Best 2009 Kia Sorento Trailer Wirings

This product works as expected. There is not too much to the installation, just plug it in properly and mount the ground wire. I did not find an easy way to mount this to my wife's Odyssey, or to the trailer hitch (item# 75270). Luckily, I do prototype design and manufacturing. So I came up with my own solution. I designed and made my own bracket to mount the 7 pole to the trailer hitch. It works like a charm, and looks great!

i had to replace these two items as my dear daughter went down our goat path driveway too fast. they replaced the originals from etrailer from the prior year. shipping is timely and customer service actually helps! i wired from battery to controller to hitch myself, and everything fit.

After one year, the 7-pin adapter has been going strong without any problems.

Worked great.

Not too difficult to install, but I would recommend using a car lift so you don't have to work from your back (review includes wiring harness and Brake Controller)

Very easy install. My truck had a precut hole in the bumper for the plug. I then hooked the spare 4 pole plug into a Reese Universal mounting bracket and mounted it onto the hitch.

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.

great site, helpful instructions and support. The install was easy because of those instructional videos. Great work! -Albert

Not installed yet but looks as good as one used before in a former vehicle. The actual adapter I received is "Reese", which is a reputable brand for towing accessories.

I put this on my 2016 Kia Sorento. Do yourself a favor and watch this instructional video "Hopkins Trailer Wiring Adapter Installation - 2014 GMC Acadia". Another great tip for my application is to buy an extra 20 feet of 16 guage wire. I ran the wire from the tailgate on the inside of the weather stripping and snaked the wire into the utility tray in under the back flip up compartment. When I need to hook up the adapter - I just run it out of the tailgate and hook it up. This keeps the adapter out of the elements when not in use.

Arrived quickly. I didn’t need to wire the extra lead to my reverse lights because my trailer doesn’t have surge brakes or backup lights. Simply plug and play.

7 pin connector separated from cable. I was expecting that "Molded Cable" meant that the connector was fused to the cable insulation but instead, the two separated almost immediately after I installed it. It still works fine as the wires are connected securely inside the connector but with the outer covering pulled out like this, I don't think it will last very long.

Çable good but after putting new 7way plug on truck cable wire colors did not match etrailers picture

This adapter really cleaned up the installation and connected directly to the wiring harness. Maybe added an additional 20 mins to install this adapter but totally worth the time and money.

II use it on my towed vehicle behind the motor home. It allows me to take motor home power to a trickle charger in the towed vehicle and connect to the towed vehicle wiring. The four prong receptacle provides outlet to be used if there is ever in need for a four prong fitting good.

Really easy to install. Plugs right in to the flat four wiring. I found a decent spot to mount the bracket and finished the installation. 5 minutes max. At this time I didn’t have to wire up a brake controller. That’s going to be a project for a different time. I would definitely recommend this product.

Got this to replace the poorly constructed plug that came with the 7pin wiring kit. That plug broke at the spring hinge the second time I used it. Surprised that Hopkins didn’t include “Butt Connectors” though. Seems a little nickel dimeish. Had a good experience with Paul who refunded their price for the defective Kit plug as well as refunding the price difference for the wiring kit which had gone from $110 to $48. Overpriced to begin with but convenient. Paul did real good dealing with a pissed off Old Guy

Parts are good fit great no problem You get what you ordered thanks

Works very well after re-wiring trailer lights with waterproof distribution box.

I ordered this wiring kit for a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 I recently acquired. The Ram was not tow ready but did have a factory 4-way. I also ordered hitch #13333. The wiring kit is very high quality and was easy to install. The 7-way fit perfectly where the factory 7-way would have gone. I'm using a Tekonsha Prodigy RF wireless brake controller so the blue lead was not needed but I left some extra should that change. Thanks etrailer!

Arrived on time and installing now

Wiring worked perfect for my project. I replaced the wiring on my 14 foot utility trailer. If I was to do it again I would buy the next length up. I would have liked to have a little extra wiring if I was to ever need it.

Your sales staff is second to none. Keep up the good work. You shipped minutes after I placed my order! Very impressed! Marty

Product arrived via snail mail. Product did not work upon arrival. After examination determined the ground wire was not connected at the factory. Once wire was stripped and properly connected it did work. Poor quality control at the factory.

This is my second order with etrailer. Both experiences with your company have been very positive. The knowledge and friendliness -along with following up on orders and satisfaction have been much appreciated. Brittany, the customer representative, is a huge asset to etrailer.

This was/is a critical piece of any towing system, and as such requires extra care to hook up properly . I would recommend testing each connection as you hook it up being extra careful to make sure you are matching the terminals in the mating connector properly. This harness/connector performs perfectly when properly installed.

Good product easy to install only reason for 4 stars is that the 4 pin connector doesn’t stay in the provided slot on the bracket

I never used it. It does not fit my motorhome. Still sitting in my garage.

Exactly what I was looking for. Easily connected to my existing 4-way without any additional wiring. The 7-way adapter bracket was the correct size, and the holes were pre-drilled for the right fit to connect to the existing bracket on the (U-Haul Installed) tow bar.

I found what I thought I needed on the website to prepare our car to be flat towed, but wanted to call to verify. After a short phone call, eTrailer saved me about $50 and got me the stuff I actually needed to get the job done! I won’t shop anywhere else!

This part is an exact replacement to the part that failed. The failure was caused by a poor installation which allowed the rubber boot to chaff on the truck frame. As it was an exact replacement installation was straight forward although I modified the mounting bracket to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem.

I installed this connector on my travel trailer. The original connector had become loose and would fall out if not retained by the tab on the bottom of the connector. After a year of usage The Pollack connector still snaps into place and fits tight. Good product.

Routine trailer maintenance. Absolutely nothing worse than fighting trailer lighting or electric brake issues when traveling.

Bullet-proof connector, if not the most elegant. Used in my case for custom "adventurization" wiring on my 2007 BMW F800ST motorcycle, now just road tested this late summer - early fall 2017 on a three month, 18,000 mile loop out of Chicago through the Arctic & Pacific Northwest, including the Dempster & Dalton Highways. Had a custom wiring harness that had to be able to be removed in order to get at the engine, hence the need for the connectors. A few photos should be attached.

This is a product that I needed for my project, but was not easily found and available. etrailer.com not only had the product, but had it at a great price. Shipping was very fast and free for the amount I ordered. Overall, this was a great shopping experience. I made a bulk order of 16 as I am manufacturing trailers that are towed behind motorcycles. This product gives me the six conductors that I need in a very small package, which is great due to the size of motorcycles compared to cars or trucks. The only thing that could be improved with this product would be if they came with dust caps for each connector, or at least one for the vehicle side to prevent dust and moisture intrusion while the trailer is not in use. Keep up the excellent service and selection.

It took awhile to receive my order, but I was informed by e-mail and was kept informed when I should expect delivery. Luckily, was in no rush, so I would reply and wait for an update from you. i received the connector in good condition. Thank you!

Installation went well and works fine. Only issue was the screws included with the product were not the right ones so had to replace which wasn't a big deal.

The wiring harness will not fit through the hole on the receiver extension. I had to unwire it and reassemble one end. I also expected there to be screws and nuts with the product. It now fits and looks good. Thanks

Excellent extension cord durable
