Best 2016 Subaru Impreza Trailer Wirings

Hitch went on as advertised. Good quality components and excellent fit, tucking away as good as possible. Support was excellent when calling for advice on wiring kits. Once again etrailer for the win!

The controller did not work straight out of the box. All connections were checked and double checked, so it is definitely a bad controller. Unfortunately, I purchased the controller in March and only now had opportunity to install it, so it seems I'll not be able to exchange it. It is disappointing that so many brand new items do not work straight out of the box these days. A shop who does work on my vehicles on occasion said that over the past 4-5 years, he has seen a huge jump in bad components.

Worked out well.

2 things. 1st@: I think there should be an option to pick tinned wire. 2nd: The ring terminal for the ground needs to be bigger.

Perfect . My new Subaru hitch has a flat plate to which the dealership attaché the 4-flat. I used “2 L-brackets” to accommodate the 90 degree bend of the adapter bracket.

I recently had a receiver hitch installed on my 89 Silverado and the wiring was merely zip tied to the safety chain connection. Well that didn't sit well with me. I wanted a more permanent wiring connection point. So I purchased your 4 flat to 4 flat and 7 way plug and installed it. So far so good. The installation turned out perfect and it looks good. The test lights are a great thing as well. I couldn't be happier.

Trailer wiring got here just today so I can't really review this one. However, I have purchased the same unit before and it's really great. Just make sure you ground it properly and make good connections and it will work fine. Thanks again for a great product and rapid service. Robert

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!

This is very heavy duty looking connector and wires. I needed one to replace the damaged one on my Demco car hauler which is built for rental market. This looks as heavy duty as the original. Which didn't break but someone let it drag on the ground and wore half the pins off.

I have been very pleased with etrailer orders recently. Everything shows up when expected and products are as expected. Attached are a couple before and after pictures of my recent project to add lights to a cargo rack per my wife's request. Thanks for the professionalism of all at trailer

The plug is different from original cord. Doesn’t look as good but we’ll see how it works. 1st new cord

It's a bundle of wires with a plug. Hard to make this type of part special above other brands. Price is the big factor. Not quite sure why this one is 50% less cost than some others. But works as expected. Solved the dreaded taillights blinking while traveling on the road.

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.

Decent enough plug. It was an easy install. I would have liked to have allen screws to get a good bite, but will check the connections after a use or two.

Great connector.

Plug arrived on time and as described. I replaced a farm implement electric plug and was better than the original!

Exactly what I needed for my trike motorcycle. They knew exactly what I need to order . Quick delivery and very easy to talk with them for my needs

Excellent replacement for older adapter.Also,replaced the old worn out 6 pin connecter on the rv with a Pollak connector.

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.

Customer service was great, I called for help connecting the 7-way and they walked me through it. Shipping could be better

Heavy built. Very much wish it had a cable clamp on the backside similar to its male equivalent. As it is all the strain on the wiring/cable is supported by the terminals themselves.

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!

The product was exactly what I had hoped for, a high quality exact replacement for the one that I had that was 17 years old. It arrived when it was supposed to and was easy to install.

Quality product, reliable shipping. Will continue doing business with them.

Perfect adapter for pulling a hayride trailer!

I will call to arrange a return of this worthless item

I rewired my light bar for my boat trailer with the items I purchased. Before I built the the light bar, every time I used my boat trailer I would waste valuable sailing or fishing time repairing faulty lights. The do not last long when you submerge them in salt water. This light bar now version 3.0 have given little trouble over the years

Great product. Works well when I had a broken connection on my 4 way plug end on my light-up hitch cover I bought from y'all a while back. Always a happy customer. Thanks, George.

It's not the right connector. Different pin configuration on this porsche See photo attached

Got this for my 1980 Austrian Pinzgauer 710 that has the 7 pin EU style plug and a 24v system. I’ve got several US trailers with LED lights that work perfectly with this plug. The LEDs seem to handle the 24 volts ok saving me the hassle of having to relamp incandescent lights. This has been far easier than building a plug from scratch, I would however like to have a seven pin EU to pin US for my heavier trailers with brakes. I’ll probably end up building one but for my light towing this is a great solution.

Great product no issues at all. Product as described & fit properly.

Tough environment for these…need to keep a spare handy

I rewired my boat trailer using the wesbar 4-flat connector from junction box to the hitch. I do wish the wesbar connector was available in tinned wire. I used tinned 14 ga tinned wire for the rest of the wire and ran a ground wire to every light eliminating the trailer frame as a ground. Also added a switch at junction box for a manual trailer reverse flood lights. Filled the junction box with removable potting Gel to prevent water/corrosion. Works great. No issues. Never been stuck on the side of the road troubleshooting an electrical issue / bad ground. Would purchase this again, unless I could find a marine/tinned wire version, then I would purchase that one instead.

Hefty cable with thick sheathing. Should hold up well to rugged use & the elements.

Overall, I was very impressed by this connector. I used it as an in-bed connector for my gooseneck trailers. The plug seems to be a quality product, engineered to stand up to some abuse. I like how the mounting bolt heads recess into the connector and also how the bottom of the connector is elongated to help support the weight of the plug and wiring. I think it has a great shot at lasting for a very long time. The hinge is predominately plastic that will not corrode and break like the many I've had in the past.

Purchased Rv trailer socket for "in bed" installation in my Ram truck. Installation went smoothly and etrailer videos were most helpful in visualizing the install. Product works as described and ordering and delivery were on schedule. Thanks for the great service!

Works, exact fit, high quality, coils tight so max of about 3.5’ perfect! Heavy duty wiring, great waterproof connections.

Item was just as I anticipated. It looks good, works great, and the delivery was as promised. E Trailer is a good place to do business.

Always Professional Help here at Etrailer... !!!

as far as small 5 pin round plugs go, this one's better than others as the terminals are less likely to short against the housing like I've had before. I prefer the 5 flat myself but have two trailers for the bike both done this way, so I stayed with the round.
