Exactly what I needed. The Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel 90-Degree Harness is truly plug 'n play. Once you decide on the truck bed location for the new 7-pole plug and drill the hole the rest is simply snap together and you're done. The new harness fit perfectly with the factory 7-pin connector and had plenty of length to allow for the new plug to be mounted conveniently in the truck bed wall. No more cable hanging out over the tailgate.

I have used the Hopkins Endurance 90-degree harness monthly over past year since installation. I have also used the factory bumper 7-pole plug as my towing needs required. Both connectors work every time indicating a solid fit and good contact between the factory 7-pin connector and the added Hopkins Endurance connector. Very pleased with both ease of installation and performance.

This is a great connector. I’ve purchased this before and installed it on my 2007 Ram 2500. It works great. I purchased another Ram truck a 2006 3500 and got this same connector again. The instal is simple and it provided a clean safe look to your setup.

Installation went great drill hole and plug everything in comes with enough wire to put virtually anywhere in the bed. I was very pleased with the quality of the connectors.

Works well. Defiantly better than installing a gooseneck under the bed hitch. You can swap the plate over to a fifth wheel plate with ease. 2 birds one stone. Defiantly recommend

This harness was a breeze to install. Simple unplug and plug back together, cannot be any easier. Harness was plenty long to locate the plugin anywhere you would choose.

Finally got the right part, my bad the first time, and the Hopkins wiring harness was in my 2006 Dodge Ram truck in less than 30 minutes. Most of your time will be spent drilling the hole in the side of the bed. I used a 2" hole saw vice the 2 & 1/8th (already had the 2" and didn't want to run out and buy another hole saw) and had no problems getting the harness through the hole. Hooked up the trailer and everything worked perfectly. There's plenty of harness, maybe too much, for any application in the truck bed. Great product!

The wiring harness for my gooseneck 7 pole hitch on my Dodge is as advertised. The only problem is I looked under my truck it is not wired with a stock connector. I will have to cut and splice it anyway. Not a problem with the product but with my wiring.



by:
2001 Dodge Ram Pickup

I originally had ordered a different product but it was back ordered a month which I was ok with. After I placed the order, I received an email stating they had another conector that was basically identical that was in stock and if I wanted to switch to that one, I could call in and switch. So, I called in and they changed my order to that in-stock plug and it was here within a week! Awesome and easy customer service. It was also really easy to truck.

As for installation, it went flawless and I was done in under an hour. Hooked it up to one of my trailers and everything works perfect (including trailer brakes). Very happy with the whole purchasing/installing experience!

Trailer plug can't come unplugged or drag the ground anymore with connection inside of bed.

Super easy install. Only needed about half the length of the wiring harness it comes with. Forget looking all over for a 2 1/8" hole saw. A 2" will do the trick. (The trailer video says 1 1/8", but that needs to be corrected). This harness is well worth the money.

  • Best Option Gooseneck Hitch to 5th Wheel Trailer Connection For 2001 Ram 2500 and 2003 Actic Fox
    For your 2001 Ram 2500, the fact that you have the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1394 is a great start. This is a great hitch and the Extended Latch Pin Handle for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - 17" # BWGNXA1800 will keep you from getting under the truck to release the hitch ball. For your 5th wheel trailer you do have the option of the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert...

    For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck up near the front you'd want the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug # 41157 which is as confirmed fit and would work well.

  • Can 7-Way Wiring be Used to Power Headache Rack Lighting Functions
    The problem with using 7-way wiring for a headache rack is that there isn't a dedicated stoplight circuit so if the rack has a third brake light you won't find the correct circuit at this harness. The turn signals, running lights, and reverse lights are present though with the # HM42137. I attached a diagram that shows where you'll find them.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Connector on 2003 Dodge Ram 3500
    When you say that everything works fine, are you referring to the lights on the truck, or the lights on a trailer when its plugged in? If the problem is with the lights on the trailer, unplug the trailer and use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the trailer connector as each lighting function is activated. This will help determine if the wiring problem is on the truck or in the wiring on the trailer. If you find the problem is on the vehicle wiring, the easiest course of action...

    Installation of both the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1394 for your 2002 Ram 2500 and # BWGNRK1308 for your 2009 Ram 3500 Mega Cab short bed will not require the bed to be lifted or disconnected in any way.

  • Fifth Wheel Rails for Reese Rail Kit of 2008 Dodge Ram 2500
    Good job finding the rail kit part number! That means that at one point it has the part # RP30035-186 installed so for replacement rails you'd need the # RP58058 which comes with new install hardware as well. Then for an air bag kit the Firestone kit part # F2701 is the best option that provides the highest quality air bags. Then for a 7-way kit to install in the bed of the truck you would want the part # HM42137.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch for a 2008 Ram 2500
    The Curt Double Lock # C60733 is specifically designed for the 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 models, so will not fit your 2500. That being said, the Curt Double Lock # C607-661 is designed to fit a 2008 Ram 2500 with an 8 foot bed or with a 6 1/2 foot bed with or without the Mega Cab. A potential add on that I tend to recommend is the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM42137. This installs in the bed of the vehicle so you do not need to drape the trailer's wire over...

  • Distance Below Bed of Curt Overbed, Folding Gooseneck For 2002 Dodge Ram
    Per Curt, the distance below the bed will be 3-3/8 inches on your 2002 Dodge Ram for the Curt Overbed, Folding Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit # C61509-52. That should give you a good idea if you have the necessary space to install the hitch in your Dodge. If you do have the space, and also need a gooseneck wiring harness, the correct fit for your truck is the Fifth Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness with 7-Pole # HM42137.

    Your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 base rails can transfer to your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 (because they are in the same generation). You will need to get new custom fit wiring # HM42137 (the 1999 custom fit wiring is # C56001) & replacement hardware kit for Draw-Tite and Reese 5th wheel hitches # 58164.

    Sounds like the brake controller wiring you found under the dash of your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 doesn't run to the rear of the vehicle. I would be shocked if any of the circuits are active though on that connector as everything we know on your vehicle indicates that there's nothing there. So to convert to a 7-way and install a brake controller you would need the # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed for that.

Then for the actual hitch I recommend the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 sliding hitch if you have a short bed but then you can use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16115 if you have a long bed.

  • 7-Way Wiring Recommendation for Fifth Wheel 7-Way in the Bed of 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
    Looks like somebody used quick splices to wire in the 7-way on your 2001 Dodge Ram and then when they removed the 7-way they just cut the wires leading to them. Thank you for the picture though as that helps me understand you setup very easily. Since it sounds like you are trying to install a second 7-way in the truck bed of your truck the easiest solution would be the part # HM42137 that would install inline with the factory 7-way wiring harness.

These rails are the industry standard rails that will fit your RBW 5th wheel hitch that is designed to fit the industry standard rails.

    You are correct. Even though the 16K B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 is a great option, if the GVWR of your 5th wheel Montana 3120RL is 16,385 you do want to give yourself a safety margin. We typically recommend having at least 1,000 lbs - 2,000 lbs of "cushion" between the GVWR rating of your trailer the the hitch so the 18K Patriot # BWRVK3255 is the perfect solution.

To see if this is the correct product for you scroll down on the product page to see if this is confirmed fit for your vehicle.
