4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w/ 60" Harness and Wire Taps
Harness is well made and shipped quickly and packaged perfectly
Took about 15 to 20 mins total to remove all the covers,Matt’s etc Wiring it in is so easy, only 4 wires, Use blue butt splice connectors instead of the ones it comes with. You can buy a small pack of ten for about 3 bucks, by doing this you will never have to worry about a loose connection. The video tells you what color goes where. I like to put a small price of electrical tape over every connector I do. Looks more professional and the wires can never come apart.

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.

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.

Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole w/Test Lamps
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.

Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole
Really nice trailer wiring adapter. Very easy install. Takes about 30 minutes with all the tools needed. Drill, 7/64 bit for pilot holes to mount the bracket, flat blade screwdriver and 11/32 nut driver and two #10 self tapping metal screws with locking split washers and a couple zip ties to tidy up the wiring harness.
I looked at so many options before deciding on the B&W hitch, but I have no regrets buying it. There is nothing that my car is suitable for towing that this thing can’t accommodate. I even use it on the front hitch of my mower to move trailers around the yard! Adjusts very easily and stows nicely (though on my Ford Edge it rides lower than I like when stowed).

Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable - Trailer End - 8' Long - RV Standard
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.

Mighty Cord Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 6-Way Round - 12" Long
Worked exactly as I expected. I’m setting up my Jeep to flat tow it behind my camper.

Adapter 4 Pole to 6 Pole and 4 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter
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.

RoadMaster 4-Wire Connector - Vehicle End
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.
Easy to install and works great.

Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Plastic Trailer Wiring Socket w/ Rubber Boot - Vehicle End
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 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!

Hopkins Tail Light Converter with 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector
I used the Hopkins 3 to 2 converter to make a 6-pin round to 4-flat connector for my Winnebago View motorhome. While there are 6-4 plugs available to do this, they do not work on the Winnebago View (no brake lights). This adaptor works great.
This device was no help in connecting my five wire trailer to my four wire goldwing. I ended up having to use a number of diodes in the trailer wiring to make everything work properly. My trailer had red LEDs that were used for Brake, Turn & stop and I had to get the brake and turn function to share the same lead on the light fixture.

Pollak Heavy-Duty, 4-Pole, Round Pin Socket, Concealed Terminals - Chrome - Vehicle End
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.

Bargman 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector - Double-Ended - 8' Long
This cord has much better connector than most with two sided connectors, most plugs are one sided and just don't connect over time.
As usual with E-Trailer, the connector cable that I needed arrived quickly and was the right part. When I had a question about my toad wiring, they responded with an answer and an instructional video which solved my problem. Their customer service is exceptional and I will continue to do business with E-Trailer.?? G. Rusk 2007 Fleetwood Terra LX 31-M. My toad will be a 2007 Dodge Dakota FWD.

Hopkins Endurance 6-Way Trailer Connector Socket - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design
The stuff not here
Very difficult to make the wiring connections, I was afraid I’d have problems on down the road so, I took it out of circuit and threw it away

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.

Adapter 4-Pole to 5-Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter - Shorter
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.
Perfect for converting 4 wire Ford Expedition trailer harness and boat trailer to 5 wire. The Expedition had a backup wire run to the area of the 4 wire plug so made the conversion easy.

Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket w/ Wiring Harness and Mounting Bracket
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.

Hopkins Endurance 7-Way Trailer Connector Socket - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design
Well I wasn't able to use this as there was no good place to install on my car without it practically dragging. Not a product problem at all. I tried to return and customer service was fast and super helpful... unfortunately return shipping would eat up any refund. So.. I get to keep it. good quality and product. Very happy with it and wish I could use it. Will keep it for sometime in the future when of course I will need it.
I do not recommend this product. I bought this for my truck. It seems to be the nicest looking plug on the market but after the first rain, the plug was filled with water. I changed the location from the hitch to the bumper and once again the plug was filled with water after it rained. This condition will obviously lead to terminals corroding and/or wires being shorted out. I have bought a different style plug, unfortunately the same brand but hopefully I will have better luck. May be able to drill a small drain hole in the casing to allow water to escape but shouldn't have to do this on a new product.

7-Way Super Sealed Connector w/4' Cable - Car End
Excellent solution to prevent corrosion at the socket. Because these things live under bumpers they catch all the mud, water, etc. from your tires causing problems at the plug. This product is sealed and wiring can be done up and away from the bumper area. One downside is the wire colors do not directly match standard colors. There is a legend molded into the cover of the socket to go by. Once installed it is perfect.
It is my opinion you do a very good job shipping but when it gets 4 blocks from my house and sets at the Post Office for 2 days I wonder If something could be done

Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector with Universal Pigtail Harness - Vehicle End
Overall, I was very impressed by this connector. I used it as an in-bed connector for my gooseneck trailers. The plug seems to be a quality product, engineered to stand up to some abuse. I like how the mounting bolt heads recess into the connector and also how the bottom of the connector is elongated to help support the weight of the plug and wiring. I think it has a great shot at lasting for a very long time. The hinge is predominately plastic that will not corrode and break like the many I've had in the past.
Great Product quick and easy install.
