The part fit very well and seems sturdy enough. I used it last summer and it still seems to be holding up well.
Received the part I ordered,was exactly what I needed.Enclosed is a pic of it installed.Thanks !
It does thw job but I might try another mounting method in future
Excellent fit was great no issues
This is a pretty elegant way to mount the 7-pin connector, especially compared to other options.
Sent without the parts that go with it to install.
The two 90 mm carriage bolts are not heavy enough to start with and one stripped out when i started to put torque onto the nut. I am in chat right now trying to get a replacement.
Instructions were ambiguous for all kinds of applications.
Once you start tightening the bottom plate in, it bends into place as tight as you need it. No wiggle here.

The bracket looks great, Jonathan. Thanks for including the pics, especially the back view of what the bracket looks like.
Works great! Makes getting to the 7-way lots easier!

This item is still holding up very well and still looks like new.
This thing is janky. I'm using it on an etrailer hitch and it doesn't really match at all. The way it clamps to the hitch is not very secure, the spacers are funky and one of the bolts bent as I was trying to get it to not jiggle loose. It feels like cheap junk you get from Amazon or eBay.
I fear this thing will just fall off while I'm driving and cause havoc.
If I could give it 4.5 stars I would. Only less than 5 because the metal could be thicker. On the other hand, I could really tighten the screws at the receiver and bend the metal flush with the thicker collar and there is no wiggle. I had previously installed the Hopkins combo 4-flat with 7-round connector and it fit just fine as etrailer said it would. The only negative is Hopkins doesn't provide stainless steel screws for their connector. I also didn't install the harness according to the excellent video for my 2005 Sienna. Instead I ran all the wires inside the van by bringing them up through a grommetted hole already right where the connector belongs and then tucking them behind the trim panels all the way to the front. The door sill pieces come off easily to route wires under them.
IT fit okay. The adaptors fit strangely but it was tight.
Rocks, curbs, parking stops...Bend and destroy your last electric brake car-side connector bracket. Finally there's a solution for those of us with plastic bumpers who don't have a lifted 4x4 or stock through-bumper socket. This bracket safely puts the vehicle side connector at the same height as the receiver itself!
I installed it on a 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser with factor hitch but this could work for my wife's Subaru so I'll probably get her one too. Anyone who needs to install a trailer wiring connector on low vehicles or on vehicles with rubber/plastic bumpers now can have a better solution.
After ruining 3 L-brackets and $30 connectors I was about to build my own but gladly Curt created a solution. Installation of just the bracket was less than 15 minutes. If you have an existing 2" tube-style hitch. Without measuring the installation was universal for 2" receiver hitches. The only issue might be if your receiver hitch and bracket is too close to the hitch crossmember but I believe the bracket was flexible enough to adjust.
In my opinion, the bracket could be 1/8" steel plate in case you accidentally back the trailer into it but time will tell if that becomes an issue. The bracket comes with fastening hardware which presumably is stainless with lock nuts but including thread lock compound might be a good option. I was able to snug up the bolts enough that the bracket no longer flexed. We're having some rainy weather that's preventing me from rewiring the new female socket connector that I also purchased.
On a side note, my original female socket had the 4-pin connector built into it. Instead this time, I ordered the Curt #57674 4-Way to 7-way RV Blade & 4-Way Flat socket. One important not is if you use this option, the Curt Bracket includes a mounting bracket that will separately hold the 4-pin plug. It may be a cleaner install to use the Hopkins integrated 4-way/7-way adapter instead of using Curt's side mount bracket for the bracket in this review.
Overall, this will buy me some time before I have to upgrade my Land Cruiser to steel bumpers. Essentially this $20 product saved me from having to lift the vehicle to deal with the ground clearance issue. Preserving the low center of gravity and street appearance was important. Even with that said, if you do lift your vehicle its just really nice to get this electrical work up out of harm's way.
All in all, kind of a no brainer easy replacement and because there's a gap in the mounting bracket for the female socket, you may not even have to rewire to upgrade. Just slide the wires of the old socket through the gap and reinstall the screws.
Nice black powder coat finish. Solid feel. Doesn't fit.
This Curt easy mount bracket doesn't fit my Curt class 3 trailer hitch #13355. Either the bracket is designed wrong or the chain hooks on the hitch are welded too close to the receiver collar. Can't install the screw and the bracket sticks out oddly at the bottom because of this.
One picture shows the gap of the bracket to the receiver collar and the screw unable to go through the hole, and the other picture has a closeup of the chain hook / bracket interface.
Excellent fit and a good solution for my 2010 Mazda CX-7. Using a standard 7-way drop down L bracket wasn't going to work for my car.
Super easy to install. It's actually is more rigid/solid than I thought. Comes with all the hardware you'll need. Definitely a good compliment to a hitch that doesn't have a bracket welded on.

