Easy to install, I didn't use the two self-tapping screws, the tow hitch already had a plate on it to attach the mounting bracket. It would have been nice if they would have included two small bolts with washers and nuts to attach.

Great product with easy installation

Very please and no issues



by:

This worked ok for me on my trailer light install, but after a year the black screws that came with the kit are rusting badly. I didn't use the silver screws that came with the kit, needed longer ones, so can't say how they would hold-up......

RUST on screws is still an issue on screws. I painted them a few times with black spray Rust-Oleum....



by:

Great product and great price! No issues since installing on my 2022 Buick Enclave!



by:

Works as it should. when it was shipped I was put in the box with the hitch receiver and got crushed. the small screws were missing probable from the box getting destroyed. I made it work but was disappointed



by:

Made a good location and solid mount for the wiring for my trailer harness.



by:

Works great if you pay attention and mount it properly the first time, lol. No issues with the product at all.



by:

The tow package I purchased last year, fits great and installed perfectly. It works perfectly with my electronic under-dash brake controller.

The kit came with everything that I needed and instructions were easy to read I had the entire kit installed in about 40 minutes it's work Flawless for me for over a year and I tow a variety of trailers the plug is never failed due to workmanship it is still water tight.

The receiver cap spring still has excellent tension to help hold the plug into place, the only gripe I have is that I should have installed stainless mounting screwswhen I installed the kit because the mounting starting are starting to rust a little, but that's my oversight and is nothing to do with the kit and its ability to provide flawless service.

I highly recommend this product if you're like me and was looking for an oem Plug and Play setup!

5 stars!



by:

None of the hardware displayed in the picture was included with the bracket. I found the needed hardware in my shop.

The hardware is definitely included. I will have our Customer Service reach out to you.



by:

Turned out my factory bracket did fit the wiring harness and the bracket worked out great, it fit perfectly where it was installed.



by:

My F150 had an OEM 4 pin trailer plug and hitch.
The 118242 - 7 pin connector with wiring harness is the ticket. The hardest part of the install was dropping the spare tire. The plugs connect directly to the factory plugs and the harness length is the correct length.
The 3035-P brake controller connector harness was just as easy. Plugs right in to the OEM plug next to the ECM connector and the other end into the brake controller.
The PK12711U-26 - 7 pin bracket and hardware kit fastens directly the OEM bracket that is on the hitch. My truck had an OEM 4 pin trailer towing set up with the hitch. The OEM hitch had the bracket welded on it to attach the 7 pin mounting bracket to it.
These kits make this install very easy and professional looking.
If I have one complaint, the hardware kit to attach the 7 pin connector bracket is set up to fasten the bracket directly to the bumper with 2 - self tapping screws provided in the kit. The kit also includes 4 #12 machine screws with toothed washer nuts to attached the 7 pin connector to the bracket. This is fine if your truck hitch doesn't have an attaching bracket welded to it. The kit should included in it 6 #12 machine screws and nuts along with the 2 self tapping screws. Since my OEM hitch actually had a bracket welded to it to attach the 7 pin bracket to it, I had to use two other #12 screws and nuts to attach the 7 pin bracket to the OEM bracket on the hitch. Not a big deal, just a thought.
It took me about 2 hours, start to finish to install the 7 pin connector, trailer controller, and add the two relays in the OEM relay/fuse box under the hood.
I highly recommend these kits.



by:

It was suggested I purchase this bracket to assist in mounting my 7-way trailer harness (item #118253) to my 2010 Honda pilot. When I tried to attach the bracket underneath and behind the bumper, I discovered it was too tall and very difficult to fit where it was required. I also found that the bracket is a 90-degree bend and will not go flush against the bumper wall. The bumper wall runs at an angle and you would need a bracket with an approx 35-degree angle to fit flush against the bumper, that's important if you want a professional clean looking mounting of the trailer harness (7- way insert) like I installed (see attached pics). So forget this bracket, Just save your money and mount onto the bumper wall, plenty thickness and you get a clean look...Maybe one day they will make the proper bracket for such an installation...



by:

Good part, got the job done.



by:

The product delivered was exactly as advertised, Delivery was super fast and was easy to install, Thanks!



by:

Bought for a 2018 Nissan Frontier. Fit the wire plug perfectly and the Screws and nuts to secure the plug to the bracket were fine. The two screws to attach the bracket to the vehicle were way too small to use. They wouldn't work on the mounting tab on the Draw-Tite hitch or the factory holes under the bumper. I suppose if your creating new holes they would be okay. Appears to be a quality piece and I'm very satisfied with it.



by:

Very good fit and holding up well.



by:

Works great



by:

The mounting bracket for my trailer connector was easy to attach and worked very well with my trailer connector.

