Tow a trailer with either a 7-way or 4-way plug with this dual vehicle-end connector. Included pigtail harness hardwires into your vehicle and the connector end mates with the 7-pole socket to form a weathertight seal.The wiring harness was not color coded and not plug and play. One of the biggest piece of crap I ever purchased. Customer service was nope help, passing me off to tech support, who told me how to cut and splice the wiring harness. Not an acceptable solution. I went and bought from another company and had it installed correctly in a matter of minutes. I will never purchase from etraler again...ever

Greg - 07/22/2019The service provided by George and Lacey was the best part of this transaction. Lacey helped me find the right parts and sent me a video about installation. They both worked to correct my order and customized the delivery date. The parts were precisely what I needed to get power to the bumper for a small trailer and bike rack. A few comments: order more butt connectors as the mfr sent 6 and there were seven wires on my Colorado. When connecting the tail harness to the truck harness, be sure all the wires on each side are the same length. The yellow wire strippers take some getting used to, so practice on several wires first. I’m an ‘average’ handy person so these last two suggestions didn’t come naturally to me, but overall this was a pretty simple installation. When I tested it and all the lights worked, I was a happy camper.
no wire connectors and the yellow wire was wired to the center pin. This is of course not correct. had to wire not based on color but based on pin location.
Jenny N - 11/03/2021This is a fantastic quality part and an excellent alternative to Ford's OE connector (the difference being this one is far less expensive and does not have the Ford emblem. I used the connector to replace the 7-Pin/4-Pin combination plug on my 2002 Ford Super Duty after swapping the bed/bumper/tailgate from a 2012 Super Duty. It is a vastly superior connector in that the 4-Pin is integrally wired with the 7-Pin as opposed to having the 4-Pin spliced into the harness. I would definitely recommend this part for any towing rig. I eve put one on my father's 1995 Dodge Ram 2500. Don't hesitate to order this one!
I have a 2017 SantaFe I have 2 different trailers and need both types of plugs I am using this product along with a curt class III hitch and a curt 56332 wiring harness. I want the finished outlet to be behind the factory cover I had to modify the Hopkins bracket by bending it in the opposite direction on a angle because the hitch is in the way .a little effort and its great jeff
Great product! Fits the factory hole in the bumper perfectly. Attaching the wires was a pain but that was due to GM saving $1 by just cutting the wire ends and not installing a plug......but they were all there so that was a plus. If you do install this setup AND you install a hitch, leave the spare tire down while you attach the wires. There's plenty of wire with the plug but the factory wires are up kinda close to the underside of the bed so not a lotta room. ALSO spend the extra couple dollars and get the heat shrink butt connectors, they're available here in whatever size you need. Another thing to think about, if you plan on eventually installing bed/ cargo lights any time soon, now is the time to add that extra power wire before you crimp, shrink, and tape the hot wire......
Bought this trailer connector to use instead of the flat 4 wire connector. Wanted a nice finished look on the rear of the vehicle without any hanging wires. Mounts to the Draw Tite mounting bracket without any modification. Only minor problem I had was with the wiring. The wire colors are not the same between the 4 and 7 pole connector. A call to etrailer got the problem resolved. Great customer service!
This is a great affordable option to replace your worn out or damaged OEM trailer recepticle. The fit is perfect. It is made by Pollak which is the same as the Ford one you replace. I damaged mine and took the pin connectors out of new housing and installed it on my F350 without splicing wires. Worked perfectly.
The wiring worked as advertised. Installation went smoothly. Testing was a slight problem, because I couldn’t sense any voltage changes in the wiring, had to connect to the trailer and test the old fashioned way. Moved the Chevy connector to the bed because of the video connections and installed the Hopkins in the bumper. Had to trim the bed liner to make the Chevy connector fit, but I expected that.
The trailer plug went bad on my 92 F150 several years ago. This plug is the same as my 10 F350. I like the combination 7 spade/4 pin. Other combos have a rubber flap to cover the 4 pin plug. I doubt I’m that disciplined and I would think that rubber cover would dry rot and break off. This plug has spring closure doors and looks great!
Easy installation! Kit only supplied 6 connectors when there were 7 wires ...... oops!

Still working great at the 1 year mark. No issues. I did heat shrink all the connectors.
This is the same look as a factory install. I was greatly pleased with the overall installation. Super easy to wire up and looks great in the bumper. My truck has the clean factory look for way less than what they had quoted for an install.
Mike L - 07/17/2019Only gripe, the plug wiring on the back is at a 45° and the plug in on the front is at a 90°, so dont wire up the wires by the wiring plug but how the plug in on the front would plug in, I made the mistake, but other than that, works great, looks great, fixes botched wiring like my truck had with just twisted together and taped up wires, easy install
Fit and finish was excellent, instructions were easy to follow.
Love the etrailer videos. I will be a returning customer simply based on the videos!
Nice wiring harness for an older model vehicle. Not appropriate for 2007 Lincoln MKX.
Instructions were easy to follow. Recommend using heat shrink tubing, I can’t remember if the kit comes with it or not.
I’m glad I chose this over a single plug! No matter what you have on the hitch, you’ll have the plug for it. The pigtail is plenty long enough and the bracket makes for a simple installation. Get some shrink tube or shrink wrap butt connectors as the ones included aren’t going to keep weather out for long.
Works well with the trailer hitch and the price was just right.
Easy to hook up I can wrench a little but even the simplest wiring jobs sometimes leave me dumbfounded and I wired this up and all lights work and the windshield wipers don’t even come on when I use turn signals
excellent instructions for instlllation and no problems on the road
Easy install and fast delivery. just what I needed. My go to place for RV and Trailer parts
Perfect connector for what I was looking for on my 2019 RAV4. I originally installed it with the L bracket, but later changed it to be flush in the bumper. Looks very clean. The prefab pigtail made install into the car very easy as well.
