Tow a trailer with either a 7-way or 4-way plug with this dual vehicle-end connector. Included pigtail harness hardwires into your vehicle and the connector end mates with the 7-pole socket to form a weathertight seal.by: WillyGDocVT02/11/2024
Quality is good, but wire colors aren’t standard and there were no instructions in the package for how to wire. I had to google standard pin outs and colors. Pigtail is too short, by about 2 feet and I had to splice twice to make it reach the inside of my vehicle (GMC SAVANA). Once I did all that it worked perfectly but what should have been a 1 hour job turned into an all day project. Do not recommend. Go to your nearest RV store.

The service provided by George and Lacey was the best part of this transaction. Lacey helped me find the right parts and sent me a video about installation. They both worked to correct my order and customized the delivery date.
The parts were precisely what I needed to get power to the bumper for a small trailer and bike rack. A few comments: order more butt connectors as the mfr sent 6 and there were seven wires on my Colorado. When connecting the tail harness to the truck harness, be sure all the wires on each side are the same length. The yellow wire strippers take some getting used to, so practice on several wires first. I’m an ‘average’ handy person so these last two suggestions didn’t come naturally to me, but overall this was a pretty simple installation. When I tested it and all the lights worked, I was a happy camper.

Steve, the 6 connectors are correct. The ring connector that attaches to the ground wire is the 7th connector.

I still like the wiring harness I purchased from your company last year. Thank you for asking.

2012 Dodge Ram Pickup
This is a fantastic quality part and an excellent alternative to Ford's OE connector (the difference being this one is far less expensive and does not have the Ford emblem. I used the connector to replace the 7-Pin/4-Pin combination plug on my 2002 Ford Super Duty after swapping the bed/bumper/tailgate from a 2012 Super Duty. It is a vastly superior connector in that the 4-Pin is integrally wired with the 7-Pin as opposed to having the 4-Pin spliced into the harness. I would definitely recommend this part for any towing rig. I eve put one on my father's 1995 Dodge Ram 2500. Don't hesitate to order this one!

This item came relatively quickly (with a slight delay due to a backorder, but E-Trailer communicated this very well). The directions, the fit and the on-live install video is very helpful. Please watch the video to be sure you are getting the wires crossed correctly - the wire colors from the harness and the factory wires do not all match so be careful there. Highly recommend this product.

I have a 2017 SantaFe I have 2 different trailers and need both types of plugs I am using this product along with a curt class III hitch and a curt 56332 wiring harness.
I want the finished outlet to be behind the factory cover I had to modify the Hopkins bracket by bending it in the opposite direction on a angle because the hitch is in the way .a little effort and its great

The trailer plug went bad on my 92 F150 several years ago. This plug is the same as my 10 F350. I like the combination 7 spade/4 pin. Other combos have a rubber flap to cover the 4 pin plug. I doubt I’m that disciplined and I would think that rubber cover would dry rot and break off. This plug has spring closure doors and looks great!
by: Jordan A04/06/2019
This is the same look as a factory install. I was greatly pleased with the overall installation. Super easy to wire up and looks great in the bumper. My truck has the clean factory look for way less than what they had quoted for an install.

This, combined with Item #e45ZR and Item #C68JR, worked great to add both a 4 way and a 7 way harness to my 2021 Kia Telluride. I only used the harness from the Item #C68JR kit, not the socket. I replaced the socket with this item.

This is a great affordable option to replace your worn out or damaged OEM trailer recepticle. The fit is perfect. It is made by Pollak which is the same as the Ford one you replace. I damaged mine and took the pin connectors out of new housing and installed it on my F350 without splicing wires. Worked perfectly.

Bought this trailer connector to use instead of the flat 4 wire connector. Wanted a nice finished look on the rear of the vehicle without any hanging wires. Mounts to the Draw Tite mounting bracket without any modification. Only minor problem I had was with the wiring. The wire colors are not the same between the 4 and 7 pole connector. A call to etrailer got the problem resolved. Great customer service!

