Question:
Is there a better solution for my stock 2017 Tundra 7-pole round connector? The connector cover opens to the right. The keeper tab on the cover tends to pull the plug to the right causing intermittent connection issues on the plug. Typically I use some duct tape to hold it in. Just looking for a cleaner method. Why the cover doesnt open to the top and use the keeper + gravity to hold in the plug seems a design issue for the Tundras. The trailer plug is a Bargman cable. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
I believe the Tundra uses the # HM40975 for the trailer connector. Typically they fit pretty tightly, so we haven't got much in the way of comments about folks having the difficulty you describe.
For a more traditional-style connector that would still provide both a 7-way and a 4-pole connector, I'd recommend the use the # C55774 replacement connector. This trailer connector assembly uses a top-hinged cover/keeper for the trailer plug, and would very likely work better than what you currently have. This connector assembly would be a plug and play installation.
The # PK11893 you'd looked at would also work, but it wouldn't provide a 4-pole trailer connector, which could come in handy.
