Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located at the rear of your vehicle, slightly toward the driver's side.


Once installation is complete, the connectors will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket is included to keep the connectors secure.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 7-pole and 4-pole connectors - to help prevent corrosion.


Vehicle Wiring

Note:Refer to the diagram above to determine if this harness will fit your application. The plugs on your vehicle must have 3 terminals on one side and 4 on the other. If your vehicle has 2 terminals on one side and 5 on the other, you will need wiring harness HM11143395 instead.

The wiring harness fit perfectly, after discussing my application with customer service to make sure. Solved my problem

After damaging my existing 7-way connector on my 2006 Tundra I decided to take on the task of replacing myself. After some reviews I chose the Hopkins 7-way with 4-way connector. Super easy install as it was just plug and go. One needs to make sure of your current wiring especially on the 3 wires (12-v, electric brake, backup). One minor inconvenience was that I had to drill out the holes in the bracket which connects to the bumper. Not a big deal. Excellent product and look and the added 4-way is a nice bonus. Will definitely recommend the product and etrailer.

2006ToyotaTundra

This is a perfect replacement for the stock Toyota 2006 Tundra, it is higher quality than the original, and at a fraction of Toyota's price. Replacing the old part was trivial. Etrailer's service was exceptional: it was shipped within hours, I received tracking information promptly, and the shipping cost was very modest.



by:

Great product and fit!!! Needed to drill new holes for mounting bracket, but easy enough to do. After that was done, everything went perfect. Simple plug in connection on truck if you have factory towing package. I had done in about 30 mins.

Great company to deal with. Easy to navigate website for technophobes like me, prices are great, lighting fast shipping and part fit perfectly! No issues! Thank you!

Nice product. Fast shipping. Plug looks like a factory OEM part. Installation was super easy.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND



by:

Works great, easy to install . The only complaint is the mounting bracket it is cheaply made and the mounting screws were not long enough for installing on the rear step bumper. Used original screws to make it work.

My original connector was damaged. I was looking for a replacement at a good price - Toyota wants $300 for this part.

I love that etrailer was a good price, but especially like how they have pictures that are different than the stock photos other online retailers use. I was able to see that the bracket was included in this - no need to buy anything else.

The price here was fantastic, not only did it beat [the other online retailers], but it was one of the least expensive around.

After placing my product I was notified quickly that it shipped - and I even got tracking information. My recent purchases online seem to think that extra step isn't necessary - and only give me info if I asked for it.

The product installation was easy. Several reviewers said I'd need to make the holes in the brackets larger. Yes, I needed to. I just got my drill out and used a slightly larger diameter bit to widen the holes. I then used the OEM holes and bolts. It fits well, plugged in just fine. It looks solid and has weather resistant covers for the two plugs. It's also super that both plug types are included - I no longer need that bulky 4->7 wire plug adapter.

Great product, easy installation, great price, perfect shipping! Thank you etrailer!

The trailer harness is working very well. I just used it last month for towing a car home. I like the fact that it’s a single connection and stays closed and out of the weather. I appreciate you following up with me. I’m glad I did business with you.



by:

This is absolutely a great product at a fair price. In fact, it is better than the OEM in that it has the 4 - wire adapter on the side, so no need to carry the plug in adapter when pulling a smaller trailer without brakes. Installed in minutes with the factory connectors. Been using it for a year now and happy with it.

The harness has worked very well for me! Happy to say I dont have to worry about it... was very well made and performs its job without any trouble. Thanks for marketing a fine product.



by:
2006ToyotaTundra

My 2006 Tundra’s factory harness kicked the bucket so this seemed like a great alternative. Installation was the exact reverse of removal of the OEM harness. I did have to drill out the mounting holes a bit to match the original bolts on the truck, but that only took a couple minutes. The separate 4-pin is very convenient and keeps me from needing an adapter. It’s not quite the factory look, but still very neat and clean (maybe it’s just because the rest of the truck isn’t as new and shiny anymore). Overall I’m very happy with the connector!

Connector is still working perfectly. I trailer about every two weeks and just hit it with some grease now and again to keep the connection clean.

by:
2010 ToyotaTundra

Mounted on my 2003 tundra as a direct replacement for the original receptacle. plugs snap in to the harness as good as they would be expected. The bracket has drill holes in the correct place, just needed to be drilled out to fit the oem bolts. It comes with smaller screws to replace the bolt hardware, if your threads are stripped out. took me 30 minutes to install, I reused the old plastic snap on pieces. If I didn't you could do the job in 10 minutes.

I tried replacing this piece on my 2003 Toyota Tundra. Local dealers didn't have what I needed. In checking with etrailer I found the part and a great description with pictures to make sure it fit my application. Upon arriving the part was exactly what I needed and exactly as described on etrialer site.
The product is of much higher quality than what came on the vehicle from the factory too. Great job guys!!

it worked great until the ground pin broke on the 4 wire connector.

Item fit exactly, except the mounting bracket holes had to be made larger to mount in the same holes. A couple of zip ties would have been helpful. Over all it seemed to be a good purchase.

