Mounting bracket for 7-way standard connectors. Includes screws and nuts.
Features:
Specs:
Note: Does not work with Curt 7-way plugs, use C67UR instead.
For a no-drill option, use this part with the Short Bracket (#18140) or Long Bracket (#18136). Clamp the short or long bracket to the hitch and attach the trailer connector mount to the no-drill bracket. A few Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch Class III, IV and V trailer hitches have the no-drill brackets already installed on them.

Mounting bracket for 7-way standard connectors. Includes screws and nuts.Good sturdy bracket. The holes did not line up with my 7 way electrical connector. I fixed it by drilling new holes and now everything is attached securely.
This did not fit the factory connector despite etrailer's recommendation of it. My mechanic was able to modify the factory bracket to fit the hitch at a reasonable cost. When I tried to return the item etrailer would not provide a shipping label because the shipping cost was more than the item cost. I asked for a credit and they would only provide one if I returned the item at my expense.I found this to be unacceptable and will no longer do business with them. They are a definite outlier on this, in my experience.
Nice piece but I am now aware that this bracket wasn't compatible with the 7-way kit I installed. I made it work by drilling more holes but be aware, not all brackets work with all 7-way plugs.
I read several reviews beforehand that stated the bracket is a little thin and would flex when connecting the trailer lights, so I ordered two of these and coupled them together to make it a stronger bracket. (Just have to open up the corresponding holes in one of the brackets so the screws will still feed through. Now it's much stronger and won't bend at all when making a connection. I decided to mount the bracket sitting on top of the bracket weld of my Draw-tite hitch so that it didn't hang so low below the hitch and risk getting damaged coming off a curb or hitting a low spot in the road. I have a 2011 Toyota Highlander and used an Exacto knife to cut out some of the plastic body panel so the harnessed wiring would fit through. Looks almost factory style to me. And it works great!
Hello ,I have not received my hitch yet. I received the wiring brackets. I will review after I have installed my order.....
You need another bracket to connect this properly to the receiver bar. Would have been nice to know. It also does not work with the 7 way connector because the holes don't match up.
I modified the bracket to facilitate installation of 7 prong adapter on 2006 Expedition. Had to use some heat to change the angle to 45 degrees, and cut a couple slots for the clamps, but works when nothing else did. Clamped directly onto the tow bar, and still sturdy after 800 miles.

One year out still solid.
Worked well. Had to flip it around and drill a couple of new holes in order to mount the wiring harness and keep it hidden within the bumper enclosure.
Could not use. This is not the correct part for the T-One vehicle wiring harness (118266). The website stated this one fit my Frontier and the part number called out in the wiring harness did not, so I ordered this one. etrailer order checker did not catch it either. I was able to find the correct bracket locally.

I have seen that part # PK12711U is a better alternative to this bracket. The oval shaped holes make it more compatible with more harnesses. I am glad to know that found something that worked for you.
Used with Volvo OEM 7-pin/4-pin wiring harness. Mounting holes aligned perfectly, but could not use included screws (too short).
easy to install, but not as sturdy as I would like. I find myself having to use both hands to make sure the plug is all the way in.
The agent chat with me give me the wrong part # to order. After watching the installation Video for the Hitch. I realize it was a different part #. But I have just have to Drill the holes on the bracket to match the 7 Pin connector housing
Fit was perfect for the sealed pigtail I ordered.
Great service thanks Kathy. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Quoted upwards to $1k for installation of hitch and brake controller. Video from etrailer made it easy and saved a ton of $.
Products exactly like it describe very good quality but does not exact work with out modification
1 Curt 7-way T-connector For Factory Tow Package need to modify it to make it fit
This product is still working great after the first year and was easy to install.
Bracket and receiver fit perfectly on me 2024 Sprinter 2500 crew.
Bracket worked as advertised.
This fit the existing bracket on my Curt hitch perfectly. Holds 7 pin trailer connector snugly.
Bracket was a little difficult to mount where it should go.
My first order didn't come with the mounting bracket for the 7 way plug, and so I emailed and they told me I needed to purchase this bracket and the holes and the size doesn't match up with the plug.

An alternate bracket that would work better would be part # HM48625 as it gives you more slots to match to the connector.
This worked great and has held up well after a year of us.
Part of my 22 Bronco hitch install. The bracket mounted just fine to the hitch plate but the holes were no where near the same pattern as the Tekonsha supplied plug receiver. Not a big deal as I just drilled out the plastic from the back and made new mounting holes. Other than that should work just fine.
I called for support when ordering, because it wasn't clear what bracket I needed for the stock 7-pin on my 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. The person I spoke with recommended this bracket, along with another to attach it to the Curt XD receiver hitch that I purchased at the same time. I ended up not using this bracket at all, because the stock 7-pin requires a specific opening where it twists and locks into place and this one is not compatible. No even close. Instead, I cut the stock bracket off of the old hitch and welded it to a plate that I attached to the bottom of the bumper with some self-tapping screws. If you buy this bracket, you also need to buy a compatible 7-pin to use with it.
