Installed the Hopkins muti-tow 7, 5, and 4 way flat connector this morning. I ripped the original connector that was attached to the bottom of the hitch receiver off when I was 4-wheeling into the Doll House campgrounds in the Maze District of Canyonlands a month ago. So, I cut a hole in the bumper and mounted the new Hopkins connector, cut off the old broken connector mounting bracket, and connected the factory wiring to the new Hopkins device. Hopkins product installed easily, looks great, is now out of the way, and has the flexibility of multiple trailer connectors when required.

I am pleased with the product. Attached is a photo.

Exactly what we had been looking for. Now I can hook up multiple trailers with different connectors and all the electrics on each trailer works. I mounted mine directly to the receiver hitch frame. The biggest challenge for us was routing the backup wire from the taillight housing, through the body of the truck to the connector. the rest went together fairly easily. Seems to be pretty solid and looks much better than the loose pigtail connector it replaced.446522

This is a Great product ! I built a trailer tester which is self powered and pretty much self explanatory on the way it operates. Using this connector gives the flexibility or connecting to a 4,5 or 7 way plug !1300702

I received the product quickly and in perfect condition the packing was excellant. I installed the connector easily and quickly. I consulted the Gm wiring diagram and als found the wires for all the 7 connections. I had a tight spot within the bumper edge, but managed to find short bolts to attach the bracket in old exsisting holes. The rest was easy attaching the connectors and making sure all wires were through the rear enclosure and tightening them down. I tested the 4 wire connector with my boat trailer lights and it worked like it was designed to do. I LOVE the versatility of this connector. Thanks etrailer.com!! Great product at a great price. 14869

Installation of the plug was a quick and easy. The existing Warrior hitch has a tab on the side for a trailer wiring socket. Drill a new hole on the installation bracket (comes with the trailer connector) so the bracket on the hitch matches bracket on the trailer connector. Done deal. This is the only trailer connector I found which has the 7, 5 and 4 connector options. Flexibility is always a good idea when you are borrowing someone else trailer or renting. 99853

Works great and etrailer folks did an outstanding job with quick turnaround and communication…thank you!1700769

I had broken my factor connector on my 06 Tacoma, frankly due to a poor design placement by Toyota in my opinion, however I was not going to pay a premium $200+ price for a new OEM part and I wasn't planning to place it back in the original spot to only get broken again. This is a great replacement plus I no longer need a wire adapter. The unit fit perfectly in pre-cut hole that held my left tag light. Only had to drill 4 small holes for the bolts to secure to the bumper. Only pain was cutting the old wire and attaching it to the new connector, but that only took 10 minutes top. 116271

This Hopkins 7,5, and 4-way trailer cord socket was delivered quickly and fits my needs for all my trailers. It came with all fasteners and complete instructions in the package and etrailer videos. I recommend this product and etrailer.com as a vendor.255835

I ordered the Tekonsha Electric trailer brake control and the Hopkins connector. It met my expectations. And easy installation. I have ordered from etrailer several times and they are professional in every way.391178

Great product fast delivery 1770381

This is my second one in a 10 yr timefr ame.1769644

This seems to be a pretty nice plug. Makes it nice with the 4 way and 7 all in one. The lid has a pretty stout spring on it so it should keep the weather out. Fast shipping excellent service. 112601

Build quality seems better than the base Hopkins product I had used before. Installed it in a mounting box (18159) on my Curt round tube hitch.225635

The connector interfaces very well with my XC90 and there is no drilling or advanced skills needed. Everything went together very well.98025

Works good. Put it on my 1 ton project. 1694337

I could not find a 7 round with a 5 flat connector anywhere in San Diego. Most of the people I spoke with at trailer shops or RV stores said no one makes it only with a 4 flat connector. I just kept looking because I needed one with a 5 flat for my boat and didn't want to keep using my adaptor.

I found etrailer and the rep I spoke with was very knowledgeable and said he had exactly what I was looking for and it was a great price. I will be always using etrailer for my trailer parts for now on.

Thank you,

Good product. 5 pin cover could fit tighter, but over all makes trailer wire hook up easy and trouble free. No more searching for adapters.246892

It's a connector!

We got this connector to wire our small teardrop with an RV 7-blade for underway charging and reverse lights. It's well built, seals well when not in use, and does its job just fine. We did not lube the contacts, but so far no visible corrosion. The 4/5 flat connector is a nice bonus - keeps us from needing to carry along an adapter.

If you're installing it in a new location there are two things to remember: make sure you have enough depth at the installation point to allow wiring to run clear, and use a REAL bimetal hole saw if you're installing it in a metal bumper.

Would use again.442304

This plug is awesome! Using the bottom 5 pin plug on the bottom plug works great on my utility Trl, the other plug I have wired for my other trailer with brakes, it definitely works great with no adapter's no matter what the trailer on mine I'm pulling, would definitely recommend this if you need a great plug!634318

This receptacle should come standard on all pickups and SUVs!! The seals keep out almost all of the water and grime. The spring-loaded cover acts as somewhat of a keeper for whatever plug is inserted in the large receptacle. The versatility of hooking up to old and new boat trailers, plus any equipment trailer the local rental yard can throw at me, is amazing! I still carry a couple of adapters, but never need them. Installation takes about 15 minutes. Be sure to use the included terminal grease.606628

Very rugged device, good design. This alleviates having a 4 or 5 wire connection hanging from your vehicle. Great for replacement of old connector. Great for DIY 212372

It is still working great. I would highly recommend this product.

The Trailer plugin was a replacement for a cheaper one, that was mounted below the bumper, next to the tow hitch. This one is mounted in the bumper, between the license plate lamp and the license plate, out of the way of being damaged. Great plugin. ( but drilling the bumper was a pain, but worth every bit of time). This is my third order from E-trailer. Great Service and looking forward to my next order.522036