  • Availability of Replacement 7-Way for 2005 Toyota Tundra
    Hey Phillip, we have a replacement 7-way for your 2005 Toyota Tundra with the Hopkins part # HM43385. This has a 4-way off to the side of it as well but can be used with 7-way adapters as well.

  • Does Hopkins Make a 7 Way that Only Has One Connector for 2006 Toyota Tundra?
    Hello Dan, The only Hopkins wiring I see for the 2006 Toyota Tundra is the one you were looking at—the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Flat Connectors # HM43385 —which, as you noticed, has two connectors. Did you install the original wiring on the truck? It’s possible that only the connector for the trailer lights was installed if the previous owner didn't need a brake controller for their trailer. I’ve attached a picture of the connectors...

  • Installation of Trailer Wire Harness Extension to Fit Aftermarket Bumper and Factory Connectors
    It sounds like you already have the factory 7-way on your truck and just need a short extension. There is not a basic extension available without the 7-way, so I recommend the Reese Multi-Plug Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connectors # 74682. This should give you the short extension needed for your aftermarket bumper. If you have a longer connection need, then I recommend the Pollak 5th wheel and goosenesk trailer connection # PK11932 which will...

  • Replacement 7-Way Trailer Socket for 2006 Toyota Tundra
    If your 2006 Toyota Tundra had a factory-installed 7-way trailer socket that needs replacement I recommend the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM43385. This plugs in to the factory wiring using two connectors; the mating connectors on the Hopkins part are shown in the linked photo. If your truck instead happens to have a round U.S. Car Connector at the rear bumper then I suggest instead Pollak part # PK11893 which will plug in to that connector.

  • Will Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM43385 Replace Factory Toyota 7-Way
    If you have a 2003-2006 Toyota Tundra the 7-way wiring harness part # HM43385 that you referenced would essentially be the exact same thing as going with the Toyota brand connector. Most likely the Toyota connector does not have the 4-way option that comes with this as well. This will most likely be less expensive too.

    We do have a replacement 7-way and 4-way trailer connector for the 2007 Toyota Tundra, but before we can determine which harness will work for your truck, we will need to know what type of plugs your trucks tow package wiring requires and how the connectors are wired. Unfortunately, Toyota decided to wire this truck a number of different ways. The Tundra had a generation change between 2006 and 2007 and this caused some discrepancies in the wiring.

  • Replacement Trailer Hitch for 2006 Toyota Tundra w/ Factory Hitch
    The 2006 Tundra could have been equipped with the 'Factory' hitch two different ways. If it was a dealer installed option, it would simply bolt to the frame members but if it arrived from the factory with the hitch, the hitch is tied into the bumper mounting brackets and the bumper would need to be replaced to remove the existing hitch. Since you've already replaced the bumper, you'll be able to install the # 13184, which Curt has confirmed for me. For a wiring harness, you'll need #...

  • Replacement Hopkins 7 and 4-Way for 2006 Toyota Tundra
    There isn't a replacement housing for the # HM43385 that you have so you'll have to replace the entire thing since yours has been damaged. It's easier than you'd think to break them while backing up for sure since they typically hang down lower than the bumper. For a backup camera you can use the purple wire of this adapter as that carries the reverse light circuit.

    I have included a picture for you that will help. On your 2004 Toyota Tundra, find the connector under the truck that # HM43385 would plug into. Then use a circuit tester, # PTW2993 if you do not have one, to test the pins on the 3-pin part. The pins should be a mirror opposite of what you see in the picture. If they are not you would need to use # 20137 instead. The wiring harness part of either of these connectors should be plenty long enough to mount the connector where you need to....

    The correct replacement 7-way for your Tundra should be part # HM43385. You can confirm this by examining the connectors under the truck that the connector would plug into. One connector should accept 4 pins, the other three pins. If your connectors are different, with one accepting 4 pins and the other 2 pins, you would need # HM11143395. The HM43385 fits 2003-2007 Tundra models, according to Hopkins. It is important that you check the existing connectors to ensure you get the correct...

  • Using Hopkins # HM43385 or Tow Ready # 20137 Replacement 7-Way Connector on 2006 Toyota Tundra
    There is a difference between the Tow Ready # 20137 and the Hopkins # HM43385. Each trailer connector uses two plugs that insert into the factory connections, but the 3 pin plug on each is wired DIFFERENTLY. For some unknown reason, Toyota wired the plugs differently on some vehicles. If you look at the photo I've edited for you, you can see the difference. The replacement 7-way you use will depend on how your 3-pin plug on your Tundra is wired. Use a circuit tester like # 40376, and...

    Yes, you are correct that you can snip off the connectors of the Hopkins # HM43385 and hardwire them to the wiring on your 2010 Toyota Tacoma with factory 7-way connector. You will want to make sure that you match up the wires by function to prevent any issues. To make these connections, I recommend using heat shrink butt connectors like 12 # DW05745-5 and 16 # 05731-5 and then wrapping them up with electrical tape to prevent any dirt or moisture from being able to get into the connections....
