FAST SHIPPING

Plug and play. Easiest way to get the added length needed when installing an aftermarket Tacoma bumper. Shipped faster than expected. Order with confidence.



by:

Great product fast shipping. Will order from you again.



by:

Shipped Quickly, and everything is in the box that I ordered.



by:

Plug and play extension for a 22 Tacoma after adding an aftermarket bumper. High recommend instead of cutting and splicing in additional wires.



by:

Fits the needs for 5th gen 4Runner to relocate trailer plus to closer to the bumper and hitch.



by:

Fits perfect and great customer service.



by:

Appears well made, needed to extend a harness because of an aftermarket bumper I put on. This will do the trick.



by:

Easy install. 100% as advertised.

Zero issues over the past year. Flawless product



by:

Perfect fix for my trailer light harness! We rrplaced the “cheap” plastic bumper on our 2022 Toyota Tacoma with a steel Body Armor bumper. The last thing to hook up was the harness for towing trailers. Although the standard issue harness that came with the truck was fine for the standard issue bumper, it was 3” short to hook up!! Googling fixes found this part with this company! Easy-Peasy fix. Plug one end into the harness the other end into the end that mounts on the bumper. The product was shipped the day after I ordered it. You can see on their website when and who picks it off the shelf snd packs it and when it ships. My only complaint was the slow moving through USPS’s pipeline. No fault of this company, though.



by:

I primarily paid for yalls great advice to purchase this extender. Exactly what was needed based on one of your online q&a tech's solution.



by:

Product was as described fit perfectly very easy to install. Thank you very much.



by:

I replaced the factory bumper on my Tacoma with a steel bumper. Unfortunately, the new bumper had the trailer plug connector in a different location and the factory wiring wouldn't reach. I was pretty sure from the pictures that this would extend the connection and it worked perfectly. I was not looking forward to getting into the wiring on the truck and extend that way.



by:

Fitment was exact. Right part and fast delivery.



by:

Great products, all weather and robust. Quick shipping and fair price!!



by:

perfect fit



by:

As advertised. Plug and play. Everything fit. Easy to order and was delivered quickly.



by:

i got the wrong one my fault i will add the correct ends and use the electrical portion



by:

I checked out the fit on my 2017 Tacoma and it's perfect. I unplugged the OEM harness from the bumper mounted trailer receptacle and was able to plug the extender cable into the trailer receptacle and in turn plug the OEM harness into the extender cable. Note that the Curt item sent was not the C86DR but rather the Curt 56475. Still seemed to work OK. Must be an updated part.



by:

This is exactly the product we needed. Going over a big bump in the road would sometimes snap off the brake controller. Now the controller is out of harm's way. And if the extension gets damaged, it's way cheaper than a new controller.



by:

Got what I asked for, at time of ordering didn't know there was an adapter plug harness. Usually I just splice the new one. made my life easier.



by:

Worked perfectly for my 2026 Ford F350. Installed a utility box and needed a little extra length. The 20" was just the ticket. I did have to pull out the blue insert on the truck side to install.



by:

This does not connect to my Toyota 7 pin or the connector on my trailer! HELP! I need a 20”extender

Hey John, here to help! Part # C86DR that was ordered doesn't plug into the trailer plug on the vehicle or trailer. This would plug into the factory plug and then go into the plug on the back of the 7-way to extend that wiring. I have included a link to a video so it helps clear up what I'm trying to explain. If you are needing an extension between the truck and the trailer you could use part # TLW6024.



by:

ZERO STARS. Great build quality doesn’t matter if the ends won’t mate up. The side with the blue interior is the factory harness. The other is the one purchased from Etrailer/Curt. The triangle that should fit into the void of the factory harness for alignment, it’s way too big. Does not even come close. This WILL NOT work on the 2022 Ford F250. I have had nothing but trouble with orders I have placed with etrailer.

Hey Patrick, I am happy to help. That blue insert in your factory wiring is not supposed to be on that side of the plug. That piece should have stayed in the receptacle that you pulled the plug out of. Take some needle nose pliers and pull that blue piece out and put it back in the vehicle side plug. Then the curt and factory plugs will mate. I hope that wasn't confusing. It is not easy to explain over text! Let me know if you figured it out.

