Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. If necessary, secure the harness with the provided cable ties.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plug on your automobile and the 7-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

I remember when things weren't plug and play. Those days sucked, lol. Super easy install. Unplug the factory harness, plug in this jumper harness between. On my 2019 Ranger there is a factory cut out in the bumper for a 7-way. So, I used a 1.5" hole saw to make an opening in the plastic bumper cover to flush mount the plug and give it a factory look. Gave it four stars because I'm a stickler for good directions and these didn't specify what the white wire with the ring terminal end is or where to attach it. I know what it is, but what if I didn't?



by:

Easy to use and super easy to install. Not many options for the Rangers, but, this worked exactly as needed. Didn’t need a bracket, I used the stock location in the rear bumper. I drilled it out, drilled the factory bumper back plate and ran 2x 1/4-20 machine screws through it.



by:

Easy to install. Still working fine.



by:

It fits like a glove. Plug and play 35 minutes tops with everything. The only bad thing the zip ties were short. But I'm satisfy with the product and I would recommend it.



by:

Put this kit on my 2020 Lariat ranger. Only complaint was the supplied self taping screw broke off when trying to install and the zip ties was to short. Everything else was very simple easy install. I wanted a factory look so I ordered the Hopkins 7way/4way plug separately.



by:

Great products easy installation



by:
2020 FordRanger

I found it very easy to install, however it did have a lot of extra wire to role up. I did order the HM40975 connecter and installed in the factory postion on the back bumper. the only problem is that my 2020 RANGER came with a 4 pin connecter, but not the factory tow package.So it is missing 3 wires in the wire harness in the truck and only the 4 pins work. I will have to add the other 3 wires myself some time, as I want to get a camper that needs all 7 pins to work.



by:

My installer was very happy I bought the wiring harness from only had good things to say about it. Works great and easy to connect to rental trailers and my trailers.



by:
FordRanger

It worked as described. It arrived very fast. I had it installed in about an hour. My 2021 Ford Ranger is HAPPY.



by:

This works well and was a fairly easy install. What's excellent is the eTrailer Customer Support. My first one started throwing errors (when breaking, accelerating, etc) with no trailer hooked up. The eTrailer folks had me try a couple of troubleshooting steps, then shipped me a replacement right away (it was about two weeks from warranty expiring!). This was the 4th vehicle I've outfitted with hitches, wiring, etc from eTrailer. Always great service. Won't shop anywhere else.



by:

The quality of the product was good but service was etrailer customer service was horrible. I ordered a hitch and a wiring kit with free shipping. They shipped the hitch, but not the wiring harness as it was out of stock, although when ordering it confirmed that it was in available. There was an alternative for a few dollars more. I had to purchase the comparable item on a separate invoice and pay shipping on it. Contacted the company with no response back. They should have contacted me before shipping and offered the alternative item, or shipped the other item with free shipping. Again, happy with the product, but not the customer service.

I am sorry to hear you had such a disappointing experience. It seems that our customer service department has issued you a credit as a courtesy for your situation.

2020 FordRanger

Worked perfectly. My 7pin socket was in very close proximity, so I coiled a pile of wire up. I installed a bumper mounted socket, Ford Part # FU5Z-14489-A versus using the supplied scoket, and the wiring plugged right in. Nice product. I installed my trailer brake controller and this finished it out.



by:

Paid extra for fast shipping and took as long as the free shipping



by:

Great product and reasonably priced arrived in perfect shape



by:

The connector worked great for my truck.



by:
2022FordRanger

The Curt T-connector surpassed my expectations on ease of installation for the plug. The socket part however was a little more time consuming because I decided to mount it in the factory cut out position in the upper bumper instead of utilizing a separately purchased bottom bracket under the bumper..still relatively easy.



by:
2020 FordRanger

This item was just what I needed I had the Sleeve from Ford but no cable or plugs to install under the truck bumper and this fit right into the factory wiring for my New 2020 Ford Ranger. If you don't have a 7 way trailer plug this kit will fit! Thanks!!



by:

Great price



by:

This would get 5 stars if it came with the OEM 7/4 way connector. All Rangers have a place on the number to install that type of plug, but this comes with an oddball that needs an extra bracket to mount to the hitch. I bought the right plug and now have one I don’t need. Otherwise it’s easy t9 install and works just as it should.



by:
2022FordRanger

Great item and fast shipping!



by:
FordRanger

This is one of many orders I have placed with etrailer.com. I purchased this for my Ford Ranger. Perfect fit the first try. If you need trailering items for your truck, boat, Jeep, or motorhome this is the place to shop.



by:

For a vehicle specific harness, it’s way longer than it needs to be. There is an unterminated ground wire that’s like, why? Why not terminate that wire against weather? Also, no instructions as to even why it’s there or what to do with it. I hope I’m right in deducing it needed to go to chassis ground, that’s what the wiring diagram I found online indicated. At least the connectors are correct.

  • Parts Needed To Tow A 3,300lb Trailer With A 2024 Ford Ranger
    Hey John, The common consensus on capacity is that you should really only use 80-85% to give yourself a margin or error. At 3,300lbs you'd be at roughly 94% capacity so you still technically could but it's likely going to sag the rear suspension and be tough to pull. Even though Rangers are pretty well known for being overloaded and powering through I'd recommend adding in a bit of suspension enhancement or using a weight distribution hitch to help control the trailer and keep it tracking...

  • Will The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit With Larger Spare Tire On 2021 Ford Ranger Tremor?
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63ZR will fit your 2021 Ford Ranger Tremor. I have included an image sent in with a review showing the Curt # C13417 which is identical in construction to ours with the larger spare tire used on the Tremor. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56431 will provide you with a 7-way connector which you can mount using a Bracket # C67UR. If you need it to tow a smaller trailer you will need an Adapter # PK12716.

  • Best Way to Install 4-Way/7-Way Wiring Harness on a 2019 Ford Ranger
    Sounds like you've done a great job at installing the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR, and that you're on the right track when it comes to installing the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Plug # HM47180 on your 2019 Ford Ranger! To wrap up your installation I actually recommend picking up the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56431 and then removing the 7-Way plug and replacing it with the Hopkins 4-Way/7-Way since they both have the US CAR connector at the back.

  • What 7-Way Harness do You Recommend for My 2017 Ford Ranger?
    I did some research on the 2017 Ford Ranger. It looks like the United States did not start producing the Ranger here until 2019. Although, it looks like Australia did come out with a 2017 version. I just wanted to confirm that you are looking for a 2017 model. Thanks!

  • Can the HM40975 Be Used on a 2021 Ford Ranger?
    From all the info I could find, the 2020 Ranger and the 2021 Ranger both use the same stock bumper. With that being said, the 7 Way plug that is included with the Curt # C56431 can definitely be replaced with the 7 Way plug from the # HM40975.

  • Will The Curt Or etrailer Hitch Maximize My 2021 Ford Rangers Towing Capacity?
    You are not necessarily incorrect about your 2021 Ford Ranger being limited to 3,500 pounds, but there is a caveat to this. The 3,500 pound tow rated is only when you are using the bumper as a hitch. I included a picture showing what I mean by that as well. When using a conventional hitch, like the Curt # C13417 or etrailer # e63ZR, you are looking at a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. This means you also have 750 pounds of tongue weight and will indeed have a lot more options for...

    You will not have to turn off any safety systems on your 2021 Ford Ranger Lariat to be able to use the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR. I verified with your owners manual that there are no special steps required for towing with an electric brake controller.
