Great quality and just Walsh at o neede d!



by:

Replaced original cracked plastic plug (4 years old) that came with blue ox tow system. Love the strudy metal. Unfortunately, the diameter of the oepning for the plug is just a bit too large. Plug fully seats so that tab on underside of spring-loaded lid engages, but the weight of the coil cord back to motorhome tilts the plug down a few degrees (due to too-large opening). This position disengages the retaining tab on the outlet's lid, and vibrations can easily pop the plug out. I'm currently running with 3 zipties to hold the plug in firmly while I figure out a replacement. Not going to keep cutting zipties off at every stop. I'm surprised that no one else seems to have run into this problem.



by:

Fits perfect! New Toad, New baseplate, new factory plug-in lighting electrical harness but it came with a four pin plug incompatible with old jumper coil harness. Easy installation. I added 2 large washers under sheet metal screws used by BlueOx to attach and reinforce the mounting holes as some reviews had cracking around baseplate holes. Same type used on Prior Toad never had any issues but why not spread the load with larger washers.



by:

Excellent product. Well made and easy to install.



by:

Good quality trailer plug. I used this for the lighting connection on the tailgate of a stacker trailer (race car trailer) and it saw a lot of use over the past year. None of the pins have broken or bent, no connection issues at all. Very satisfied.



by:

I needed a conector that would be built to hold up to weekly use and this item did not disappoint. I installed it on my farm tractor and my fuel transfer tank to make refueling my tractor quick and easy. Found this to be a quality built connector at a good price and supper fast shipping.



by:

This is a well engineered and solidly built trailer socket. Made from sturdy cast metal and not from breakable plastic. I like the removable terminal block with barriers between the pins to prevent inadvertent shorts. Most importantly, the split terminals are made from brass so they will not corrode plus provide very good conductivity compared to steel. I’ve read the terminal block is replaceable, but haven’t seen a link as to where to buy one if that is ever needed.



by:

This product works perfect for our vehicles we pull our small trailer with. It allows us to also use it on our motorcycles and maintain a clean look instead of having a wire and plug hanging down. etrailer is punctual and efficient with customer care, answers to questions and delivery. Keep up the good work ET



by:

I purchased this part to replace an similar one from Roadmaster which has a plastic housing. The Roadmaster front car plug was part of a wiring kit. All wire connectors rusted heavily in less than a year making the plug unsafe to use aND can no longer be serviced. I live in North Florida, maybe the Roadmaster products should only be used in Arizona.
This new part will most likely rust similarly, so I will apply a heavy coating of liquid electrical tape. And hope for the best.



by:

Perfect replacement for existing connector. Easy to install, and solid when mounted.

All the reasons I keep buying from them.
Oh yea, the plug is just what I wanted



by:

Used this as a replacement and it worked very well. The wiring has been improved for ease of use. I would recommend this adapter



by:

I gave the poor rating for the same reason that I had to buy this socket to replace our original one. The pin that holds the lid and spring slides out and you lose the lid. The replacement when received already had the pin slid out past one side. This time I slid it back and put a dab of jb weld on each side to keep it in place.



by:

etrailer is an awesome place to do business with on items required to tow your vehicles behind a RV. My order was shipped immediately and very well packaged. I absolutely love the online instructions which simplify the installs. A+++++



by:

Could use a rubber seal under the front flap to clamp against to seal out the elements when not in use would be a bonus. A rubber reducer for different sizes of wire in back would help seal out the elements and prolong the life of the plug.

  • Trailer Taillights Do Not Work When Connected to 2001 Ford Van 6-Way Connector
    The white ground wire should attach to the pin on the vehicle 6-way connector that is located at the 2-oclock position. Please take a look at the photo provided; this is labelled to show to which pin the ground wire should attach. Since you have two white ground wires, it sounds like a second ground jumper wire has been added to provide a better ground connection. A ground jumper wire should connect on one end to the same spot on the frame as the main ground wire and the other end to another...

  • How To Bypass TIPM On Dodge Ram and Wire to 6/7-Way Trailer Connector
    The Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit part # 119178KIT is indeed what you need to bypass the TIPM on a Dodge Ram. It comes with a 4-way trailer connector molded on but you can cut this off and wire it into the back of the 6 or 7-way on the vehicle. If you need a new 6-way to attach the wires to, the Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket part # PK11609 has the easy to use screw-in terminals.

  • How to Make 7-way to 6-Way Adapter for Semi Truck to Gooseneck

You would need to start with a 7-way male connector part # PK11893 to plug into your semi truck. For wiring you would then want the part # DW04914-1 sold by the foot.

  • Is There a Reverse Wire on 6-Way Connector
    As you can see by the accompanying diagram I added, a 6-way such as the Pollak # PK11609 does not have a function for reverse lights; that function is on a 7-way so you would not connect the wire you referenced to your trailer connector. A 6-way has the following functions: 1) Tail/Running Lights 2) Left Turn/Stop 3) Right Turn/Stop 4) Brake Controller Output 5) 12V Power 6) Ground. I have also added a link to a help article on wiring I highly recommend checking out.

  • Solution for Gooseneck Trailer Brakes that Lock Up When Connected to Tow Vehicle
    If your trailer has a 6-way connector like a lot of gooseneck trailers do the issue is that the 12 volt power and brake output circuits are sometimes swapped since some people wire them both ways. The solution is to swap the two circuits if you find yourself in a situation where the brakes lock when a trailer is connected. On a 6-way the circuits are the pins in the center and 10:00 facing opening of socket on tow vehicle.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Lights not Working with a 4-Way to 6-Way Adapter on a 2005 Toyota Tacoma
    Before attempting to install a new 6-way connector, I would recommend using a circuit tester, # PTW2993, to test the connectors on your 2005 Toyota Tacoma and on the trailer that you are using to see if something is not wired correctly. When you have the adapter connected to your 4-flat connector, test each pin for proper function. I would also recommend testing each pin on your 4-flat connector as well, just so we can determine if the problem is on your 4-flat connector, the adapter, or...

    Hi Sergey; it sounds like you have a 7-pole round on your tractor and then either a 6-pole round or 7-way blade on the trailer. The # 119178 you ordered will combine your brake light and turn signals so that is a good start. Since there are no adapters available as is you will have to make one just like in the other question you looked at. You will need the # PK11700, # DW04914-1, and then # PK11893 (if the trailer has a 7-way blade) or # PK11609 (if the trailer has a 6-pole round). You...
