This works great! Easy to install. I would ask that a small tube of dielectric grease be included.
Thank you for another GREAT purchase from Etrailer.com

I ordered and paid for expedited shipping. Although I have finally received my product it is 2 weeks or longer past the time I needed it. I realize that shipping is not always your issue but I started receiving “how was your product” and “rate your product” literally weeks before I received it. I had a time frame that I would have time to do this job and that time frame has come and went a long time ago. If you guys can’t handle the logistics, use [online vendor] to market your goods.



by:

The product itself is quality and works as advertised. Mine didn’t come with the cover plate. Shame on me for not reaching out to etrailer, I assumed I misread the product and bought the cover plate off Amazon. Don’t be like me and pay another $7 you shouldn’t have had to.



by:

Easy Peasy install! Knock out the useless factory cover and thread the wires in, mount the connector to the truck bed and route the wires.

Recommend having the spare tire out of the way and getting some of the dielectric grease for the connection underneath. This kit has everything you need to get the job done. Very Happy etrailer sells this.

Used to to wire in my FourWheel Hawk camper on my new 2024 Chevrolet 2500hd, very easy to use and eliminates running wire from camper to truck battery. Since I converted my 12 volt batteries in camper to lithium, I do not tie them into truck battery.

Has been working for a year with no problems, use it to run the camper clearance and running lights. Also use the 12 volt supply to run refrigerator when traveling, plug it into lithium batteries when camping.



by:

Really simple and straight forward install. Didn't have to drop the spare tire or remove a tail light. My truck had the hole pre-drilled so it was a simple remove the cover in the bed, route the wires, make the lower connections and done.



by:

On-time delivery, nicely packaged and easy installation

Easy install the only thing that would make the kit better is to supply dielectric grease along with it

by:

Product was a great factory fit for my 2022 GMC 2500hd. Install was straightforward. A little dielectric grease on the connections and zip ties to hold up the extra length and we were all set. The toughest part was trying to get the spare tire down to get more working room as the key fitting for the tire was corroded and had to use spray to loosen it up!



by:

Plug n Play so easy to install.



by:

Fit perfectly, easy to install, plug and play. 20 minute install.



by:

Fits perfectly in the bed after blank-off cover removed. Easy installation!



by:

Plug and play, worked as advertised, the cover plate works better than having the never needed 4 prong plug, should make them available at local distributors.
I already had a wye in my wiring harness with a wire that was meant to have a plug attached, I simply unplugged the factory wire and added this new harness, no need to disconnect the bumper plug.
GMC spent more money than I did supplying the harness and dummy socket, they should have just installed the working socket…oh well.
Good idea to use the grease to prevent corrosion.



by:

Put this harness in in preparation for a fifth wheel. The only way this install would have been easier is if I had my son in law do it. Very easy install.



by:

Works great,took about an hour to install. The video is right, spare tire removal would have made it easier.

Thanks for sharing your personal experience -- nice to know what is really necessary :)



by:

I took no more than an hour to completely install. The under the bed wiring was exactly as it needed to be to join in the wiring. It looks factory installed.



by:

One year review - This harness has lived up to my expectations. You know it's quality-built when you don't need to think about it. When I hook up my fifth wheel to the truck, it simply works...every time. What else can I say? If you need this harness, you won't be disappointed.



by:

Shipping was fast, the etrailer video help give me the confidence to install myself. But to be honest the extension is well made and self explanatory to install. Works prefect.



by:

Simple Plug and Play installation. It really cant get any easier than this.
Quality parts as good as OEM

I added this wiring harness to the inside of my truck bed and couldn’t be happier. I have a fifth wheel RV so this addition kept me from having to run the RV’s cable over the tailgate.

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch For 2024 Chevy 2500 4dr Crew Cab With 6-3/4' Bed
    Hey Justin, I can definitely help with this. I do recommend going with a sliding 5th wheel hitch since your truck is not a long bed. The slider helps with clearance on tight turns. What I recommend is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3775. This is made specifically for the factory pucks in your Chevy, so installation is simple. The slider allows for 12" of front-to-back travel. Overall the B&W hitches are super solid. The head is fully articulating so you get smooth...

