Replacement 7-Way and 4-Way Connector Bracket for 2008 Ford F-250

Updated 09/26/2024 | Published 06/13/2019

Question:

I have a 2008 F250 with factory 7/4 pin and hitch. The sheet metal mounting tab, for the connectors, has rusted through. Do you have a direct replacement bracket, for this unit? If not, with the original wiring, at the rear of the Ford plugs, work with your 7/4 connector and mounting tab?

To replace just the mounting bracket for the factory 7-Way/4-Way connector on your 2008 Ford F-250 the Pollak # HM40978 will work perfectly. This isn't an exact OEM replacement but it will fit with the existing connector and mount beneath the bumper just like the one you have.

If you do happen to also need the connector itself the Hopkins 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975 that you were looking at will indeed plug right into the factory US Car connector port under the truck. This does include the mentioned bracket as well.

WILL THIS BRACKET WORK ON A 2024 F250?

@Roger Hey Roger, it does look like the Bracket # HM40978 is intended as a factory replacement for the 2024 F-250, as well, yes. As long as your existing setup looks like this, it will be a perfect match.