Great product!
Fits the factory hole in the bumper perfectly.
Attaching the wires was a pain but that was due to GM saving $1 by just cutting the wire ends and not installing a plug......but they were all there so that was a plus.
If you do install this setup AND you install a hitch, leave the spare tire down while you attach the wires. There's plenty of wire with the plug but the factory wires are up kinda close to the underside of the bed so not a lotta room.
ALSO spend the extra couple dollars and get the heat shrink butt connectors, they're available here in whatever size you need.
Another thing to think about, if you plan on eventually installing bed/ cargo lights any time soon, now is the time to add that extra power wire before you crimp, shrink, and tape the hot wire......
by: Craig 02/14/2024
Nice upgrade in place of 4-wire-only. Looks good, works good.
by: Jeffrey05/02/2020
I’m glad I chose this over a single plug! No matter what you have on the hitch, you’ll have the plug for it. The pigtail is plenty long enough and the bracket makes for a simple installation. Get some shrink tube or shrink wrap butt connectors as the ones included aren’t going to keep weather out for long.
by: Morris04/16/2020
Perfect connector for what I was looking for on my 2019 RAV4. I originally installed it with the L bracket, but later changed it to be flush in the bumper. Looks very clean. The prefab pigtail made install into the car very easy as well.

Only gripe, the plug wiring on the back is at a 45° and the plug in on the front is at a 90°, so dont wire up the wires by the wiring plug but how the plug in on the front would plug in, I made the mistake, but other than that, works great, looks great, fixes botched wiring like my truck had with just twisted together and taped up wires, easy install

Bracket is most likely 14 gauge (measured it) and should be easy to weld. Connector appears to be of reasonable quality, but time will tell if it holds up or not. No matter, welding the bracket to my rollpan will be the difficult part, not replacing the connector housing, should it fail. Hard to rate something I haven't used, so first impressions, I guess it's a five star.
by: Brad J05/03/2023
easily connected. liked direct wire system. however lights worked at first, now all are out but brake lights. I think this may be due to the connectors used. havent had time to trouble shoot it yet.

by: Tacoma Stan09/11/2016
Fit like a glove where the plug was in the bumper. Easy to convert the four pin flat to the 7 pin using etrailer parts and instructions.

- Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2011 GMC TerrainIn order to install a brake controller on a 2011 GMC Terrain, you will need a few items. First, you will need to have a 4-Way trailer connector installed on the vehicle, # 118494, unless it already has one. Next, you will need a 4 and 7 way installation kit, # ETBC7. This will provide a 7-Way connector and all of the wiring to install it and a brake controller. Last, you will need the actual brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885 because it is easy to set up and easy...

The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98909 offers the 2" reciever and can handle up to 8,000 lbs. when towing giving you a little wiggle room. For wiring the Hopkins 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring part # HM40975-11998 is the way to go. Not only does it have the 7-way but also a 4-way for different trailers eliminating the need for any type of adapters. I have linked installation videos on each of these...

- How To Wire a Semi to Tow an RVThe brake and turn signal circuits are combined in standard trailer wiring applications therefore, I think there might be an issue with how the tow vehicle is wired. If the tow vehicle uses separate brake and turn signal circuits then you will need to combine them with the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter part # RM-732 which can then be wired to the 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket part # HM40975-11998. If you can't access the stop light circuit on your...
view full answer... - Adapter to Convert 6-Pin Flat Trailer Connector to 7-WayI'm not familiar with a 6 pin flat trailer connector. What you describe might have been a proprietary connector Ford used on the F53 chassis for their factory 7-way to plug into. Unfortunately, unless you can locate the OEM 7-way that would have the 6 pin plug on the other end, you'll need to do some splicing. I'd recommend you begin by using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to confirm that what you've found is indeed a trailer connector. Activate each lighting function and test the...

