great for my application. The wire colors for 7 way plugs aren't universal so I had to pull up a pinout of a 7 way plug and ohm out the wires to the plug to confirm what went where. But the quality of the plug is excellent. After a year of use on a salt water boat trailer it works great. Just makes sure you heat shrink your butt splices and a little dielectric grease in the plug goes a long way.
When I ordered this harness I thought I was getting a standard 7 way for a conventional trailer with brakes. What I actually got was a harness made for a camper/RV hook up. The wires have all the colors you would expect but all the lights/turn signals are coded into the plug completely different. After spending a good deal of time carefully matching, soldering and heat shrinking all connections to my new trailer harness, I was very dismayed to find only the brakes actually worked. After a bit of research I found a schematics page on the etrailer site and discovered the problem. As this is a molded plug I could not take it apart and just reposition the wires inside the plug. Another full hour or more of rewiring followed and now all is well. The harness itself is of very good quality but was not labeled/identified properly. This could have been prevented if etrailer would clearly label this harness as a camper/RV harness only.

7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 6' Long
Only gave 4 stars because it was a bit confusing. I have a lot of auto wiring experience; from car stereos,amplifiers and all manner of accessories. All of the info on etrailer indicated that the color coding didn't match up. So I went into it disregarding the standard color coding, when in fact it was just as it should be.
Good thick rubber and plug works perfectly.

7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector - 3' Long
I've had this in use for over a year and they don't build them like they use to. I use this on a gooseneck trailer and the piece of plastic behind the spade connector for the clearance lights and brakes has melted, allowing the spade connector to lose contact with the plug on the pickup. So the lights would cut off in the middle of the night and would have to wiggle the connection till I could fix it. I have an older Hopkins plug and never had this problem. To fix the problem I ended up putting pieces of thin copper wire behind the spade and have done it twice since the plastic melted a 2nd time and once again the trailer clearance lights would quit working. Attached are before and after pictures.
The product works great but the color coding is off compared to the colors on the trailer. I started hooking this up matching all of the colors.( Red on Red, Black on Black, etc.) When I plugged in the trailer in it blew a fuse. So I got online and found out that the Hopkins wiring is different then normal trailer wiring. Overall it works great but the colors should match to make it easier to hook up.

Pollak Heavy-Duty, 4-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket - Metal - Vehicle End
I've got that trailer that has had one tough life. Yep, hundreds of gigs, PA and sound equipment rolling in and out, the heat, the cold, the sun, rain, and snow. Chicks, guitar players and drummers, you know, all the things that beat the hell out of a drum! Thank the music Gods for etrailer.com! The place to remedy the ills that trailers need in times of harsh environments, tough crowds, tin-ear'd musicians, and you ain't nothing but Hound Dogs!
I've never really liked Flat-4 type connectors. Unless you leave them dangling, they usually require that you crawl under the vehicle to connect them. (...Murphy's Law dictates that this will always be when it's raining or snowing). This Pollak 4-pole round socket, along with a Tow-Ready harness, and matching trailer connector, provides a neat, factory installed look, that's more convenient, and durable. My orders from etrailer arrived quickly, and with great seller communication. A+

20 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness - Wishbone Style - 30" Ground
Just what I needed for my home-built bike carrier. My wife rides an e-tricycle and by the time I loaded the trike and a couple of bikes on this platform, you could not see the car's taillights or blinkers. This harness worked perfectly!
Harness is made well. Installation was vey easy.

4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w/ 72" Harness
Wiring and new self adjusting electric brakes were a simple install and work perfectly. The etrailer online video and written instructions made the job easy.
I needed a plug so I could pull my boat behind my camper. It was just the right length.
