Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector
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.

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

Mighty Cord Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 7-Way RV Style - 12" Long
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.

6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit (Car and Trailer Ends)
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.

TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension for 36" SuperTruss or Cannon Hitch Extender - 7-Way RV
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

7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 4' Long
When I ordered this harness I thought I was getting a standard 7 way for a conventional trailer with brakes. What I actually got was a harness made for a camper/RV hook up. The wires have all the colors you would expect but all the lights/turn signals are coded into the plug completely different. After spending a good deal of time carefully matching, soldering and heat shrinking all connections to my new trailer harness, I was very dismayed to find only the brakes actually worked. After a bit of research I found a schematics page on the etrailer site and discovered the problem. As this is a molded plug I could not take it apart and just reposition the wires inside the plug. Another full hour or more of rewiring followed and now all is well. The harness itself is of very good quality but was not labeled/identified properly. This could have been prevented if etrailer would clearly label this harness as a camper/RV harness only.
This is definitely a good quality molded cord for the money. Route and wire this cord into a good quality junction box and you will be on your way to having some excellent trailer wiring.

48" Long 4-Pole Loop with Cover
The items I ordered will allow me to adapt my utility trailer for transporting my sea kayaks. Curt and Hopkins are both quality manufacturers. On a shipping note, the box arrived at the Post Office broken wide open. Your shipping folks need to wrap small, heavy, items in bubble wrap. Then stabilize it with foam peanuts. Just putting it in a box then stuffing the box with craft paper does not cut it. Items were not damaged so I am good to go.
I have now installed the following on my 2017 Wrangler: Brake light relay kit . Hopkins Towed vehicle Tail Light wiring kit. Blue Ox base plate. Blue Ox Patriot Portable RF Braking System. All of this has taken about 3 days of work spread out over a week or so. Overall it went well. Not too many surprises. Crawling around under a car at 71 is a bit of a strain but I'll get over it. I must say that Donna P. has been a wonderful source of great information and has stayed right on top of the process. eTrailer has been a great source for this project. I would recommend you all with no hesitation.

Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Kit - Vehicle and Trailer Ends - Ergonomic Design
etrailer is the only place I could find this item. It is much higher quality than other flat connectors, with weather covers and big finger/thumb grips to actually hold onto the connectors and easily separate them. I used the 'trailer' end in my adapter unit.
The female connector is attached to the swing arm of a motorcycle to provide lighting lighting for a trailer pulled by the motorcycle. This means that there is likely much more movement in the harness than for an automotive application. I've never had a problem with any part of the harness. I found this product to be exactly what I wanted, well made and easy to install. The protective cap functions well as it remains pliable (flexible) after a year of use, and while it has never fallen off in use, it is easy enough to remove before making the connection. It has done the perfect job of keeping mud and other detritus out of the contacts. The recessed nut holders also function well and is one of the reasons I chose this wiring kit. This wiring kit gets high regard and recommendation from me. All of my purchases from etrailer have been solid products delivered at reasonable cost.

Great product no issues at all. Product as described & fit properly.
Pretty straight forward. I used it to switch my European trailer's connection to be able to connect to my Wrangler's 4-pin trailer hookup. No issues. works great.

7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector - 3' Long
I've had this in use for over a year and they don't build them like they use to. I use this on a gooseneck trailer and the piece of plastic behind the spade connector for the clearance lights and brakes has melted, allowing the spade connector to lose contact with the plug on the pickup. So the lights would cut off in the middle of the night and would have to wiggle the connection till I could fix it. I have an older Hopkins plug and never had this problem. To fix the problem I ended up putting pieces of thin copper wire behind the spade and have done it twice since the plastic melted a 2nd time and once again the trailer clearance lights would quit working. Attached are before and after pictures.
After a year doing its job well.

E-trailer: they've got what I need at a reasonable price. This is what e-commerce should be!
I received the product after just a few days. I had many technical questions that were answered by a competent service person. The product arrived in great shape and I had reviewed their installation video so installation went very quickly and easy. My 2011 Chevrolet Silverado is equipped with a 7 pole connection so I bought their adapter to convert to flat 4 pole connection. That an the CR-017 led worked very with first try. I also bought the trailer hitch lock at the same time. All products are very easy to use.

Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Trailer End - Ergonomic Design
The product arrived in a timely manner and undamaged. I have not used this 5 pole adapter yet, but the 4 pole adapter I previously bought from etrailer years ago is still working great. I have no reason to doubt that this adapter will function equally well. I appreciate the good products and customer service from Etrailer.
I needed the extra wire to run for multi-led lights mounted underneath the steps at the rear of my trailer, when in reverse trailering. This connector seems heavier-duty compared to many on the market and so far is still working well after a year or more. As with most products from etrailer, I haven't been let down yet. Here's a real special GOTCHA moment I had recently; My trailer jack stand, which I had purchased from my well-known and popular local trailer company to replace my original had rusted to pieces. I needed a replacement quickly and trusted I'd get a decent product and price as had been the norm over many years. Anyway, I purchased the new jack and wheel and brought them home to install myself. Upon taking the jack out of the bag it came in, I noticed a sticker from etrailer, yea. Before installing I went online, saw that my jack was less than half the cost I'd just paid, and realized I should have purchased the jack when I had originally shopped online at the start of this replacement process. I could have returned my over-priced items but decided I didn't have the time due to procrastination. I decided they could keep their extra profit on this purchase but I won't get fooled again and my local shop has lost my trust.

Custer Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Dust Cover - 7-Pole Round Pin to 7-Way Blade
This product did not work. The diameter of the 7 pin receptacle plug was 1/8” narrower than my trailer plug. It fit perfectly into the 7 way blade receiver plug on my truck. I called customer service. She called manufacturer and manufacturer said there must be something wrong with my trailer plug. My trailer plug came standard on the trailer. Unfortunately no inside diameters are provided so one cannot measure before ordering. I am returning the product but was told I have to pay for shipping. etrailer has such a good reputation. I am really disappointed in this experience.
I have ordered several of these in the past from etrailer. Great product, quick shipping, an overall Great company to do business with.
What our customers are saying:
"WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!"
