Today we're going to review part number 30955. This is the Hopkins Replacement Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connectors for the Ford, GM, Dodge vehicles with the factory 7-way. This is a custom-fit application. It applies to about 30 different vehicle applications that are equipped with a factory 7-way tow package. What I would recommend is to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year/model/vehicle and it will show if this will work for your application. This is a multi-tow connector, provides multiple towing options from the one connector. Again, provides the 7-way RV blade, the 4-way flat connector.
It is very easy to install. It's simple to plug in. There's no cutting, splicing of wire; save a lot of time. Plugs into the OEM connector. It helps create an exact fit and it gives you a maximum weather-proofing.
It's made of a durable plastic housing. It's very impact and corrosion-resistant. Again, it does include the dust covers. You can see the hinged cap over the 7-way to protect it and also the dust cover over the 4-way. It does come with the mounting bracket and the hardware to install the bracket to the connector and the hardware to install the bracket to the vehicle. This measures about 10-1/2" from the back here to the very end.
Basically, when you go to install this, what you'll do is go on to your vehicle. Different vehicles, this would be on just for an occasion; usually they're around the spare tire or on the driver side. You'll find a connector that probably has a plug just like this in it. It'll match, just pull that plug out of the factory, plug this into it. Go back to the back of the vehicle, take your mounting bracket.
Actually, probably before you plug it in you want to slide this over and then go ahead and plug this into the connector. Then just slide this up to the 4 holes lineup. Use the nuts and bolts to attach that. Then you have 2 holes up here. Use this bag to attach it to the vehicle. Very quick and easy installation. That should do it for the review on part number 30955. This is the Hopkins replacement multi-tow 7-way and also gives you a 4-way trailer connector here for the Ford, GM, Dodge vehicles with the factory 7-way. .

Cathy T. was very good help. She set me up with the correct parts for our 2001 Chevy so we can have a 7 prong plug in at the bumper and in the box. We got rid of the cobbled up mess that started giving us trouble and now everything works great. The plug and play took me about 1 1/2 hours to complete. We will do business again if needed. Thanks again Cathy T. and etrailer! 676879
Just installed, took 15 minutes. 5 minutes getting tools & two self tap screws out of shop. Very good pro 576747
I bought this 7 way trailer connector to replace a broken one on my 2006 Chevy 2500HD. It was an easy install and only took a few minutes to complete. I tested it with my trailer connected and all works fine. The shipping was super fast. Thanks , etrailer. 454561
Nice replacement for factory plug. Did not use hardware supplied for installing bracket. Self tappers worked much better for me. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. 564276
I installed this today. Took around 90 minutes but part of that was learning how to get the spare out of the way. I drilled two holes in the bottom of the bumper because of where I wanted the connector to be placed. All necessary hardware came with the unit. This was very easy to do after watching etrailer's How To video. Good job guys, great product. 396795
I bought this style of Electrical Hitch tail light hook up by mistake, this one comes with a bracket and you can mount it in many places using the bracket. My Chevy Silverado has a twist on flange opening which takes a different style model. Returns you pay for shipping, which is not a big deal, but Just make sure when you plan to purchase an item that you buy what you need for your vehicle, etrailer has many models that can go with your vehicle, I just got in a rush, I ordered the correct model item with flange and will be returning this style but everything about this style is good so I rated it 5 stars. 505872

Installed on my 2006 Chevy Silverado in anticipation of getting a camping trailer with brakes. So, currently I can't test the break wiring at this time, but the 4 way plug works fine with my existing trailer. 883438
I've purchased 2 of these in less then a year and on both the cap for the 7 pin connector broke off !! I don't horse it open or anything else. Now I'm looking for a different one to install.
