Great fit! I didn't like the mounting screws that came with it, so I drilled the mounting bracket holes bigger and used two bolts with nylon lock nuts to secure it to the hitch. It was easy; it added two minutes to the install - total time to install the bracket was 5 minutes.

I would recommend buying a Mount that doesn’t require you to disassemble the 7 pin wiring to get it through the mounting hole.
I chose to cut away 1” of material at the bottom to slip the pigtail cord through the mounting hole.

Gotta have this bracket to mount your 7 pole connector to. But I had a place to attach to on my Draw-Tite hitch and didn't need the self tapping screws, HOWEVER, I needed two additional black screws to attach the connector bracket to the hitch spot. Should come with (6) black screws and two self tappers. I have to go find two additional black screws if able to attach the bracket to the hitch hangar. That's why i didn't give it five stars.

Self tappers supplied with the bracket are not strong enough. Both broke way too easy. Bolts supplied with the bracket are not long enough to fit the adapter, even though it was suggested. Other than that, the adapter came as advertised.

Bad idea. The only reason for the 1 star review is that it hangs way too low and will rip right off with any small “off roading.” Mine ripped off day 1 on a slightly rutted logging road to my property that isn’t even that rugged. I’d be worried just going down a forest road into a campsite if there’s a small ditch. A better solution unless you never leave pavement is to just drill a hole through the metal and get the appropriate mount for that.

Works great. I mounted the plug upside down for clearance purposes because I wanted it up higher and tucked up a bit more. Couldn't achieve that if the plug opened upwards.

The tow package I purchased last year, fits great and installed perfectly. It works perfectly with my electronic under-dash brake controller.
The kit came with everything that I needed and instructions were easy to read I had the entire kit installed in about 40 minutes it's work Flawless for me for over a year and I tow a variety of trailers the plug is never failed due to workmanship it is still water tight.
The receiver cap spring still has excellent tension to help hold the plug into place, the only gripe I have is that I should have installed stainless mounting screwswhen I installed the kit because the mounting starting are starting to rust a little, but that's my oversight and is nothing to do with the kit and its ability to provide flawless service.
I highly recommend this product if you're like me and was looking for an oem Plug and Play setup!
5 stars!

The product itself is great, but the hardware (screws, nuts, etc) is trash. Should be stainless steel. Keep in mind, it doesn't include hardware to fasten to the frame of your vehicle. I used the hardware from another kit here on etrailer. I initially ordered the incorrect bracket.
I had it installed for literally one week. No snow or ice, and it looks like I dropped the thing in the ocean for a month.

My F150 had an OEM 4 pin trailer plug and hitch.
The 118242 - 7 pin connector with wiring harness is the ticket. The hardest part of the install was dropping the spare tire. The plugs connect directly to the factory plugs and the harness length is the correct length.
The 3035-P brake controller connector harness was just as easy. Plugs right in to the OEM plug next to the ECM connector and the other end into the brake controller.
The PK12711U-26 - 7 pin bracket and hardware kit fastens directly the OEM bracket that is on the hitch. My truck had an OEM 4 pin trailer towing set up with the hitch. The OEM hitch had the bracket welded on it to attach the 7 pin mounting bracket to it.
These kits make this install very easy and professional looking.
If I have one complaint, the hardware kit to attach the 7 pin connector bracket is set up to fasten the bracket directly to the bumper with 2 - self tapping screws provided in the kit. The kit also includes 4 #12 machine screws with toothed washer nuts to attached the 7 pin connector to the bracket. This is fine if your truck hitch doesn't have an attaching bracket welded to it. The kit should included in it 6 #12 machine screws and nuts along with the 2 self tapping screws. Since my OEM hitch actually had a bracket welded to it to attach the 7 pin bracket to it, I had to use two other #12 screws and nuts to attach the 7 pin bracket to the OEM bracket on the hitch. Not a big deal, just a thought.
It took me about 2 hours, start to finish to install the 7 pin connector, trailer controller, and add the two relays in the OEM relay/fuse box under the hood.
I highly recommend these kits.

It was suggested I purchase this bracket to assist in mounting my 7-way trailer harness (item #118253) to my 2010 Honda pilot. When I tried to attach the bracket underneath and behind the bumper, I discovered it was too tall and very difficult to fit where it was required. I also found that the bracket is a 90-degree bend and will not go flush against the bumper wall. The bumper wall runs at an angle and you would need a bracket with an approx 35-degree angle to fit flush against the bumper, that's important if you want a professional clean looking mounting of the trailer harness (7- way insert) like I installed (see attached pics). So forget this bracket, Just save your money and mount onto the bumper wall, plenty thickness and you get a clean look...Maybe one day they will make the proper bracket for such an installation...

Bought for a 2018 Nissan Frontier. Fit the wire plug perfectly and the Screws and nuts to secure the plug to the bracket were fine. The two screws to attach the bracket to the vehicle were way too small to use. They wouldn't work on the mounting tab on the Draw-Tite hitch or the factory holes under the bumper. I suppose if your creating new holes they would be okay. Appears to be a quality piece and I'm very satisfied with it.

Does the job and simple install since my hitch had a predrilled mounting tab. 4 screws to install the plug were included but I wish it came with two small bolts, nuts, and lock washers to install the bracket to the mounting tab.

Although this bracket comes with tapping screws to mount to a metal undersurface structure, it only has 4 screws for the 7 point hitch device to screw into it and no additional screws to mount to the hitch itself. It should come with 6 locking screws for that purpose. I had to use 2 to mount it to the hitch and 2 to mount the 7 point hitch device into the bracket, leaving 2 spots open. I went to my local hardware store and autozone and couldn’t find these exact screws and etrailer doesn’t sell them as a separate order.

- Is etrailer or EcoHitch Better for a 2021 Subaru AscentHey Sergi, thanks for reaching out! Go with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR. There are some subtle differences in design but really what the price difference amounts to is the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7381 was really the first of it's kind on the market, but then other companies started coming out with their own designs like it and TorkLift/EcoHitch still thinks that their design is much more superior to everything else on the market...which it isn't.

This will give you the two additional relays needed as well as the wiring harness. Then you will need a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 as well as the wiring adapter # 3035-P.

The # PK12711U-26 is actually an older discontinued part number in our system. Pollak used to send us these brackets without hardware, and we had to add a hardware pack here at our warehouse. So part # PK12711U-26 actually contained the # PK12711U bracket and the PK11-926 hardware pack. Now, it's all combined under part # PK12711U for easy installation and will work perfectly...

- Installing 7-Way Trailer Connector so It Doesnt Get Destroyed Backing out the DrivewayHere's what I'd recommend. If you have an exposed portion of the hitch crossbar to work with, use the # 18136 no drill bracket. This fastens to the hitch crossbar using an included pipe clamp. You'll also use the # PK12711U 7-way mounting bracket. I'd begin by mounting the trailer connector to the # PK12711U, so that the mounting flange is at the bottom. Then, attach that to the # 18136 but just leave it finger tight for the moment. Put the # 18136 up against the underside of the hitch...

- Flat Tow Wiring for a 2001 Chevy TrackerThe wiring used for flat towing a vehicle is different than what you would use to tow a trailer with your 2001 Chevy Tracker so while I can definitely help you out with wiring, it will need to be a splice-in application instead of using the plug that you found. To match what you're wanting to do we have a few options. I like the idea of swapping the 6-Way on your RV over to a 7-Way simply because the 7-Way is a little more standard but it's up to you.