- Installing Taillight Converter Tow Package Trailer Wiring Harness on 2000 Chevy SilveradoTypically, your truck would have been equipped with tow package wiring that would have already been converted. It sounds like somebody's come along and messed with that. You can begin by checking for the original tow package wiring. Look for a wiring harness that terminates in bare wires located above the spare tire or on the driver's side frame rail alongside the spare. The plug you refer to won't be there, as GM didn't start using that until the 2003 model year. If the wiring is still...

The universal brackets fit on box, C-channel, or I-beam frames so it's just a matter of determining the width of your frame. You will also need to add a wiring connector to the rear of your North Trail to power the lights and possibly brakes on your...

This is a 7 and 4-way that can be wired easily to the wires you have. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness with 7-Way and 4-Way Connector for 2014 Nissan PathfinderThe Hopkins Trailer Connector # HM40975 combines with the Wiring Harness # PK11998 to make the part # HM40975-11998. This gives you both a 4-way and 7-way trailer connector.
view full answer... - How To Add 4-Way To Truck With 7-Way Trailer ConnectorThe easiest option to tow a trailer with 4-way when you have a 7-way would be an adapter, the Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole part # 47345. If you need to use both or would just like to have both accessible at the same time then you can swap out the existing 7-way with a 4 and 7-way, the 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part # HM40975-11998 or just the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part # HM40975.

With that said, if you don't want to install the 4 way first, you could hard wire in a 7 way like the # HM40975-11998. Most people prefer the ease of installing a plug and play 4 way option in order to avoid any potential wiring issues, so it's usually the preferred method. If...
view full answer... - Recommendations For Mounting A 4 And 7 Pin Adapter To 2021 Ford Bronco Factory HitchFactory mounts will end up being different than aftermarket ones, so the only thing I can recommend is removing the 4 Flat mount and drilling two holes in the hitch for the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow # HM47180 to mount to. On the factory hitch where your 4 Flat mount is located, it is designed for holding wiring like this, but how the 7 Way will mount will end up being very low as it will hang down below the receiver opening. What may be a better option is the Hopkins 7-Pole and 4-Pole...

- Looking to Adapt a 6 Round Vehicle Plug to 7 Blade Trailer PlugThe Hopkins 6-Pole to 7-Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 47435 will definitely work as an adapter, but you will indeed have no reverse lights. I do also need to mention that the 6 Round style plug is not going to be a very common style so it may not be a bad idea to upgrade it to a standard 7 Blade. The Hopkins 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring # HM40975-11998 will require some cutting and splicing to get installed, but will match the 7 Blade on your...

This plugs in behind your truck's taillights and then a hot lead ran up to the battery and connected using a fuse holder.

- 7-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Chevy ColoradoYour 2017 Chevy Colorado might have the round socket already to allow the part # HM40975 to install without needing the wiring harness. But if you did not have the connector the part # HM40975-11998 will fit and work well. Check out the install video I attached for more info on how this installed on a similar 2016 Chevy Colorado.
view full answer... - Hitch, Brake Controller and 7-Way Trailer Connector for 1966 Ford F-250For a hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite # 41001. For a brake controller, I'd recommend the Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller, part # 90885 and the # 20127 pigtail. To replace your existing 7-way, go with the # HM40975-11998 (be sure to pay attention to the wiring color code on the linked product description page). You'll also need the # 5506 brake controller installation kit. I'll link to a help article that fully explains how to install a brake controller.

There actually isn't just a plug-in connector so what you would need to do is replace both the plug and lead, which would mean some wiring is needed, so you can use the following: - 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring # HM40975-11998 So you'd need to cut off your current...

Ford might offer a harness that would allow you to plug in further up the truck bed, but the best bet we offer would be # PK11998 pigtail or if you're also missing the trailer connector, part # HM40975-11998. The pigtail would need to be connected to the cut wiring, so I'd recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to determine which wire carries which circuit. Have a helper activate...

For Hopkins wiring they follow the following wiring scheme: Red = Left turn and stop White = Ground Blue = Electric brakes Green = Right turn and stop Black = Battery Brown = Running lights Yellow = Reverse lights. If you need to add additional wire we do carry jacketed 7 wire by the foot as part # DW04914-1.
