Attach this electrical bracket to your 2" trailer hitch to make mounting your trailer connector (sold separately) fast and easy. Use with either a 4-way or 5-way flat connector. No drilling required.

Ahh I absolutely love this product! I actually reached out to etrailer asking about running the trailer wiring not out of the trunk and I was recommended this bracket. Super easy to install. The directions recommended bending the lower flange to make a tighter fit around the hitch. Blah. I did this initially and I didn’t like the way it fit because it kind of bowed out. I straightened it back out and added a spacer. The spacer is great in my opinion. Once tightened down they made for a perfect fit. Super easy to use. Great product. Love the more flush look of the pin. Way to go!
The bracket fit the receiver hitch and keeps the electrical plug from dragging or coming loose. When I tightened the lower retainer, the flat 4-prong plug was loose. As I re-tightened the retainer mounting bolts, it (the end of the retainer) began to bend slightly. See attached pic. Using a heavier or stronger gage metal will prevent this bending. Overall, I still give it 5 stars as I have had no problems with the plug falling onto the ground. Properly tightened, it holds the plug. I would recommend this product to everyone who has had a wiring plug falling onto the ground and being dragged drag on the ground
Installed with a Curt brand hitch on a 2025 Kia Sportage SX-Prestige Hybrid, and when it gets tightened the outer frame tends to bend a bit causing a gap.
Otherwise it is a decent product.
Easy to install. Feels heavy duty. Hopefully enough to withstand abuse from a carwash and snow or rain splash.
Great product to complement new electrical wiring for my hitch. It holds the wire securely in place for when it’s needed.
I installed the bracket on my new etrailer hitch. The install was quick and easy. It looks good and works great.
Works great! Install was simple. Now the flat connector doesn't dangle :)
Good product but not for the (75579) Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III on a Town & Country. Because the hitch fits tight against the bumper this does not fit. I was in a time crunch to travel, so I kept it and made it work by bending it and pushing the bumper up so I could slide it on the hitch.
Any other bracket would be hard to reach on a RAV4.
Does what it needs to do!
Fantastic clean install for hitch electrical. Puts the connector right where you need it and holds it secure. A+++
I purchased the Curt trailer wiring harness about 2 yrs ago. I didn't like having it running out the back hatch. I use my trailer a lot. I purchased the Curt 58001 mounting brkt. I reviewed the wiring install video and saw the grommet that you normally use for the power line to the harness from the battery. Now I had the hole to run the trailer connector wiring thru with out make another hole and having to splice the connector wiring.
I cut a slot in the middle of the grommet for the wire and then continued to cut the grommet so I could slip the wire to the center of the grommet, put on some liquid electrical tape and ran the wire to the bracket. As waterproof as original. Mounting bracket made a nice, practical connection point. I greatly appreciate your videos and etrailer is my go to source.
Fits as stated and seems to be good quality. Installs in about 5 minutes
Even if the nuts loosen over time the part won't fall off unless the bolts completely fall out.
The mount bracket is a great way to finish the hitch project; includes a hard mounting point for the light assembly from the vehicle. The hard mounting point makes attaching/detaching the male/female ends of the light cables a snap. The bracket has been on my vehicle for a year without any issues.
Easy install, very tidy. Only time will tell how well this survives New England winters, but nice simple solution for exterior wiring.
Trivial omissions from manufacturer's writeup (both became obvious ten seconds into installation):
1. This bracket can only be installed at the very end of the receiver tube, not at some arbitrary point along the receiver tube.
2. The spacers are for the receiver tube, not the wiring.
A rubber receiver tube cover will hold the bracket in place while one attaches the mounting hardware.
Great for mounting flat electrical conn ectors.
Perfect solution for conveniently & safely mounting trailer wiring for a 2" hitch receiver! Very quick & easy to mount, solid, and helps keep wiring above safety chains. I looked at several other mounts that are clamped to the receiver, but this is much easier.
I already recommended this to all of my family. It's great having your wiring harness fixed in one place. It makes plugging in easy, but it will also save your wiring from the stress of the road. I didn't want any rattling on the road so I cut some vinyl tube to fit over one of the carriage bolts. I could vinyl both bolts on one receiver and only one carriage bolt on the other, so use as you see fit.
Good fit for my 2020 Mazda CX 9. 4 pin flat wiring harness fits in between the brackets. Not sure what the extra solid brackets with two holes in them were for. The limited directions didn't list them. Otherwise a good product.
I like the idea of this mounting bracket. Still working with the pressure applied to keep the wire harness from moving.
I've been blown away by every Curt product I've bought. This one didn't disappoint. The metal is heavy and strong, the powder coat is thick and indestructible, the fasteners are stainless and exactly right, and the product itself is a great solution to the problem of mounting the trailer electrical connector.
I just installed the hitch and wiring harness today(Saturday). I thought I followed the video to the T but my car lights didn’t work. I called and they told me it would be Monday. I was disappointed but understood. Three hours later I get a call and they walked me thru my mistake. What great customer service this was my third purchase and if I need more they will get my business!
Easy to install, and the nice black paint is a great improvement, as it covers the 2" receiver (which no longer looked new). We're glad to have the wiring secured, and not dangling behind the car (a black Lexus RX-350).
Fits great on Curt hitch w/ 2" receiver and makes installation look like it was done by a professional!

No issue, the way I had to bend it for it to fit has work out fine, and no issues with the bumper even though it pushes the bumper up a little.