    Congrats on the new truck Steve! To add a gooseneck hitch to your 2025 GMC Sierra 2500, I recommend the Curt item # C60642. This gooseneck hitch is the same one GM installs in their brand new trucks. The custom fit brackets install into preexisting holes in your Sierra's frame. I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video to help you get this hitch set up and show you what it looks like once installed.

    No, I am sorry it will not. Your B&W item # BWGNRK1012 stops fitting the Sierra 3500's after 2019 when GM changed the frame size. For your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 you will need the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNRK1020. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

    Hey Nicholas! What exactly are your questions? If you're looking for a complete kit with rails and a 5th wheel hitch I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BW67XR. This comes with a custom base rail kit for your Silverado along with the Patriot slider so you have clearance for turns with the standard bed. If you don't have wiring in the bed you will also want the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C53CR. If you have a different question, or you're...

  • Do You Have a In-Bed 7-Way Connector w/ Camera Inputs?
    Hey Rex! Sorry, we do not carry anything like that. What you're describing sounds like the Trailer Tow Harness Connector 13530416, which is a GM OEM part. I have never seen it come with the in-bed 7-way connector like the Curt item # C53CR, you referenced. What you would need to do is source that connector from a vendor who carries OEM parts and then pair it up with the Curt item # C53CR. They both use the USCAR 7-way socket which is that circular connector. It's been standard amongst...

This gooseneck hitch is custom fit for the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 3500's without the tow package. It fits both the long and standard bed models.

    Congrats on the new truck! Since you have the shorter 6-3/4' bed in your new 2025 Silverado 2500 it is recommended to go with a slider hitch like the Curt A16 item # C16521 you referenced. This will give you the proper turning clearance so you don't have to worry about hitting your truck when you're making tight turns. There's two different configurations of this hitch depending on whether or not your 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 came with the factory puck system or not. I have listed them...

  • What 5th Wheel Rail Kit For Reese 5th Wheel Hitch On 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hello Rob, thanks for reaching out. The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30051 installs to industry standard 5th wheel rails. We do offer a kit for your 2022 Silverado 2500, and for that I recommend the following: - B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2505 This comes with all hardware, brackets and industry standard rails.

    Yes, it will! The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3270 attaches to industry standard 5th wheel rails. Since you're driving such a newer truck and using a Reese 16k hitch already, I seriously doubt the rail system you have is old enough to not be compatible with the Patriot hitch. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C53CR. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck...

  • Can I Add A Second 7-Way Outlet To A 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500HD?
    Hello Terry and Pam, thanks for getting in touch. So we do not have any kind of 7-way that would have two outlets. The best way to do this would be to add a 7-way to the bed using part # C53CR. This way you can have the factory 7-way on the back bumper, and another 7-way in the bed. This is the only way we are aware of to safely add a second 7-way outlet to a 2024 Chevy 3500, or any truck for that matter.

    Hi Richard; have you tried testing the pin on the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck # C53CR 7-way for power? I would start there. Since the light works on your trailer with the 7-way at the bumper I expect it to work with the gooseneck wiring as well. If you don't have power on the reverse light pin I would double check the connections. Go ahead and unplug the wiring and plug it back in to make sure everything is properly seated, this is likely the issue. This includes the connector in the truck...

Locking it out will turn the Revolution into a standard pin box and there's no compatibility issues with it and the Companion item # BWRVK3500 when you do this.

    Hey Steve, yes with 7-way kits like the part # C53CR that you referenced that adds a second 7-way to a vehicle both of them are active so they both can be used at same time like you asked about. Only issue is potentially you might overdraw the circuits if there's too many lights being powered. Does your trailer have LED tailights by chance? If any of the lights are LED that wouldn't be something to worry about.
