Yup. Still works after a year in operation. The only thing I am unhappy with is my vehicle thinks there is always a trailer connected and the backup sensors and side sensors are automatically disabled.
This product was exactly what was portrayed on line. Wiring harness was very simple to install and works extremely well.
Works well easy plug and play
When I finally installed it about 3 months ago, the plug in connectors did not match what I had on my truck. I ended up just cutting them off and splicing them into the connector from my truck
Exactly as described. Fit perfectly into my 2014 Silverado bumper outlet.
Easy plug and play simple installation.
I installed my Curt T-Connector today to my 2018 RAM 1500 Sport 4x4 Crew Cab. The mileage on the truck is at 10679km's. Although warned that the spare tire might require removal (via web site info from fellow RAM owners) that was not the case as there was enough room to remove the OEM connector (which is the short end of the assembly) from the factory housing. The actual disconnect and re-connect took only a couple minutes. I spent a about 15 or 20min's trying different wiring run routings for the aux. four connector plug wiring run. Some tie-wraps where installed to snug things up out of the way and I was done. I also dosed the connections with a shot of Krown 77 lube/rust inhibitor. I'm in the "Great White North" so salt use on roads is a given during the winter months. A quick test run of the lights and I was done. The build quality of the T-Connector is very good..equal to OEM or better I'd say.
No issues thank you
Easy to install
Unfortunately, the product ordered did not fit my application and I will be returning!

I wanted to ask if your 2001 Chevy Silverado came with the tow package? Did you already have a factory seven way? If not, the part # C59236 would be the better fit.
Fast delivery, and easy to find products. Second trailer hitch I bought from e-trailer. Great products
Awesome!! I bought an OPT7 triple LED light bar for my Chevy Colorado and I didn’t want to splice wires or lose a whole lot of time trying to figure out how to wire it up so I googled and I came across a gentleman who used this product and Im very thankful for this connection and my light bar works smoothly and I have full use of the reverse camera AND I don’t have any wire mess outside or underneath my truck! Easy to install, my first time doing this and it literally took me about 2 minutes, if that! Definitely would recommend this product to anyone with a truck!! Thank you guys!!
Was exactly as stated in description. Just unplugged old plug and plugged in new one. I had two plugs to replace and added an extra "T" plug for another 4 prong. It only took less than 15 minutes to install all 3. Customer service is wonderful. Everything I have bought from ETrailer is top notch and delivered on time or earlier.

Working GREAT. Easy to install
Perfect fit!
Order class iii hitch and wiring harness for my 13 keep grand Cherokee . Came next day. Installed in 20 minutes. Great product. High quality and easy install
Product was shrink wrapped, taped and boxed ver professionally. Website also very easy to use
Would definitely recommend to anyone
This is a great vehicle to trailer wiring harness just plug it in and you're ready to go and that's all they are to it plug and go and I recommend it.
Easy to install works great shipping and communications was fantastic. Now my USMC LED light hitch cover is on the truck without an adapter.
Perfect fit. Took 20 minutes to install wire harness and hitch receiver.
Easy instructions, installation was a breeze. Very important to torque bolts down to spec. Also will need to have dealer “flash” vehicle to activate trailer lights. 5 stars
Easy to install and tucks away nicely next to the hitch. No hanging wires and really clean look
Arrived on time and just what I need.
Did not match my plug into car. So could not use and returned.

Can you please provide a picture of the underside where the plug is supposed to be located? For vehicles with the factory tow package; your install may require additional components or may be used as a replacement harness.

This 7- and 4-pole trailer connector eliminates the need for an adapter and allows you to tow a trailer with either a 7- or 4-pole plug. Socket connects to your vehicle's OEM wiring system and mounts with included bracket.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.
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!
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.

Oh! It is definitely not how we want the bracket to arrive to you. I will have our Customer Service team reach out.
This company is an absolute pleasure to work with. Item was delivered fast and exactly as described. This is the second item I’ve bout from etrailer the first being a 9000lb rated hitch. Will order again from these folks when if I need stuff for my truck.
Easy installation and very helpful installation video.

One year later and no issues
It was easy to install and took care of the issue I had of one of the trailer light segments not working.
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.
took longer to remove the factory cover than to instal the connector. worked as advertised. I would buy this again if ever needed
This thing couldn't be better. Easy mounting. Plug and play. I can now connect any trailer I want. Love it, love it, love it!

This was a major upgrade for me at the time. A year later, Ive hauled massive loads across the country, and this connector harness works perfectly every time
I bought this because I needed the bracket and it was the quickest way to get it they do not stock the bracket alone. We where installing tommy lifts and needed t move the original connector which was installed on the bumper.
Plug and play baby! 2 minute install. Finally an easy fix to something!
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.
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.

This product has been working well for the past year. I feel this was a smart purchase.
This dual connector adds a professional looking touch to our tow wiring installation
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!

Good installation approach for q7’s. Keeps water from collecting in wiring junctions.
Item received as described. It was simply plug and play. Out with the old, and the new was an exact replacement. Very satisfied.
The self tapping screws that come with the mount are junk,
The product is 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.
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.

Works fine- no issues.
Great product, it was just what I was needing to complete my project.
Came in on time. The parts were in good shape and fit perfectly.
Another easy installation old one out doing in 15 minutes
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.
Fast shipping. Nice quality product

1 year & still works great, very easy plug & play setup. I recommend putting a small amount of white lithium grease on those connecting, helps protest against rusting.
