Product was exactly what I was looking for and thanks to the hitch system previously purchased, it was fabricated for a perfect fit. Also, the first one that came in was busted up a little, etrailer immediately sent a new one out with no hassle. Great company.

Perfect fit just plug and play good quality hitch.
by: Jacob 03/15/2024
Perfect fit and function as usual from etrailer.

Great fit works good has 7way rv plug and the regular flat 4 plug no need for adapters to lose or have stolen.

Exact fit for my 06 GMC Sierra it took longer to get my spare tire down than to install the tow package. My spare was stuck.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver was easy to install and has worked just fine in pulling my several trailers. For the price, an excellent deal. The 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Connector by Hopkins was a disappointment because the cap that doubles as a dust cover and latch to the adapter has come off and missing after a few months. This cap is not replaceable, the whole connector would have to be replaced.
by: RL Adams06/20/2017
I installed this today. Took around 90 minutes but part of that was learning how to get the spare out of the way. I drilled two holes in the bottom of the bumper because of where I wanted the connector to be placed. All necessary hardware came with the unit. This was very easy to do after watching etrailer's How To video. Good job guys, great product.

Perfect! I used this on a single cab Chevy Silverado 1500. Plugged into factory trailer lights near spare tire, mounted it up, plugged in trailer and everything worked just like it should. My truck does not have a spare tire so I removed the spare tire keyhole mount and cut some of the bumper to fit the adapter. My truck did not require a ECM/PCM flash of any kind, although I hear some vehicles may have to.

in my case I have to say that first look at YouTube from there I got the video with the description of the process and the number of the part of there just went to etrailer.com I put the # alone went out it was really easy to send fantastic just wait 4 days in regular shipment for the installed only you see that plug it in thank you I hope that some more will serve..
by: Harold J.04/10/2014
Nice product ,Easy to install and then worked as supposed to . I installed in bumper as opposed to the add on bracket that came with it ,made for a easier way to plug in trailer cord.

Easy install. Black plastic cover broke of very quickly.
by: Kevin07/26/2019
Cathy T. was very good help. She set me up with the correct parts for our 2001 Chevy so we can have a 7 prong plug in at the bumper and in the box.
We got rid of the cobbled up mess that started giving us trouble and now everything works great. The plug and play took me about 1 1/2 hours to complete. We will do business again if needed. Thanks again Cathy T. and etrailer!

I bought this 7 way trailer connector to replace a broken one on my 2006 Chevy 2500HD. It was an easy install and only took a few minutes to complete. I tested it with my trailer connected and all works fine.
The shipping was super fast.
Thanks , etrailer.
by: Steve 02/24/2024
worked great thanks
by: Ed A.04/15/2019
The product was an exact one-for-one replacement. However, I ended up having to replace the female connector due to corrosion. This took a bit of time. The result was all new connections that work fine. Thanks for all your assistance.

Quick shipping. And best part they sent me the correct hitch and plug in. No complaints here!
by: Pete N.04/22/2017
Unit worked well as advertised. Old connecter had to stay (was welded) so I mounted off center a foot away. Now it protrudes 2 inches.

I use it infrequently. When I do use it, it works well. It would not mount as per instruction because of the factory offered trail hitch assy. Looks catiwhompus but does the job.

2007 Chevrolet Silverado
My 2007 Classic Silverado Crew Cab 4x4 did not have a factory hitch receiver, so I selected the 13322 Curt Hitch Receiver because it closely resembles the OEM hitch receiver and attaches to the bottom of the bumper. Installation was easy, as shown in the videos and described by other reviewers. All holes aligned perfectly. I did not remove the spare tire as it is not necessary. I used two jack stands to raise/support the receiver frame in place while I started the first bolts. I had the 22mm and 19mm sockets needed to tighten and torque the bolts/nuts. It looks great and I now am able to tow.
For the wiring I installed the 30955 Hopkins 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connectors to the bumper adjacent to the license plate. This required drilling a 2-1/8" hole in the bumper, which was time consuming, but it now resembles a factory installation. I was able to remove the license plate and connect to the factory plug.
I ordered these parts from etrailer for a number of reasons: 1) The website is intuitive and contains a tremendous amount of information for the person who is trying to research product information; 2) the selection and inventory is amazing; 3) the prices are very competitive – free shipping for orders over $99; and 4) the dedicated customer service is outstanding – the email communication is prompt. I ordered on a weekend and it was delivered by the following Friday.
A very positive first experience.
by: Jeffrey03/22/2023
The male prongs on the plug on the wire end were too short and did not engage.
The lights would not work. I bought another brand plug that the prongs were longer on and it worked fine.