We initially suspected that was the case. We tried out best to remove that blue piece, but it was stuck tight and we could not figure out how to get it out, so we naturally assumed that it belonged on that side. We undid some zip ties along the frame and were able to stretch the original hardness, just long enough to make the connection which went together with easily. There was no reason to think that blue piece should’ve come out of that socket.

  • Does Curt 7-Way Extension Part # C86DR Fit 2021 Chevy Colorado
    Hey Bryant, yes the Curt 7-way extension part # C86DR that you referenced does fit your 2021 Chevy Colorado as this fits basically any vehicle with a factory 7-way like your truck. Are you going to be powering a set of external reverse lights with this?

  • Options For Replacing A Broken 7-Way Connector
    Hello Evan. I do have a solution for you, but I am afraid we do not offer a product that will fit your exact description. We do offer a few 7-way extensions that could potentially be used. Something like the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension # TLW6021. This will plug into the old 7-way and give you a new 7-way plug. It is 21" long though, so you would have to come up with a way to hide all the extra cord. You can use that with a bracket # A10-9394VP for a clean installation. Keep in mind...

  • Replacement Longer 7-Way Connector for a 2022 Toyota 4Runner w/ Factory Tow Package
    Welcome back Richard! The Curt Dual Connection Socket item # C36GJ isn't going to fix your issues but I have an option that will and you won't need to mess with an extension like item # C86DR. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package item # C55774 is going to be the best solution. The wiring and this connector are just over 15" long and are going to connect directly to your Highlander's factory tow package wiring. You'll be able to mount the connector in a better...

  • Extension Harness For Factory Tow Package On a 2022 Toyota Tacoma With Aftermarket Rear Bumper
    We have the Curt 7-Way Trailer Plug Extension # C86DR which is 20" long and will plug inline of the factory 7-Way/4-Way Connenctor # HM40975 on your 2022 Toyota Tacoma.

  • How Long is the Harness On The Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector # HM55FR?
    You are going to need the 7-Way Trailer Plug Extension # C86DR to go with the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector # HM55FR on your 2022 Ford F-550 cab and chassis. The included pigtail with the Hopkins is only 1' so the additional 20" you get with the extension will give you the 2' length you need to your service bed. Be sure to use Dielectric Grease # 11755 inside these connectors.

  • Replacing 7 Way Connector On Back Of Mercedes Sprinter 2500
    Hey Patrick! Are you just needing the 7 way that has a plug on the back that connects to the harness there? If so, you can just use the universal Curt 7-Way # C55416 which has 4 bolt holes, or 7 way and 4 way combo kit # C36GJ. If you need the 7 way harness connected to it, we have those as well with parts like Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C55774 or use one of the parts mentioned earlier along with harness # C86DR. If you have a square shaped connector...

  • Can a In Bed 7-Way Be Connected To Hopkins Wiring Harness # HM43385 On a 2006 Toyota Tundra?
    I do have a way for you to install the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 41157 in line of the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM43385 but it does not look like it will plug and play as the one I see has the wiring hard wired into the 7-way and not on a removable connector. To remedy this you can cut the Extension # C86DR in half and cut the wiring on the Hopkins Harness # HM43385 and then wire them together. Then you would be able to connect...

  • 7-Way Extension for Hard to Reach Connector on Prodigy RF Installed Under 2022 Highlander By U-Haul
    A big part of your problem is that the Tekonsha Prodigy RF is designed to be mounted to your trailer. If they were going to use a wireless brake controller and mount it to your vehicle it should have been the Curt Echo # C51180 which simply plugs in-line with your vehicle 7-way. You can try to take it back and have them redo it but it probably isn't worth the trouble to try and get them to fix this. The # C86DR is a different kind of extension so it won't work with your setup. You can use...

  • Can 2021 VW Atlas With Curt 58150 7-Way Connector Use Redarc Tow-Pro Link
    Hey Josh! You can install the Redarc Tow-Pro Link # RED57AR on your 2021 VW Atlas. However, you will need to swap out that connector for one that has a USCAR connection on the back. You will need the Pollak 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975 along with the Curt 7-Way Trailer Plug Extension # C86DR. You will replace the Curt connector with the Pollak Connector. The plug extension is going to splice onto the wiring that was running into the Curt, so you will now have the appropriate...
