Jeep

We have towed our Jeep almost 2,000 miles since installing the recommended parts from etrailer and it has worked perfectly on every connect and disconnect along the way. Tows beautifully, even at 70 mph. Excellent customer service and helpful videos from these folks. Would recommend to anyone needing help with parts and guidance in towing their toad to give them a call. 616795

All was straight forward and the video was spot on for the installation. Wasn’t easy but well worth it. Had a broken part on the original delivery and the part was delivered fast. 654435

I found the installation video to be more helpful than the written instructions. The toughest part of the installation was routing the wires to the front of the Forester. The video was helpful in figuring out the best path for the wires. 460332

The product is a good quality I installed this before. This time I needed 4-5 feet extra wire to route it properly. That's why I give it a 4 start. On the end its worked fine. 252634

The wiring kit included all the parts listed and the video was most helpful with the installation. The installation went fairly easy until I got to the portion of running the brown wire from one taillight to the other taillight. The brown wire was not long enough. I had to splice another piece of wire on to the brown wire to make it longer. etrailer should consider making the length of included wire approximately 3 feet longer. That would have helped a lot with the installation. Also include a longer piece of the split protective plastic. Other than those two issues, I am satisfied with the product. 459131

After one year of use and the wiring installation has worked great.

I like the coiled cable in RM-15267 At one time I owned an Airstream travel trailer that had a tow cable. The Airstream did not have a coiled cable and I had to tie it up with bungy cords to still allow flexibility while traveling. That lasted for one season and the bungy cords stretched out and the cable started touching the road, scraping off the insulation! The coiled cable in the RM-15267 prevents the cable from dragging on the road! 446459

Overall this would be a five star review except for two issues. One being the wire provided was not 30 ft but was closer to 25 ft as I checked before using. I wired the same as the great etrailer video for my vehicle Cadillac SRX and ended up short. Fortunately I had additional wire and was able to complete the run. Secondly, the female spade connectors used on the diodes needed to be tightened as they were not very tight as provided by Roadmaster. These were all Roadmaster issues and of not fault of etrailer. Everything else looked of good quality. 428886

Great kit for auto to motor home connection. Watched the video while installing the kit. Very good video and spot on for making the connection and explaining how to route the harness. 502226

Everything installed without any issues. I'm very particular so it took 2 days to complete everything. I'm sure a pro could do it much faster. Have towed the 4" lifted (and loaded) Jeep accross the Rockies about 6 times and everything is working perfectly!! Very happy camper!! 301003

Towbar wiring system arrived within 4 days of placing my order. This 7 to 6 wire system is an upgrade to the simpler 4 wire plugs I've used in the past and will allow me to add on a battery charge line or brake system later on. The demonstration video was indispensable in hooking up the wiring and diodes. Though running and connecting the wiring does take longer than a 10 minute video. Now I can tow my 2016 Jeep Wrangler behind my RV. 444983

Great service. Outstanding delivery time. Very helpful customer service. 575415

Great package. Took my time and followed the videos about 2 1/2 hours. Finished product worked great. 501364

My son and I really appreciate everyone at etrailer.com! When I emailed you awhile ago, Jameson C. answered with everything we would need to hook up my RAV4 to our motorhome. Our order came today and my son has already installed the hitch to the RAV4. Now to install everything on the motorhome! He has watched your videos and read your instructions and the installation wasn't that difficult. Thank you for all your help! 414621

Excellent company. Great communication, fast shipping and the products worked perfectly. I had some trouble installing this to my rear brakes, but that was my own fault. I didn't realize that the brake lights are grounded when they are mounted to the Jeep. So I kept testing the lights once they were hooked up, however they weren't mounted back on the Jeep. It wasn't until everything was mounted back on that it all worked without any issues. 305606

I’ve been a great full user of etrailer, been using them for all my hitch and all wiring needs since 05. They have been a great company to work with with great customer assistance and knowledgeable technicians. Thanks for all your help over the years. 565168

Good product and quick shipping. What was best of all was the on-line video that showed how it install. Made the installation much easier. etrailer has good prices and excellent customer service. 466905

The quality is good, straightforward install. I’m happy with the kit 568004

I purchased a whole towing system and wiring systems from CathyT at etrailer. It was a fantastic experience. Cathy guided me througfh all the components I would need for a complete towing system for my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. After placing the order, I received all the parts within 3 days. Whole experience was fantastic, Going to install the parts this coming week. 370008

I ordered an entire setup to flat tow my Subaru with my RV. Having never done this before I was nervous about missing something I might need. etrailer made it very easy when I called them on the phone. I told them what I was trying to do and they made sure I had everything needed to complete the job. I was given a name and phone number to call the same person if I had any issues. When one of the boxes was opened it was missing two pins from the manufacturer. A quick phone call and they had them in the mail in a matter of hours. This kind of personalized service is missing in our ever changing world. It was a pleasant surprise to find it here. Great Job etrailer. I will favorably recommend to everyone. 493275

This product is incomplete. 4 feet more wire and five wires instead of 4 wires. The 4 wires are at least 4 feet short requiring you to purchase more from a local hardware store. This kit also does not combine the brake and turn signal requiring an additional wire. DO NOT be fooled by this kit. If you have a supplemental brake They want you to buy another kit that is impossible to install on the brake switch under the dash. I just added two relays at each taillight to keep the motorhome brake power from mixing with the Explorer power. Very simple and everything is easy to access. 519554

