Hey, guys. It's Jake here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Hopkins 7 and 4-pole trailer connector. Today, we have a 2023 Nissan Titan, and this vehicle's actually equipped with the factory US car connector. It is tucked up right behind this bumper. If you reach back up in there, you can see it.
You can find it. And if you look right under here, you'll see I've got it pulled out. This is what is designed to connect to the 4 and 7-way plug. Now, there's two ways that you can connect this. One way is with the bracket that comes with the kit.
It'll just install like this, and you can, it clips into place and you can mount it up underneath your bumper like so if you want your connector to be down by your hitch. The Nissan Titan is actually equipped with this same shaped hole right behind this plastic bumper. We'll show you a quick clip of it back here, but if I feel up behind there, I can feel the exact indentation of this hole, which this plug is designed to fit. So, I would highly recommend and definitely what I would do is just trim that out from the back side, and then you can take this plug, connect it right into place and then plug your US car connector that comes from the factory directly into the back of it. Otherwise, if you don't and you want to use this bracket to mount it down here for a less invasive installation, you will have to get an extender or extend your wires on your US car connector 'cause we tried it a couple of different ways, and it will not mount very easily down here.
So, again, it's a cleaner installation if you install it up here and it'll give it a much more factory look. Most vehicles come with them up there. That's probably why that plug is back there, but it's really up to you however you want to install. Now, you can see this bracket back here. It is kind of coincides with the license plate bracket, but you can see the fitment is the same as that bracket that comes with our 7 and 4-pole.
It's much easier just to cut this out, cut the plastic out from this backside and then insert your plug from the front and you should be all good to go. You can see here what we're talking about. This plug is not quite long enough to reach out and to plug into the connector up under the bumper, but right here, it would fit perfect. Now, there's gonna be two different ways you can get this kit. You can get it with just the plug and the bracket, which is what we would need for this vehicle. If your vehicle does not have the factory relays, you will need to get the plug, the bracket and the three relays in order to get the 7-pole functions back to the back of the vehicle. We'll show you which relays they are so you can check whether or not you have the correct relays. The relays we're looking for are going to be your trailer tow, your trailer turn left hand, and your trailer turn right hand. That is going to be this brown fuse, this blue fuse and this blue fuse. As you can see, in the kit, we get a brown fuse and two blue fuses. But for our vehicle, we already have those. If you pop the hood of your vehicle, look in this panel, it's right next to the battery. Pop this lid off. If you have those three relays, just pick up the 7 and 4-pole plug and you're good to go. Plug it in and you can start towing a trailer. Well guys, hopefully this video helped you decide whether or not the Hopkins 7 and 4-pole connector is right for you and which kit is right for your 2023 Nissan Titan.

Excellent products! everything fits & works great.Thanks!
high quality. just what I wanted. easy to install. speedy delivery. Very happy with quality and delivery time.
Great price, great product, and was updated along the way... look forward to the next purchase
7/4way went on real easy. Did not need the fuses because my Infiniti already had them.
I ordered a hitch and trailer wiring and the service was great, received my items in a timely manner and everything was correct . I still need a trailer brake which I will be ordering soon.
High quality product and easy to install. Would but products from this company again.
Recieved the trailer electrical stuff just fine. The best kit in the industry.
Thanks
Excellent product and excellent service. I would recommend etrailer.com anytime. I like that delivery was very prompt.
Customer Service was exceptional - product was usable right out of the package- follow-up and communication was surprisingly pleasant – I would order from etrailer.com again
I placed my order for a trailer conversion kit for my 2006 Nissan Titan. It came in a day ahead of the scheduled delivery date, I installed every thing and it worked like a charm. Thanks etrailer.com!!!!!!!!!
Great product, but for the 2006 Nissan Armada, you need another blue relay to install under the steering column to the left. you have to remove the lower dash to be able to see it. There is a relay plug there that you need to put in a blue relay to make the running lights work.
Etrailer never disappoints. Item arrived in just a few days... shipping was lightning fast. Product installed on my Titan with no modifications needed. Thanks Etrailer!
Great product. It is exactly what I was looking for and it was Shipped quickly. 2008 Nissan Armada
Easy to install on my 2010 Nissan Titan. All I had to do was plug it into the factory wiring. The only problem I ran into was there is a third relay that needs to be installed for this to work properly. Without it all of the trailer lights worked except for the running lights. I took my truck into a Nissan dealer and they added the relay, somewhere under the dash.
Excellent customer service. Quick shipping. Easy installation. The video was clear and helpful. Could not ask for more from etrailer. Will order from them again.
Product worked great had no power to the left turn signal after doing some research online found [online] video where there’s two hidden fuses near the steering column wiring harness and one head blown due to prior towing…. Supposedly only applies to 2004 2005 Nissan titans 2006 and later according to forums Nissan fixed it and put additional fuses and relays in the fuse block under the hood
Quick and easy install.
Fast shipping and great communication
The product was everything I needed minus an extra blue relay which I did not realize needed to be ordered additionally. I should have read the comments section of others who had ordered this and would have known ahead of time. I ordered the extra blue relay and once it arrives everything will be complete.
The installation was straight forward. Drilled some pilot holes for the bracket unto the bottom of the hitch cross bar. Used the supplied self tapping screws to mount the plate. Popped in the 7/4-Way Flat Vehicle End Trailer Connector, plugged the factory installed trailering plug into this, and the relays under the hood fuse box (marked by factory) and all worked perfectly. Need the extra blue relay for the under dash trailer wiring connection for driving lights to work on trailer. It is to the left of the steering column, mounted on a metal support bracket behind the plastic knee protector area. This same area is where you would plug in the e-brake connection if you wanted to add that.
Hope this helps.
Although I have not installed it yet, it looks to be of good quality. As far as I can tell i think I will be able to mount it in the factory oem location in the bumper. Nissan doesn't sell the trailer plug separately from the factory hitch so this saved me lots of cash.

After having it on the truck for a year, its still working great. No issues.
Amazing wiring harness! Use my 6x12 utility trailer weekly, no problems at all. Installed in about 10 minutes. Will buy again!
