Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting or splicing required.
Features:
Specs:
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area on the driver's side. You will have to remove the cargo strap and some interior paneling to access this harness.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.

Installs easy, directions are helpfull but are made to cater to all trim styles so the step by step do verey a little depending on year and trim.
Simple to install and worked with no problems. I towed a trailer 300 miles the day after the installation.
Best part was that the item was quickly delivered to allow for me to help out a family member in moving.
This is an excellent product that is every bit as good as the Jeep OEM part. Installation was a breeze and the directions were spot-on. I am glad I did some research before purchasing anything. This product is everything I expected and then some. Yes, it is THAT good.
The service by E-Trailer staff is unsurpassed. I had several questions prior to purchase and they were all answered quickly and succinctly. Also my Jeep Liberty didn't "fit the description" of how to access the connection behind the passenger side rear panel; but they didn't pass it off, still tried to assist even though my vehicle was different (in case others run into this: my Liberty had no cargo bracket to remove; just take off the weatherstripping, and pry the panel off towards the center of cargo area). Job was very easy and had my wiring done in about 40 minutes. Longest part of job was being sure I kept wire away from exhaust, but it was no problem. I will definitely recommend and use E-Trailer again, Thanks
Installation it was real easy. The hardest part was trying to find out where the harness plugs in at ( in the interior panel behind the passenger tail light),over an hour trying to Google the exact correct words to get the information I needed. It only took 15 minutes to install after that. I wish that the harness had come with even just a note of where the harness plug in was located hence only 4 stars. I can't figure out how to give 4 1/2 stars. Great product real quick delivery reasonabley priced and would do business with them again.
Every part of this transaction was great.Quick delivery and easy installation
Super easy to install. Perfect fit and length of wire to the hitch.
George was a great help. Got me to right part and installation went well.
Simple Installation, No modifications needed. Note: On the Jeep Liberty the floor plug for the wire run is above the tailpipe. Secure the wiring far away from the tailpipe.
The wiring kit was easy to use. Installation was easy, the car was bit harder to work with. :)
Quick shipping
Easy install

Many Thanks
Purchased for 2006 Jeep Liberty. Installation was a snap. I pull my utility trailer alot and this unit has been trouble free. In the old days I would cut into my vehicle wire harness to add a trailer connection. Not anymore! This Hopkins adaptor is deffinetly the way to go.
Recieved the hitch and writing promptly. Wiring was easy to install and works like a charm. Wish it came with some mounts for clamping it up as you pretty much have to depend on zip ties and all the vehicles structure. Took about 20-30 min to install and maybe an hour for non-mechanics.
Hitch took about half hour to install and works great. Very rugged. Was able to handle a small wreck while towing with no evidence of cracking.
Pretty straight forward installation on my 07 Liberty. The hardest part was getting to the right plug in, as on my vehicle there was little slack wire, but it wasn't brain surgery.
Follow the directions, which were pretty good, and you'll be wired up in half an hour, and 25 minutes of that time is removing the plastic trim panels and re-installing them. Next vehicle I need to set up for trailering, I'll be checking etrailer first to see if a ready to go system is available.
2 months of frustration in trying to wire it stopped right here!
This product works. We replaced the exact same brand/harness that we had previously installed years ago. It had quit working. We assume it was the wires at the plug that had broken as they are not protected. I would recommend buying the optional bracket to permanently install this on the hitch or at minimum use some electric tape and maybe plastic to protect the wires better.
But still a good harness. I used some dielectric grease on all connection points. It comes with a small packet. U may want to buy some extra.
Very easy to set up and start towing. Much happier that I decided to buy the kit rather than buying the trailer plug and trying to wire it into the vehicle wiring myself.
The instructiosn did not match my car, there was no way to get to the plug from the inside, so I had to take off the whole inside panel off. The yellow slide switch on the plug did not release the plug lock, I figured out with a flat head screw driver stuck in-between releases the lock. Them to top it off, after everything was assembled, the trailer lights did not work!!!! I hope your customer service is up for a challenge.

The hopkins wiring kit was installed on our jeep liberty and has performed flawlessly since. I tow both a boat trailer and often pull a utility trailer, so it has been used quite a bit. And, it says alot about your company that you take time a year later to follow up with your customers!