Very good product. Was fairly easy to install if you are a little mechanically inclined. Take your time and think it thru and it is not that hard to install. The wire was the perfect length. 574014

Takes time to install, but easy with good instructions. Fast shipping from etrailer. Thanks! 661431

I am very impressed with service and product . I will use this company again for my future needs. 661412

I use etrailer because they always have what I want and good instructions on how to use it. 660815

All items were delivered quickly and were packaged so that nothing was damaged in shipping. The proof is in the installation so when that is completed I will let you know how it worked out. 659853

Very good service. William B was very helpful in getting me what I needed to hook up my GMC Terrain to my motorhome. Now, I have to install it all. Hopefully the installation instructions that William sent are as good as the rest of my ecperience with etrailer. 659341

Works great. Glad I went with the flat tow route rather than dolly. etrailer install videos made selection and installation as easy as possible. Will definitively use etrailer when setting up next tow vehicle. 658101

Sending a photo of our Jeep behind our Winnebago View with our Roadmaster Falcon tow bar. Great service and advice. 657072

Nice to get this all in a kit for you initial set up on a toad. Good quality plug cord. I added 2 diodes so I could do my turn signals separate from the brake lights and my toad (CR-V) tail lights all work as if the car was on its own. 655644

Looks like what I need. 653210

Simple instruction & instulation! Great service and quick delivery ! 650043

Everything is fine. 646422

A++ Thanks 646402

I have not yet installed the wiring kit I received but I received the item only 2 days after ordering. 644966

Everything needed to add tail light, turn signal and brake light's to your towed vehicle is included in this kit. The bracket for the 6pin connector is also included which is great. My main recommendation is that before splicing wires is to make sure your RV or towing vehicle wiring is as described in the documentation. I made my own table of 7pin wiring from the RV to the 6pin connector which is part of this kit. While all the documentation and was correct in an installation a few years back I wasn't as lucky and spent later many hours troubleshooting my connections only to find out that the RV was not wired the way the documentation stated. Again, do yourself good and check the RV wiring with a buddy so you know how it is connected. One other thing. Make sure the 27ft 4 wire cable is long enough for your application. With our truck it was on the short side and I had to splice some of the unused white wire. Lastly, and this is not part of this kit, but the provided 6pin connector has the provision for it, is if your RV has the 12V line and you intend to use this line to charge your towed vehicle, then make sure your umbilical cord carries that wire to your 6pin connector on your towed vehicle. Utilize that pin to bring 12V to your battery with an adequate breaker in place (I used 15A) with a diode to prevent the current going to the RV. 643832

Self installed. Online videos were a help. Would recommend. 643046

Worked as advertised. 641399

Received my baseplate and electrics promptly. They fit perfect. Great company to work with. Thank you 641268

Great customer service, answered all my questions so I could order the correct harness for my Jeep. 641034

Bought part for my tow bar on my Honda CRV. Product was received in record time. All interactions with company were swift and accurate. Happy customer! 638247

Great product, I installed it on a 2015 Jeep Rubicon, all you need to know about install is on YouTube. I love the fact that with this product you don't need a bulky battery isolation switch under the hood which was a problem for me to install there wasn't enough room under there and it would have been costly. 637921

lights work great have had no issues at all 635271

Even the wire colors were right for the '19 Cherokee T-hawk! The T-hawk is high enough so n inch or two of jacking allows access to run the wire aft, behind coverplates, etc. I cleaned the diode attach points with alcohol to aid adnesion of the tape. Suggest using a quality wire strip/crimp tool. Having no hitch, the rear bumper cover has 4 100mm bolts on the bottom lip. Removal allows pulling it away to run the 'crossing' wires, easily , hidden and secured. 634167

Video for 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk was spot on. Easy install. Get some extra diodes as the blade on the diode for the blade terminal is flimsy. Easy to bend 90 degrees when inserting in the connector. Great product, fair price. 620317

The Road master base plate for our 2018 Ford Edge was a perfect fit. The only hard part about the installation was removing the front end (face) of the ford. The instructions were spot on showing where each item, that needed to be removed from the front end, was in pictures. This is my second base plate for flat towing, my first was for our 2008 Saturn Vue XR. That kit installed flawlessly as well. I recommend etrailer's products 100%. 619630

2010 Chevrolet Equinox

Super product. Very easy to follow instructions make this easy to install. Videos for particular vehicles help. Worked great the first time after hookup and after 1 year still working well. Would recommend this setup for a DIY install. Took me about 2 hours but I went slow and made sure everything was secure and following the best route on my vehicle. I prefer this system to the option of adding bulbs to the taillights. I use this on our motor home and Blue Ox tow bar setup for our 2010 Equinox. 615998

Everything I needed was in the kit. The installation videos were fantastic! 615994

Everything we needed, and more. 613873

I'm still working out the details but this kit got all of the wires I needed from the 7-pin on the RV up and into the engine compartment of my tow'd. The instructions are clear and it looks like no problem. 613344

2013 Cadillac SRX

I installed this wiring kit on our 2013 Cadillac SRX and it has performed perfectly for the past year. We've towed the car about 9,000 miles and without any issues. In the installation it would have been nice if the instructions were a little more precise but the issues I encountered were nothing any other DIY'er couldn't have also figured out. 610851
