Helpful Expert Reply:
The Hopkins 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring part # HM40975-11998 does not include the wires from the connector to the trailer. The Hopkins will give you a 7-way plug on specific vehicles with a bundle of wires at the rear near the bumper from the factory. The long pigtail with different colored wires you see in the photos will connect to the factory bundle of wires. Once you have the 7-way plug installed on the vehicle you can use a trailer end connector like part # A10-7W10 which will plug into the 7-way plug on the vehicle from the trailer. This harness measures 10 foot.
The Hopkins 7-Way Plug fits the following vehicles:
2015 - 2020 Ford E-Series Cutaway E-350 without factory tow package
2015 - 2020 GMC Canyon without factory 7-Way
2015 - 2020 Chevrolet Colorado without factory 7-Way
I have also attached an installation video for your reference. Please let me know your , year make and model and I can make a vehicle specific recommendation for a 7-way plug.