Still working great.



by:

Had to make a few adjustments but worked on my 2021 Hyundai Palisade



by:

Although this bracket comes with tapping screws to mount to a metal undersurface structure, it only has 4 screws for the 7 point hitch device to screw into it and no additional screws to mount to the hitch itself. It should come with 6 locking screws for that purpose. I had to use 2 to mount it to the hitch and 2 to mount the 7 point hitch device into the bracket, leaving 2 spots open. I went to my local hardware store and autozone and couldn’t find these exact screws and etrailer doesn’t sell them as a separate order.



by:

This mounts perfectly!



by:

Great product and easy installation!



by:

Product went together as described and when attached to the short no drill mount bracket provided a sturdy mount for the 7way plug.



by:

Easily installed on my 2021 Chevy Blazer RS. Has held up will with one year of use.



by:

Just the right part for the job! Perfect fit for my 7-way harness and on my draw-tite hitch!

  • Trailer Hitch And Wiring Harness For A 2020 GMC Acadia
    A great option for your 2020 GMC Acadia is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76023. It's sleek look blends-in nicely and looks like it came with your Acadia stock when you bought it. Included is a customer's installed hitch as an example. This hitch is powder coated for superior corrosion resistance and the 2" receiver can accommodate a variety of hitch accessories like steps # BBS-1102 and bike racks # KU74FR just list a few. With towing being the ultimate goal however,...

  • How To Secure Pollak 7-Way Trailer Connector
    In order to secure a standard 7-way trailer connector like those made by Pollak you will need to use the Mounting Bracket and Installation Hardware part # PK12711U. This could then be combined with the Curt No-Drill Bracket part # C57202 for a complete drill-free installation.

  • What Mounting Bracket Fits the Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector
    A Pollack Trailer Connector like # PK11893, should fit in the 6 and 7-Way Trailer Connector Mounting Box, # 18159, without modifying either part. However, there have been some cases where mounting bracket holes did not line up quite right. In those cases, we usually recommend the Mounting Bracket for Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector, # PK12711U. The elongated holes are more universal than regular round holes. You can use the Pollak mounting bracket with No-Drill Mount Bracket,...

  • Wiring to tow a Pair of Trailers With a 2009 Honda Pilot
    The Honda Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring # 118253 will upgrade your 2009 Honda Pilot with tow package from a 4-way to a 7-way, and you'd need mounting bracket # PK12711U to mount the 7-way. This bracket now comes with the mounting hardware included so the other part you mentioned is not needed. To go from a 7-way to your boat trailer with a 5-way and utility trailer with a 4-way you would want the handy 7-Pole to 4-Pole and 5-Pole Adapter # 37385, which will fulfill all of your wiring...

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness and Brake Controller Recommended for 2016 Honda Pilot
    The Tekonsha # 118286 is the 7-way wiring harness I'd recommend. Your Pilot is already prewired for a brake controller, so once the 7-way is installed as shown in the linked video, you can install a brake controller later using the connector located under the dash near the top of the brake pedal as shown in the provided photo. Once you decide to get a brake controller, I'd recommend a proportional controller like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty, part # RED24FR. You'll also need the # RED59FR...

    All 2020 Nissan Pathfinders come from the factory prewired for a brake controller and a 7-way trailer connector, though it might lack the 7-way and the relays needed to activate the tow package. You will need a brake controller. If your vehicle doesn't already have a 7-way, you can easily install one using part # 118273. You will also need a # PK12711U bracket and a # 18136 no-drill mount if your hitch doesn't already have a trailer connector mounting tab on it. For a brake controller,...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2018 Ford Explorer
    If you just need a simple 4-way trailer connector on your 2018 Ford Explorer then I recommend the Tekonsha, part # 118540. It plugs in to connectors under the rear of your Explorer on the passenger's side. On the other hand if you need a 7-way connector I recommend part # 118272. It plugs into the same location. If you want the best of both worlds you can get the 7-way harness, part # 118272 that I mentioned, and not use the connector it comes with but instead use part # HM40950. This...

This hitch installs behind the bumper so it will be almost completely hidden. The Premier models have a different exhaust which won't work with the Curt and etrailer options so this is really your only choice.

  • Mounting Bracket for a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 1999 Ford F-150
    What you can do is use a secondary bracket, like # C57202 for a long one, or # 18140 for a shorter one. These both attach to the cross tube of the trailer hitch. You would then attach the Pollak Mounting Bracket # PK12711U to the end. I have included a link to a video showing how the secondary bracket attaches to the hitch cross tube.

    For a 2016 GMC Acadia that doesn't have the tow package, we do indeed offer an option that's pretty simple to install. I'd recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller, part # C51180. The brake controller would use your smart phone as the user interface, meaning nothing would need to bolted under the dash in the truck cab. To install the Echo, you'll need to install a functioning 7-way trailer wiring harness, part # 118271 which includes the fuses and relays necessary for activating...

  • Special Drill Bit for Drilling Into the Bumper of a 1992 Chevy C/K Series Truck
    For hard to drill metal surfaces I recommend a rotabroach bit. We have several of these, see link, but they will probably be too large for for a 7-way mounting bracket. You can also try to use self-tapping screws like # 1172904 instead of drilling. For adding new wiring and brakes, I have included a link to a video that should help. For a 1992 Chevy C/K series truck, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular controllers because it is easy to set up and easy to use.