Bought this 7 way connector to replace my current 5 pin. It fit into the factory wiring and came with a bracket and screws. Fast shipping and 10 minutes to install. Thanks Etrailer

Do you have a question about this Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring?
- What is the Difference Between Valley 7-Way V30607 and Hopkins 7-Way 30955
- The Hopkins part # 30955 and the Tekonsha # 74682 work the exact same way and offer the same features. The mounting brackets are a bit different, and the wire on the 74682 is covered by wire loom for a neater appearance, but the two connectors operate the same way and have the same vehicle side connector.
Now, your truck may have a knock out on the rear bumper with a pre-cut 7-Way mounting location that you might like better. No need to hang an existing bracket, the down side is you...

The box arrived opened and damaged. My wiring harness was missing. When I called to tell them my wiring harness was missing they told me that it was shipping separately but could not tell me when it would arrive. I later got an email telling me all of my items were delivered and asked me to leave a review. I still don't have my wiring harness and will not have the hitch installed by this weekend like needed because I don't know if I am ever getting my wiring harness.not to mention the box had no padding around the hitch so it's all scratched up.

I am sorry to hear that your order arrived in this condition. I see that our customer service department is currently working on a solution for you.
by: 2006 Silverado 2500HD08/03/2023
Worked exactly how described, great replacement for my risty only bracket and 7 pin connector. Fits my 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD perfect, plug and play. Bought specifically because the bracket is included. And with both 4 and 7 pin connectors, I don't have to use an adapter anymore!
by: Jason06/24/2023
I am not sure how this bracket passed quality control. It sure is a good thing I'm not planning on using it. Really disappointing to see how quality is overlooked during the packaging process. This should have never left in this condition.

One year later and no issues
by: ChrisP05/05/2024
This connector and bracket is a great product giving both 7 pin and 4 pin connections. I was able to reverse the bracket (making new holes) to allow it to fit behind the bumper cover piece that hides the hitch when not in use. The only drawback is that a wiring harness that fits the round 7 pin to the Buick Enclave rectangle plug is not available as a separate purchase. Had to buy an additional 7 pin outlet that came with the correct plug assembly and use that for my combo plug.
by: William 05/06/2024
took longer to remove the factory cover than to instal the connector. worked as advertised. I would buy this again if ever needed

2014 Chevrolet Silverado
Here's some snaps of my Hopkins #40975 installation. I can confirm that it's an identical replacement for the 2014 Silverado 1500 trailer-light blank insert, no bracket required. It took me 30 seconds to plug the Silverado's OEM 7-pin round connector (located inside the blank insert) into the #40975 Wiring Kit and snap it into the cutout. Then I tested the flat 4-pin outlet of the #40975 with a 5 dollar 4-pin LED tester from West Marine, and all light functions tested good. Shweet! To remove the OEM blank plug, it helps to reach behind it and pinch the two spring clips holding it in place... same with the #40975 if it needs to be removed for some reason. When I ordered the part from eTrailer, your site had a comment, "This will not fit your vehicle. See below for compatible parts," or words to that effect. Maybe take a look at that and remove the comment, as the #40975 is an exact fit for 2014 Silverado 1500, no bracket needed. Thanks, eTrailer team!

