The website is miss leading. This part does not fit my truck. If you put in your vehicle and use the main search bar, it searches all vehicles and misleads you to think the part that comes up will work. I even paid over night shipping and etrailer could care less. Still charged me $15.00 to return plus I was out the overnight shipping. Will look to other vendors for future parts.

The easiest wiring I have ever experienced. Great product

Installation was very simple and quick. Although after the connection was in place my left turn light and brake light did not come on. We are working to get that connected now. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Pete, I want to help troubleshoot with you and I have a question to ask. Does your Wranger have a tow package? On Wrangers with tow packages there are two identical connectors on the drivers side. You will want to make sure that you install the harness to the connector on the back side of the tail light. If this is not the issue, please let me know.

@JennyN Thank you for the advice. I was able to find the problem. Connection at the front was broken and replaced it with a new receptacle. All is working now. This is a Willy model and has no tow package. Thanks again Pete M.

I was told by etrailer that this kit included a 4 wire connector from the toad to the coach; it does not. Otherwise it was well made and easy to install.



by:
2019 Jeep Wrangler

The wiring harness worked perfectly for the 2022 Jeep Gladiator Sport, and plugged right into the Brakebuddy Stealth harness at the front connectors. The wire harness was run the length of the vehicle through the inside of the frame, fully protecting it and making for a clean installation. Watching a couple of videos on installing these helped a lot.

etrailer products have always been a "Go to" for me. Between my jeep, RV, and boats that I've owned, etrailer has never disappointed! The wiring kit and base plate I ordered was received ahead of estimated shipping date. Everything was accounted for and packaged well! I still have yet to install the items, but doubt I will have issues as detailed instructions were provided. I would recommend etrailer to anyone!

No brainer to install and works perfectly on each tow hookup.

It's the perfect choice for when u don't want to splice into ur vehicles wiring. I installed it on a 22 jeep wrangler and it was fairly easy, the tricky part fishing the wires thru the frame. Overall a great product



by:
2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Really liked not having to splice into any of the factory wiring, just clipped right into the factory plugs. I also added a plug-and-play trailer hitch wiring harness and both played together nicely. No double-sided tape was included so I zip-tied everything to the fuel filler neck behind the light. Plenty of room.

I spent a lot of time routing the wires to hide them and look nice. I covered everything in plastic wire loom and ran them up the drivers frame rail, up over the wheel well tied to existing wiring on the fender, then back down to the front of the jeep. I changed the plug from the flat 4 to a round 6 plug.

I believe the installation could take you 2 hours or 6 hours depending on how much effort you put into the wire routing. Everything just worked in the end.



by:

Never having to flat tow a vehicle presented a problem for me to get it set up properly. I was thoughtfully guided through the purchase of the tow hitch, wiring, tow bar connection and safety required in installation. Great service!



by:
Jeep Wrangler

Very easy to install! It is literally plug and play. Depending on how detailed you want to get with routing your wiring dictates the level of complication on the product. The 2020 Wrangler tail lights are easy to remove and plugging in the wires from the kit is self explanatory. The converter box that comes in the kit does not have two sided tape on it as the instructions say. There are two tabs on either side of the box that allow you to zip-tie it. Not many options for that on the 2020 Wrangler so I zip tied it onto the filler neck for the fuel tank.

I wanted a clean install from the tail light housing to the front of the Jeep so I spent a good amount of time threading the wires across frame rails in the back and down frame itself using split tubing so that no wires were hanging down or noticeable. This took considerably more time than the installation of the kit itself. If I would have been satisfied just running the wires along the frame without consideration for a clean install, it would have been ready to tow in less than an hour.

I highly recommend this kit over the some of the others that require diodes or switches to toggle between tow and no tow mode.

EVERY ORDER HAS BEEN ON TIME AND PERFECT FIT FOR THE APPLICATION. CAROL ID EXCELLENT TO DEAL WITH ON PHONE.

2023 Jeep Wrangler

I’ve used a similar Hopkins kit in the past and after purchasing a new Jeep Wrangler I looked to etrailer to get the proper Hopkins kit. I’ll be installing this light kit myself as I did on my old Jeep. Jeep makes it so easy on the new Wranglers with plugs in the firewall and access to the taillights.
Thanks etrailer!



by:

First off let me say this is not my first order from etrailer. Previous orders have been very smooth with timely delivery and quality product with excellent customer service from available Technicians to help out with issues pertaining to installation. This current order arrived with the major component missing (baseplate). etrailer has stepped up and is currently doing battle with UPS. Thanks to Nicole R. for all of your attention to this matter. I will continue to do business with this upstanding company in the future. Merry Christmas!



by:

Was supposed to be a plug and play kit. Was the wrong type of plug for the year and model purchased. Was supposed to leave on a trip in a few days after it arrived and tried to make it work but it didn’t work at all. Very disappointed

What vehicle do you have? The harness is a fit for a 2020-2022 Jeep Gladiator.



by:

Take your time routing wires. Taking bumper off make it easier touring wires in back for taillights. Go over fender rail and run wires thru frame using a fish tape up to engine compartment. Love the plug and play for this set. No splicing into factory wiring.



by:

I like the ease of installation. Just wish it included the round electrical connector that the blue ox toe vehical has.the video i saw and instructions together made it an easy do it yourself install.



by:

I think that Blue Ox and/or etrailer has/have done an excellent job of down sizing and simplifying this kit. Hopefully, idiot proof.

  • Will Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Fit 2014 Smart fortwo
    Hello Joysson; the # BLU79FR is designed to fit a Jeep Wrangler, it will not fit your 2014 Smart fortwo. For tow bar wiring I recommend the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267. You will also need the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System # RM-766.

You will also need a Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BLU79FR to keep your lights on your Yaris in sync with your tow vehicle.

You might need to cut the zip-ties in order to work everything into place. Options 2: You can remove the dinghy wire harness # BLU79FR and installed...

The Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BLU79FR you referenced would also be a fit for your Jeep but I recommend cutting off the 4-pole connector and wiring this kit into a 6-pole socket and 7-way cable kit like part # RM-146-7.

  • Does The Blue Ox Plug-In Tow Bar Wiring Kit Fit A 2020 Buick Envision
    The Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BLU79FR is designed for use on select Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models and Blue Ox unfortunately does not currently have a plug-in harness for your Envision so you would need to use a splice-in diode kit. For this I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. You'll also need to remove fuse 29 - BCM1 and fuse 32 - BCM2 in order to flat tow the vehicle. I recommend picking up the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass...

    There unfortunately is not a plug-in style diode kit available for your 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk so you'll have to either use magnetic lights or a splice-in diode kit. For magnetic lights you can use the Tow Ready Magnetic Tow Lights # 73864. For a splice-in diode kit you can use the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267, unless you have ParkSense Proximity Sensors in which case you'll need Smart Diodes # RM63MR instead.

    For your 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave you'd want the Roadmaster Diode Kit part # RM-15247 which allows your tow vehicle to control the taillights of the Jeep. Since this is a diode kit that means it installs by splicing into the taillight circuits and comes with a coiled adapter to go from the front of your vehicle to the rear of the motorhome.