still going strong a year later. Still supper happy.
Well made with a great finish and all quality installation hardware was included. Worked perfectly with the new Curt Class III 2 inch Receiver Hitch. Very easy install and while highly detailed instructions were included it was not really necessary as it’s very intuitive.

The bracket looks great on your hitch! What kind of trailer are you usually towing?
Product is good basic design, remains to been seen how quickly bracket bends or distorts when plugging/ unplugging 7 way as thickness and strength is questionable.
It would have been a plus if product info informed buyers that some, including my Stowaway brand anti rattle hitch bracket cannot be used when using this c58000 wire holder. I have installed my anti rattle device upside down but not sure yet if going to work.

after a year of daily trailer towing I can report that my concerns of the lightweight metal used in build has been a issue with bending so far no splitting of metal just keep bending back, also mounting hardware light duty. would I buy this product again yes but would seek a more secure way of mounting
This bracket works well, but being at the same elevation as the receiver
opening. No more hitting the welded on RV connector bracket and tearing
up the connector. I cut my old bracket off as you can still see part of
it on my hitch. Painted the exposed metal to prevent rust.
A couple of suggestions for those installing this bracket. First use an
adjustable wrench and bend the top and bottom edges inward so the
bracket fits tight on your receiver end. Doing this will keep the
strain on the Stainless Steel M8 bolts used as they are too small to
bend the bracket edge and will snap off. Second use the appropriate
size metric wrench or socket to turn the nut. The nuts have an insert
to keep them from working off while driving, so no lock washers are used.
Installing the RV 7-way connector is just like installing it in any
other bracket, just locate the appropriate holes for your connector and
insert the screws. If your 7-way connector is plastic do not over
tighten the nuts. Installing the 4 or 5-way connector is even easier to
install.

It has work great as expected. Did sell vehicle in March
Unusual way to install a bracket but there’s nothing under the bumper cover to mount a generic style mount.
Bought this to accommodate the factory 7 wire connector on my Toyota Tacoma along with a new hitch (my original hitch was rusted). Didn't realize the original connector slid in from the bottom, but this was easily modified to handle that by cutting the bottom and drilling 2 new holes for the factory connector. I could have used a new connector harness that was designed for this, but I didn't have one. Easy modification on this to make it work.
I will say it feels a little flimsy, so I'll be looking to reinforce it later on as time permits.
This is a good product with one serious caveat. It does make a neat way to mount your electric connections in a modern vehicle with lots of plastic in the rear bumper area. However, the thin gauge metal is prone to severe rusting if you live in snow country where roads are salted. I just replaced a 5 year old unit with the same thing because it's the only bracket I've found that does as good a job. The original unit was used with a Curt Echo brake controller and on the last trip it was so rusted that it would barely support the connections. Fortunately, the bolts and nuts that hold everything together are stainless steel so you can get them off for replacement when needed. The most challenging aspect to replacement is getting the bolts in that squeeze the bracket parts together to hold the whole thing to the hitch receiver tube. Depending on the vehicle, you may need to put the bolts in with heads down and it is tricky to get the nuts on when clearance to the plastic bumper is limited, like in our 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. In such a case I would recommend Not mounting the 4 and 7 way wiring connectors until you've mounted the unit on the reciever. Then you're not working against the weight of the plugs during a tricky installation.
This bracket is made to be very easy to install but I did have some difficulty attaching my "Buyers Products Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way to 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat" to due to the way the hitch on my 2004 Toyota Sienna is set up. It still was pretty quick to install with the adaptor I mentioned above, about 30-45 minutes. I recommend using this bracket for most of all of the 4-way to 6/7-way and 4-way adaptors on etrailer, since the 4-way part of the adaptors is just friction fitted into the adaptor and may fall out over time.
This is a great option when adding a hitch to a car that doesn’t come with a factory mounting point for your trailer 7 line trailer power hookup.

After one year, the product still worked great. It was stable and held up to use.