Although I havent towed since installing the Hopkins Pollak wiring kit since I installed it a year ago, I have tested the 4-pin connector for proper function using a 4-pin LED tester from West Marine and it checks out okay. Recently I inspected the kit for water intrusion mentioned by one of the raters, and I found no evidence of moisture inside the dual-connector compartment. On installation, I did make liberal use of the dielectric grease that accompanies the kit. Good product, easy installation, and great price.

Fit and works fine. My old one was just the 4 plug so now I don’t have to use the adapter for 7 prong anymore.

It came with it's own bracket, which is a plus. It was compatible with etrailer.com's part number C56357, which is also a plus. The self tapping screws being the only hardware coming with the item was a disappointment. I just installed etrailer.com's part number 76301 hitch receiver which has a mounting plate for brackets like this. The self tapping screws, which might have been effective, wouldn't have looked "professional." After finding some hardware which worked, it went on smoothly and fits well with the rest of the assembly.

2015 Audi Q7
Scratched my head for a while, trying to find a quality way to connect this vehicle end 4/7 wire socket to my trailer ready (almost) 2015 Audi Q7. Finally decided that it really didn’t need to be bolted, but could be hose clamped to the existing heavy duty Audi bracket.
Mounted it sideways with a 1” diameter and a 3” diameter hose clamp. Be sure to use a 3” clamp with lots of serrations that all it to tighten it down a lot.
You’ll need to drill out the small hole of the supplied bracket to allow a clamp to fit through it. The other hole is a slot, and works unaltered. Small clamp on bottom, large clamp on top.
You’ll also need to relieve a small spot on the trim piece to make room for the 4-wire door to o-en freely. This is marked as red on one of the pictures.
Looks good and should work good!

7 and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket does not fit my towing vehicle.
Today I just received my etrailer order #114979486, that consisted of: Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector (ITEM # C56431) and 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket - Vehicle End (ITEM # HM40975) for my 2020 Ford Ranger. I easily installed the harness, but the Trailer Connector Socket does not seem to fit on the rear bumper, next to the license plate.
Last week, I chatted with etrailer customer support rep and I was assured that the connector Socket (ITEM # HM40975) would fit on my 2020 Ford Ranger.
This etrailer customer support representative referenced a previous Q&A Topic titled, "Can the HM40975 be used on a 2021 Ford Ranger". I was also assured that 2020 and 2021 Rangers have identically constructed rear bumpers.
Today, I spoke with a different etrailer customer support representative. This rep told me 7-Way Trailer Connector (ITEM # C56431) was not compatible with the 2020 Ford Ranger recommend reaching out to the manufacturer directly for more information.
I'm very frustrated!!!! Can I please get a solution to this issue ASAP.

I am sorry that this has been a frustrating experience, however I do have an answer for you. The Hopkins connector part # HM40975 is technically not a fit on its own for a 2020 Ford Ranger. The short reason why is that the Ford Rangers do not have the round US Carr type of connector to plug into. Now by adding the Curt harness part # C56431 like you did, does make that round connector that you can plug into the back of the Hopkins connector that will give you the 7 and 4 way you want. Since it is using two different manufacturer products together, I do encourage you to test the 4 and 7 way to make sure all the signals are working correctly. In theory they work together, however they are not tested. The issue is going to be that the bracket that comes with the Hopkins connector is not going to match with anything on the Ford Ranger to connect to. It would just be bolted to the bumper or you could also consider using part # C57202 to install it on your hitch.

A very good option to cut down on rattle. This is a durable product that is fairly simple to install. My only complaint is the magnet to keep cover closed when not towing should be stronger. I am happy with the purchase and it looks like it will be useable for years.

- Comparing Hopkins and Pollak 4 and 7-Way Trailer Connectors
- In regards to Pollak and Hopkins, they are both great options. That said, if OEM parts give you any indication of quality then Pollak would be the better choice as they are the OEM for most manufacturer in regards to trailer connectors. Personally, I've had less issues with plug fitment when using the Pollak brand.
If you're looking for both a 4 and 7-way connector, I recommend the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket part # HM40975 which also comes with a mounting...
