Best 2018 Smart fortwo Trailer Wirings

ETrailer had exactly what I wanted at a fair price. Website was easy to navigate and purchasing was simple. Shipping was fast and I was kept notified right up to when I received my order.

Plugs in easily, shows that pins are producing voltage, and locks in place using the spring loaded door to the 7-pin.

This is the product I expected and it arrived in factory new condition. To no fault of etrailer.com the currier wagon train and the ox’en that pulled the load were heading East. This was not the direction they were accustomed to so it took a few extra days. All in all good job I will do more business with this company.

I wish than all trailer wiring was color coded the same. I have wired a lot of trucks ant trailers and trouble shot problems and always solved the problems. this one gave some serious thinking since the wiring was color coded different. But it is working and I do like the Pollak plug.

Great place for any trailer needs. They alway gave what I want at a good price and fast shipping.

Just what we needed to make a custom harness for our boat trailers that we often tow with light and medium-duty wreckers. No more zip-typing our wireless drag lights to the trailers! Thanks, guys!

The plug was missing the set screw and collar that compresses on the cable to prevent strain on the connectors when removing the plug. You can see the set screw clearly in the product picture.

I like this style of plug because it is molded and is important in keeping water out of the plug. It is conveint because it has the right colored wires. I have a water tight termination box with studs that it is wired into. Once I damaged the cable so I opened up the terminal box installed eyelet lugs on the spare pigtail, and installed it in a fiew minuets. I keep a spare on hand with lugs on it so if I have an accident I can quickly replace it. I also use these on some of my smaller tow behind equipment. that's why I like this size plug it isn't real bulky.

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)

Perfect . My new Subaru hitch has a flat plate to which the dealership attaché the 4-flat. I used “2 L-brackets” to accommodate the 90 degree bend of the adapter bracket.

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.

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

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.

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.

My boat trailer had a split wiring harness that had suffered over the years. I purchased this harness for the boat trailer and with attaching it to the old wire was able to pull it through the frame and connect all new lights in an afternoon.

Great product

I wanted one with a LED tester built into it to "trick" my SUV into thinking I had a trailer connected when really it was just a bike rack so the car didn't slam in it's brakes while reversing thinking it was something else. So I bought a different adapter. The picture slightly deceived me into thinking this had LED tester because the plug is attached by a rubber string (that I thought was a wire). So add another picture of the other side and that would eliminate my confusion. 4 stars because it probably works the way 99% of people would want to use it for.

Everything worked out well. On time and fits perfect. Attach hitch setup and my new Ridgeline. It comes with a 2" inch receiver and I have a full compliment of 1.25. stuff from my previous car. All from etrailer i must admit! so I needed the 2-1.25 reducer, a good lock, and the 7-4 reducer for my goodies! Thanks for the grest service

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.

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

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.

Items were simply “thrown in the box” WITH the hitch which was not secured properly. Heavy hitch then bounced around on electrical connectors, destroying them. Components should have been fastened to the hitch as the hardware kit was with strong tape instead of just thrown into the box by somebody! Refund issued.

Product arrived on time and as described. I used this for setting up our 2014 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara for a flat tow. Mounting hole spacing @ 2" o/c didn't match our Blue Ox 1126 draw bar so I fabricated my own intermediate bracket, polished it to aircraft tooling standards, then lacquered it before final assembly. I think the finished product came out nice.

I am enclosing 2 photos of trailer connector I purchased from etrailer. I have a 1995 Dutchman popup trailer. It had a 6 way round connector which would not fit my 2010 F150. By using your trailer connector diagrams, I was able to determine Dutchman was using white for the ground, blue for brakes, black for battery, brown for right turn/brake, red for left turn/brake, and green for tail lights. I replaced the 6 way with your 7 way connector.

Quality built product. This connector seems to take less effort to plug in to the 7-flat socket than others that I have installed. Metal housing provides great rigidity. I appreciate that they include the clip to stow the connector when not in use. If I could improve on it, I would prefer the manufacturer find a way to design the inside to be less obstructive to the 7 wires that have to pass through the middle. I use heavily insulated 7-wire harness, and had a difficult time squeezing everything in to the provided space. All said and done, very happy with the product and I do play on purchasing again next time I need another. I would recommend this to any professional installer. My application is 5 different trailers that include surge and electric brake assemblies in a fresh water marine environment on multiple types of vehicles. This produced is plugged and unplugged almost every day.

Quick shipping, will order from them again!

Exactly what I needed and It's a great fit

The pins were too big by a little bit. Had to force the female plug into the socket

I purchased both pieces and got the fifth that I was looking for for my motorcycle. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to wire the motorcycle to pull a trailer.

I rewired my light bar for my boat trailer with the items I purchased. Before I built the the light bar, every time I used my boat trailer I would waste valuable sailing or fishing time repairing faulty lights. The do not last long when you submerge them in salt water. This light bar now version 3.0 have given little trouble over the years

Great product. Works well when I had a broken connection on my 4 way plug end on my light-up hitch cover I bought from y'all a while back. Always a happy customer. Thanks, George.

We just finished a makeover of our 1995 boat trailer. New bunks, sanded and painted but the best part of the project was the new LED lights from your company. They are so much brighter than the old incandescent bulbs that you really do feel safer driving down the road. We pulled the 20 year old wire out and replaced with new and used the 3M scotch loks to tie in. We were not sure the new style grommets would fit the old holes in the frame but they fit great. Your customer service was great, alerting me to a backordered reflector but recommended a replacement that worked fine. Patrick set up a Q&A page for me since I had questions about the best way to protect connections with dielectric grease, heat shrink and tape. Your website is one of the best with ease of navigation, complete pictures, great selection and thorough info, dimensions, etc. You guys really have your act together and also offer great value. I would not hesitate to purchase again and will recommend you when I can. I have attached a couple of pictures. Thanks for all your help. Wayne N.
